Verwaltungsgerichtlicher Rechtsschutz für Aktionäre beim freiwilligen Rückzug des Emittenten von der Börse? Ordnungspolitische Überlegungen
Authors: Hammen Horst
Published: January 2017

Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, ob der freiwillige Rückzug eines Emittenten von der Börse gesellschaftsrechtlich oder öffentlichrechtlich reguliert sein sollte. Untersucht wird, ob es ordnungspolitisch gerechtfertigt ist, dass Aktionäre beim Widerruf einer Zulassung zum Börsenhandel durch die Börsengeschäftsführung verwaltungsgerichtlichen Rechtsschutz genießen.
My Production Facility, My Laboratory of Discovery
Authors: Hubbe Martin A.
Published: January 2017

By exercising of one’s curiosity, in combination with a lot of persistence, it is possible to solve some seemingly intractable problems. Many readers of this journal will have spent much, if not all of their careers, in university laboratories. In such settings there is an understandable emphasis on understanding underlying reasons. In other words, one is expected to focus on “why things happen” rather than just getting results. But if such an approach works well at the university, how about applying it at the production facility? This editorial features the stories of a man who was brave enough to spend his career asking “why” questions while working to improve the operations of paper mills.

OBJECTIVE:

To describe the strategies families report using to address the needs and concerns of siblings of children, adolescents, and young adults undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT).

METHODS:

A secondary semantic analysis was conducted of 86 qualitative interviews with family members of children, adolescents, and young adults undergoing HSCT at 4 HSCT centers and supplemented with a primary analysis of 38 additional targeted qualitative interviews (23 family members, 15 health care professionals) conducted at the primary center. Analyses focused on sibling issues and the strategies families use to address these issues.

RESULTS:

The sibling issues identified included: (1) feeling negative effects of separation from the patient and caregiver(s); (2) experiencing difficult emotions; (3) being faced with additional responsibilities or burdens; (4) lacking information; and (5) feeling excluded. Families and health care providers reported the following strategies to support siblings: (1) sharing information; (2) using social support and help offered by family or friends; (3) taking siblings to the hospital; (4) communicating virtually; (5) providing special events or gifts or quality time for siblings; (6) offering siblings a defined role to help the family during the transplant process; (7) switching between parents at the hospital; (8) keeping the sibling’s life constant; and, (9) arranging sibling meetings with a certified child life specialist or school counselor.

CONCLUSIONS:

Understanding the above strategies and sharing them with other families in similar situations can begin to address sibling issues during HSCT and can improve hospital-based, family-centered care efforts.

Desigualdades de género en ciencia, el caso de las científicas de la UAEMéx
Authors: Sánchez Jasso Ana Karen , Rivera Gómez Elva , Velasco Orozco Juan Jesús
Published: January 2017

Históricamente en el ámbito científico, las mujeres han pasado de la exclusión a la segregación. Diversos han sido los mecanismos implementados a fin de conseguir la igual distribución de género en ciencia y tecnología, si bien hay avances en cuanto al acceso a la educación, sigue siendo poca su presencia en puestos de reconocimiento y toma de decisiones. El objetivo de esta investigación es conocer las condiciones en las que se desarrollan y consolidan en el ámbito científico las y los académicos de la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México (UAEMéx) pertenecientes al Sistema Nacional de Investigadores (SNI) en México, mediante el análisis estadístico institucional y el enfoque de la antropología de la experiencia basada en vivencias personales y laborales. Con los resultados obtenidos se puede concluir que la persistencia de inequidades en ciencia se relaciona directamente con la transmisión y reproducción de los estereotipos de género.
Sueños que son pesadillas: propagación del turismo de élite y menoscabo ecológico en el Pacífico Central de Costa Rica
Authors: Lobo Montoya Diego
Published: January 2017

Este ensayo propone una discusión sobre el advenimiento de la industria turística de élite y su relación con múltiples formas de degradación sistémica que tienen lugar en el frágil contexto de Playa Herradura, en el Pacífico Central de Costa Rica. Para ello, se considera primordialmente como una transmutación espacial y ecológica, con un potente correlato simbólico y estructural, el cual ha impactado severamente al socio-ecosistema local. Desde el acaparamiento de tierras y la “turistización” de los ecosistemas, hasta la secesión de los “triunfadores” y la guetificación de la población local, dicho fenómeno muestra el carácter patológico del “desarrollo”.

La ensayística de Lisímaco Chavarría
Authors: Rodríguez Cascante Francisco
Published: January 2017

La ensayística de Lisímaco Chavarría Palma (1873-1913) constituye un entramado discursivo multiforme y dialógico, en el cual se abordan distintas temáticas de gran relevancia para la cultura costarricense: el periodismo, la educación, la herencia indígena, las artes, la crítica literaria, la política y la identidad cultural. Su labor ensayística se divide en dos etapas: 1896-1903 y 1904 hasta 1911. En este artículo se estudian las preocupaciones ensayísticas del autor ramonense, prestando atención a los dos períodos de su producción, y vinculando estas textualizaciones con los caminos del pensamiento de su contexto, finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX.

Published: January 2017

Abstract:

Intermittent claudication can seriously impair the patients’ quality of life. Cilostazol was registered in Hungary in 2014. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cilostazol in patients with intermittent claudication. 1405 patients were enrolled to the 6 months, multicenter, non-interventional trial. From the 1331 patients, who completed the study, the data of 674 patients were subjected to efficacy analysis. Pain free and maximal walking distance and the 6 minute walking test improved significantly at 3 months (78.65%, 65.23%, 56.09%; respectively, p<0.001), and a further increase was observed after 6 months treatment (129.74%, 107.2, 80.38% respectively, p<0.001). Adverse events occured in 7.26% of the patients. The most frequent adverse events were headache, diarrhea, dizziness, tachycardia or palpitation. 24 patients (1.7%) stopped cilostazol treatment because of side effects. 6 month cilostazol treatment significantly increased the walking distance in patients with intermittent claudication, without important safety problems.

POPULASI BAKTERI VIBRIO PADA PEMELIHARAAN LARVA UDANG PUTIH (Penaeus merguiensis) DENGAN PENAMBAHAN PROBIOTIK
Authors: Suriadnyani Ni Nengah , Aryani Ni Luh Tati , Mastantra Kadek
Published: January 2017

Udang putih (Penaeus merguiensis) merupakan salah satu spesies alternatif budidaya udang yang mempunyai nilai ekonomis tinggi dan potensial sebagai penghasil devisa negara. Namun dalam pemeliharaannya sering terkendala munculnya bakteri vibrio. Penggunaan probiotik diduga dapat menurunkan populasi vibr io sehingga mendukung kelangsungan hidup larva. Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah untuk mendapatkan informasi tentang populasi vibrio pada media pemeliharaan larva udang putih yang dipel ihara dengan penambahan probiotik Alteromonas sp. BY-9. Pemeliharaan larva menggunakan 6 bak policarbonat volume 1 m3. Perlakuan yang diterapkan adalah pemeliharaan larva P. merguensis dengan pemberian probiotik Alteromonas sp. BY-9 dan tanpa probiotik sebagai kontrol. Larva dipelihara sampai PL-10 dan selama pemeliharaan diberikan pakan alami berupa plankton (Chaetocerosceratosporum), Artemia salina dan pakan buatan microencapsulated dengan jumlah yang disesuaikan dengan pertumbuhan larva udang. Untuk mengetahui populasi vibrio, sampel air diambil pada setiap perubahan stadia larva dan diinokulasikan pada TCBS Agar, selanjutnya diinkubasi selama 24 jam dan dihitung koloninya. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa populasi vibrio pada pemeliharaan larva dengan penambahan probiotik Alteromonas sp. BY-9 lebih rendah (zoea-1: 80 CFU/mL, zoea-3: 416 CFU/mL, mysis-3: 13.3 CFU/mL dan PL-1: 40.55 CFU/mL) bila dibandingkan pemeliharaan larva tanpa probiotik (zoea-1: 800, zoea-3: 670, mysis-3: 120, dan PL-1: 256.6 CFU/mL). Larva yang dipelihara dengan penambahan probiotik Alteromonas sp. BY-9 18% dan pemeliharaan tanpa probiotik menghasilkan sintasan sebesar 33%.
THE EFFECT OF DEPTH OF HOOKS, SET AND SOAK TIME TO THE CATCH PER UNIT OF EFFORT OF TUNA IN THE EASTERN INDIAN OCEAN
Authors: Setyadji Bram , Nugraha Budi , Sadiyah Lilis
Published: January 2017

Yellowfin (Thunnus albacares) and bigeye (T. obesus) tuna have been intensively exploited by longline fleets since 1980’s, however, a large proportion of zero catch per set of target species still accurred. Zero catch data contributed significantly to the low catch per unit of effort (CPUE) compared to other countries at the same fishing area. Therefore, understanding the factors contributed to the CPUE of tuna is essential, in order to improve longline fishing efficiency. A total of 2.115 set-by-set data were obtained from Indonesian Scientific Observer Program. The onboard observations were carried out at commercial tuna longline operated in Eastern Indian Ocean from August 2005 to December 2014. Several analytical approaches were conducted in this paper. First, General Linear Model (GLM) was applied in order to model the relationship between CPUE with all the variables involved. Second, boxplot diagram, polynomial and linear regression were applied to fit the relationship between CPUE with set time, soak time and depth (represented by hook position) respectively. The result showed that, there was no significant relationship between set time and CPUE of bigeye and yellowfin tuna. Soak time was positively related with CPUE of yellowfin and affect adversely on bigeye. Depth also have significant relationship with CPUE of tuna, where catch of yellowfin decreased linearly with hook depth, whereas catch of bigeye was performed the opposite. Improvement in tuna longline fishery in eastern Indian Ocean can be achieved through implementation of the specific soak time and hook depth for each target species, i.e. yellowfin and bigeye tuna.

Authors: Rochman Fathur , Pranowo Widodo Setiyo , Jatmiko Irwan
Published: January 2017

The current study highlighted the relationship between the number of ALB catch, swimming layer and sub-surface oceanographic variables (temperature, dissolved oxygen, salinity, nitrate, phosphate and silicate) in Eastern Indian Ocean. This data used in this study were based on the Research Institute for Tuna Fisheries (RITF) observer program in Benoa from 2010-2013. This paper presents the information about vertical distribution of Albacore and its relations to sub surface oceanographic variables (SSOV). Results show that the optimum catch of albacore occurred at depth of 118 to 291 m with the average temperature between       12.41-20.47 °C, dissolved oxygen 3.24-4.68 ml/l , salinity 34.78-35.01 psu, nitrate 6.78-17.50 µ mol/l, phosphate 0.62-1.27 µ mol/l and  silicate 10.06-24.77 µ mol/l. The highest catches of albacore are mostly at depth of 156 m (hook number 2 and 11) with the average temperature 18.71°C, dissolved oxygen 4.68 ml/l, salinity 34.78 psu, nitrate 10.71 µ mol/l, phosphate 0.86 µ mol/l and silicate 15.95 µ mol/l. The highest influence of swimming layer and sub-surface oceanographic variable to the number of ALB catch contained at depth of 291 m of albacore swimming layer with coefficient correlation ( r ) 0.934 and determination coefficient ( R2) 0.872.  The lowest influence of  swimming layer and sub-surface oceanographic variable to the number of ALB catch  contained at depth of 156 m of albacore swimming layer with coefficient correlation ( r ) 0.528 and determination coefficient   ( R2) 0,279. The relationship between swimming layer and sub-surface oceanographic variable on catch of  ALB tuna was low (<0.500).
THE DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE OF DECAPOD AND FISH COMMUNITIES IN CLEVELAND BAY, AUSTRALIA
Authors: Prasetyo Andhika Prima , Purwoko Rudy Masuswo
Published: January 2017

Spatial and temporal variations in the fish and decapod communities were investigated at three stations in Cleveland Bay along with other zooplankton and phytoplankton communities. The linkage between biological assemblages and physical properties of the ocean was explained to develop better understanding of population dynamic of planktonic communities. Biological and physical properties data were gathered in 3 stations by 6 different trips. The results show that there is a significant association between daytime and tidal period to the abundance of planktonic communities (P < 0.05). Spatial distribution of fish and decapod communities are likely explained by “predator pit” and “match/mismatch” concepts to increase the survival probability along with physical properties of the ocean.

Anästhesie für die Sectio caesarea beim Hund – ein evidenzbasierter Ansatz
Authors: Alef Michaele
Published: January 2017

In den letzten Jahren wurden einige neue Untersuchungen zur Anästhesie bei der Sectio caesarea veröffentlicht. Der Artikel greift diese und wegweisende Untersuchungen zu Faktoren auf, die das Risiko für die Welpen beeinflussen, und gibt auf Basis der vorhandenen Evidenz eine Empfehlung zum anästhesiologischen Vorgehen. Zusätzlich werden mögliche Alternativen diskutiert. Die Narkoseeinleitung mit Propofol oder Alfaxalon und die Erhaltung mittels Inhalationsanästhesie scheint das Verfahren mit dem geringsten Risiko zu sein. Eine adäquate und risikoarme Schmerzausschaltung wird intraoperativ durch eine Epiduralanästhesie erreicht. Nach Entwicklung der Welpen und auch postoperativ ermöglichen Opiode eine angemessene Schmerztherapie für das Muttertier. Eine Stabilisierung der Hündin vor der Anästhesie und eine Optimierung ihrer Sauerstoffversorgung sind weitere basale Forderungen.
Integration of Information Literacy into the Curriculum: Constructive Alignment from Theory into Practice
Authors: Dahlqvist Claes , Larsson Stina
Published: January 2017

Librarian-teacher cooperation is essential for the integration of information literacy into course syllabi. Therefore, a common theoretical and methodological platform is needed. As librarians at Kristianstad University we have had the opportunity to develop such a platform when teaching information literacy in a basic course for teachers in higher education pedagogy. Information literacy is taught in context with academic writing, distance learning and teaching, and development of course syllabi.Constructive Alignment in Theory: We used constructive alignment in designing our part of the course. John Biggs’ ideas tell us that assessment tasks (ATs) should be aligned to what is intended to be learned. Intended learning outcomes (ILOs) specify teaching/learning activities (TLAs) based on the content of learning. TLAs should be designed in ways that enable students to construct knowledge from their own experience. The ILOs for the course are to have arguments for the role of information literacy in higher education and ideas of implementing them in TLAs. The content of learning is for example the concept of information literacy, theoretical perspectives and constructive alignment for integration in course syllabi. TLAs are written pre-lecture reﬂections on the concept of information literacy, used as a starting point for the three-hour seminar. Learning reﬂections are written afterwards. The AT is to revise a syllabus (preferably using constructive alignment) for a course the teacher is responsible for, where information literacy must be integrated with the other parts and topics of the course.Constructive Alignment in Practice: Using constructive alignment has taught us that this model serves well as the foundation of the theoretical and methodological platform for librarian-teacher cooperation when integrating information literacy in course syllabi. It contains all important aspects of the integration of information literacy in course syllabi and reﬂects constructivist and socio-cultural theories.
Unifying Librarian Skills with Students’ Need for Information Literacy
Authors: Brink Helle , Carlsen Tine Furbo
Published: January 2017

The presentation will focus on the challenge of unifying the librarians’ skills, knowledge, and eagerness to communicate these, with the students’ need for information literacy (IL). We propose that this is done best by departing from the view of IL as a normative concept where the meeting between librarian and the students focusses on teaching the students tools and techniques for future use. We perceive it as far more beneficial to view IL from a Limberg perspective, where focus is on the students’ learning and needs in his/her current situation and context.Based on teaching experiences at Aalborg University Library, we will explore the shift in approach to IL through two cases. The teaching activities at Aalborg University are founded on problem-based learning (PBL). PBL entails among other things that students are responsible for their own learning and work with real problems in groups. PBL is therefore a highly significant element in our perception of IL and a corner stone in the teaching activities at Aalborg University Library.Our new approach to IL specifically means that we more gradually than before instill the students with the knowledge and skills needed. In our teaching activities, we focus on showing the complexity of the academic world of information, and at the same time provide the students with basic navigation skills. Hopefully, this enables them to discover what it is they need to know in order to become information literate in the given situation, and if necessary ask us for assistance to achieve this. Based on their motivation to learn, we can support our teaching with a guidance session where we unfold the tools and knowledge required for them to become information literate in their given situation.
Embedded Peer Inquiry Specialists: A Gateway to Information Literacy
Authors: Salomon Danielle , Glassman Julia , Lee Simon , Reiley Alicia
Published: January 2017

Peer-assisted learning has been embraced by higher education as a way to boost student success. At the same time, academic librarians have found embedded librarianship to be an effective way to develop students' information literacy skills. The embedded librarianship model, however, is difficult to scale. The UCLA Library is testing a program that combines embedded librarianship with peer learning to solve some of the challenges associated with those models.The program works by embedding a student who has completed a General Education (GE) lecture course back into the current year's course to help students with research and writing assignments. The embedded student, called an "Inquiry Specialist,” is nominated by that course's faculty. The program launched in 2015 in five courses that serve a total of 830 students. Assessment is ongoing and includes: 1. IRB-approved study that will compare data (grades, retention, first-generation status, etc.) from students who connected with an Inquiry Specialist with those who did not; 2. Information literacy pre- and post-assessments; 3. Analysis of course evaluations; 4. Student survey.Results indicate that the combined model is an effective and scalable gateway to information literacy. During the first six weeks of Fall, 830 students (15% of the freshman class) attended a 40-minute library orientation. Approximately 20% of the 830 students subsequently sought additional help from the Inquiry Specialists. An analysis of course evaluations demonstrated that students in courses with an Inquiry Specialist rated their improvement in library and research skills 25% and 19% higher, respectfully, than students in courses without an Inquiry Specialist. Student scores on the information literacy quiz increased by an average of 9%. When surveyed, 68% of students said the Inquiry Specialists were “Very Helpful” (36%) or “Helpful” (34%). Plans are underway to double the size of the program in the 2016-17 academic year.

Management of the M4 Elevated Section substructures
Authors: Hendy Chris , Brock Chris , Nicholls Tony
Published: January 2017

The M4 Elevated Section in west London is a 1·9 km concrete viaduct structure providing a major arterial route into London. An intervention model bringing together structural assessment, corrosion and crack monitoring data plus current and future predicted condition has been developed in a three-dimensional (3D) visual platform to enable structural rehabilitation of the substructure cross-head beams to be prioritised and planned on the network over the 30 years of the M25 design build finance and operate contract for Connect Plus. An initial assessment of the cross-heads undertaken to identify residual strength discovered a deficiency in capacity compared with current standards. Further assessment, including 3D strut and tie, non-linear finite-element analysis and plastic analysis, was undertaken to confirm public safety with continued trafficking of the structure and to determine strengthening requirements. Additionally, extensive monitoring of the cross-heads, including crack surveys and remote monitoring techniques, has been implemented to provide early warning of deterioration to prioritise interventions. The long-term maintenance strategy includes strengthening, cathodic protection concrete preservation and concrete repair. This paper discusses the development of the 3D model, the prioritisation process, including deterioration modelling, and the advanced structural analysis used to formulate the strengthening and maintenance programme for these substructures.
On the mental toughness of self-aware athletes: Evidence from competitive tennis players
Authors: Cowden Richard G.
Published: January 2017

This study examined the relationship between mental toughness (MT) and self-awareness in a sample of 175 male and 158 female South African tennis athletes (mean age = 29.09 years, s.d. = 14.00). The participants completed the Sport Mental Toughness Questionnaire and the Self-Reflection and Insight Scale to assess MT (confidence, constancy, control) and self-awareness (self-reflection and self-insight) dimensions, respectively. Linear regression indicated that self-insight (β=0.49), but not self-reflection (β=0.02), predicted global MT. Multivariate regression analyses were significant for self-reflection (ηp²=0.11) and self-insight (ηp²=0.24). Self-reflection predicted confidence and constancy (ηp²=0.05 and 0.06, respectively), whereas self-insight predicted all three MT subcomponents (ηp²=0.12 to 0.14). The findings extend prior qualitative research evidence supporting the relevance of self-awareness to the MT of competitive tennis athletes, with self-reflection and insight forming prospective routes through which athletes’ MT may be developed.

Significance: 

Self-awareness attributes were predictive of higher levels of mental toughness among competitive tennis players.

Dimensions of self-awareness may offer routes for developing athletes’ mental toughness.

Published: January 2017

The goal of the study is to review changes in dryland farming culture of atoni pah meto in North Center Timor District caused by global climate changes. The research method used was qualitative descriptive: the data collecting method used was interviews, observations, and the document study. Research results prove that the atoni pah meto which consists of eighteen farming rituals, five work patterns, work division between genders, and work ethos, has shifted. It is caused by the interaction of atoni pah meto with other nations, tribes, and ethnic groups, further affected by global climate changes. Climate changes have made a great impact on farmer’s existence and culture. Because of that, the atoni pah meto of NCT District must open up more by accepting changes in the form of program intervention from the governmental and private institutions. It is time to leave shifting cultivation and slash and burn culture, and move to nature friendly farming technologies. Sickle culture will be offered here to replace slash and burn culture, supported by technologies, a more efficient work pattern and work division, and high work ethos, and it is expected that dryland farming of atoni pah meto will persevere.

Authors: Mboka Idris
Published: January 2017

This study aims to identify and describes the verbal symbols and cultural imagery of Lio Ethnic (LE) community which are contained in Batuna’u Prayer (BP). The theory used as analytical scalpel is the Cultural Linguistics Theory (CLT). This study shows 5 forms of BP used in LE community, which are the traditional house construction BP (THC), going to sow BP (GS), delivering dowry BP (DD), going to school BP (GSC), and deceased person BP (DP). From these five forms of BP, there are verbal symbols of a language grammatical discourse (phonology, morphology, and syntax), and the metaphor styles of language, metonymy, poetic sound, and pararelism phrase. After in-depth interpretation of those verbal symbols, some cultural imagery of LE community has been found, such as (1) belief / religion imagery, (2) social imagery, (3) political imagery, (4) human ego towards else imagery, (5) beauty imagery, (6) fear imagery, (7) appreciative imagery, and (8) honor imagery. These study findings describe the noble values which are manifested in Batuna’u prayers. Therefore, they will be beneficial for the Lio Ethnic community in general, and especially for Lio Ethnic students and scholars that have not recognized the noble values contained in Batuna’u prayers.

The absence of equivalents is an issue that has always been faced by translators in translating the source text. When translating proverbs, which are loaded with moral and cultural messages, translators are required to be able to transfer the messages appropriately. The different types of proverbs between French and Indonesian are a major cause of translators’ difficulty in finding the equivalents in the form of proverbs. This issue was raised from the author’s own experience in translating French fable by Jean de La Fontaine into Indonesian. By using the theory of Paremi and proverbs types of Bhuvaneswar (2000), French and Indonesian proverbs are analyzed in order to find the kinds of proverbs of the source language and the target language. It was found that the absence of equivalents in the form of Indonesian proverbs caused by the opposite of types of French proverbs and Indonesian proverbs.

I ntermediate hyperglycemia, or prediabetes, is increasing worldwide, affecting people of all ages, including adolescents. Hormonal, physiological, psychological, and lifestyle changes in adolescence have been associated with disruptions in glucose homeostasis, such as decreased insulin sensitivity, insulin resistance, or the combination of both. As a rule, glucose homeostasis is ameliorated, in normal subjects, when puberty is completed. However, in susceptible individuals, like obese adolescents, or adolescents with a strong genetic background, there is a progression to type 2 diabetes onset. Thus, susceptible adolescents should be screened for prediabetes, using fasting plasma glucose, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and oral glucose tolerance testing. Prediabetic adolescents should be counseled for a healthy lifestyle including healthy dietary habits, increased physical activity, and/or stress management. Other pathological conditions should be adequately treated. Early recognition of prediabetes in adolescence will prevent type 2 diabetes onset, decreasing the diabetes-associated health burden in adult life. This review aims to revise the associations and elucidate on the gaps between prediabetes and adolescence, via a comprehensive review of the current medical literature.
