Repugnance Management and Transactions in the Body
Authors: Healy Kieran , Krawiec Kimberly D.
Published: May 2017

Researchers have made progress in understanding the role of repugnance in transactions involving the human body. Yet, often, the focus remains on exchange between individuals and how they mentally cope (or not) with repugnance. But these exchanges also entail a “vertical” dimension in which organizational and state actors both directly manage repugnance and also limit the repugnance management tools available to the marketplace. Analyzing repugnance and its management as an organizational and regulatory problem, in addition to an individual one, suggests that a single, harmonized system of exchange in bodily goods is unlikely to emerge with the passage of time.
Sacred versus Pseudo-Sacred Values: How People Cope with Taboo Trade-Offs
Authors: Tetlock Philip E. , Mellers Barbara A. , Scoblic J. Peter
Published: May 2017

Psychologists have documented widespread public deference to “sacred values” that communities, formally or informally, exempt from tradeoffs with secular limits, like money. This work has, however, been largely confined to low-stakes settings. As the stakes rise, deference must decline because people can't write blank checks for every “sacred” cause. Shadow pricing is inevitable which sets the stage for political blame-games of varying sophistication. In a rational world, citizens would accept the necessity of such tradeoffs, but the attraction to moral absolutes is strong--perhaps even essential for social cohesion.
Abducting Economics
Authors: Heckman James J. , Singer Burton
Published: May 2017

Abduction is the process of generating and choosing models, hypotheses, and data analyzed in response to surprising findings. All good empirical economists abduct. Explanations usually evolve as studies evolve. The abductive approach challenges economists to step outside the framework of received notions about the “identification problem” that rigidly separates the act of model and hypothesis creation from the act of inference from data. It asks the analyst to engage models and data in an iterative dynamic process, using multiple models and sources of data in a back and forth where both models and data are augmented as learning evolves.
Replication in Labor Economics: Evidence from Data and What It Suggests
Authors: Hamermesh Daniel S.
Published: May 2017

Examining the most heavily cited publications in labor economics from the early 1990s, I show that few of over 3,000 articles, citing them directly, replicates them. They are replicated more frequently using data from other time periods and economies, so that the validity of their central ideas has typically been verified. This pattern of scholarship suggests, beyond the currently required depositing of data and code upon publication, that there is little need for formal mechanisms for replication. The market for scholarship already produces replications of non-laboratory applied research.
A Proposal to Organize and Promote Replications
Authors: Coffman Lucas C. , Niederle Muriel , Wilson Alistair J.
Published: May 2017

We make a two-pronged proposal to (i) strengthen the incentives for replication work and (ii) better organize and draw attention to the replications that are conducted. First we propose that top journals publish short “replication reports.” These reports could summarize novel work replicating an existing high-impact paper, or they could highlight a replication result embedded in a wider-scope published paper. Second, we suggest incentivizing replications with the currency of our profession: citations. Enforcing a norm of citing replication work alongside the original would provide incentives for replications to both authors and journals.
The Impact of Indonesian Forest Fires on Singaporean Pollution and Health
Authors: Sheldon Tamara L. , Sankaran Chandini
Published: May 2017

Forest burning in Indonesia results in severe episodes of “seasonal haze” in neighboring Singapore. We offer the first causal analysis of the transboundary health effects of the Indonesian forest burning. Instrumenting for air pollution with satellite fire data, we estimate the impacts of the Indonesian fires on Singaporean polyclinic attendance for acute upper respiratory tract infections and acute conjunctivitis. We find that a one standard deviation increase in the Indonesian fire radiative power increases Singaporean pollution by 1.4 standard deviations and causes a 0.7 standard deviation increase in polyclinic attendance for each of the illnesses examined in this paper.
How Children with Mental Disabilities Affect Household Investment Decisions
Authors: Bogan Vicki L. , Fernandez Jose M.
Published: May 2017

We analyze how children with mental disabilities influence parental portfolio allocation. We find that risky asset holding decreases among households with special needs children. However, conditional on participating in financial markets, households with special needs children invest a larger portion of their wealth in risky assets. As risky asset holding is a key component of wealth building, these findings have important implications for both policy and household wealth inequality.
Consumption Smoothing and Frequency of Benefit Payments of Cash Transfer Programs
Authors: Aguila Emma , Kapteyn Arie , Perez-Arce Francisco
Published: May 2017

We analyze two noncontributory Mexican pension programs for the elderly. Both paid similar amounts, but one paid monthly while the other paid every two months. The Life Cycle Hypothesis suggests frequency of benefits payments should not affect consumption smoothing, but we find the monthly program was more effective in smoothing food expenditure. It also increased doctor visits and reduced the incidence of hunger spells. Under the bimonthly program, expenditures on food significantly decline between paychecks but ownership of durable goods increased. This suggests the importance of payment frequency in social programs.
The Economist as Plumber
Authors: Duflo Esther
Published: May 2017

As economists increasingly help governments design new policies and regulations, they take on an added responsibility to engage with the details of policy making and, in doing so, to adopt the mindset of a plumber. Plumbers try to predict as well as possible what may work in the real world, mindful that tinkering and adjusting will be necessary since our models gives us very little theoretical guidance on what (and how) details will matter. This essay argues that economists should seriously engage with plumbing, in the interest of both society and our discipline.
Case Report: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor causes formation of an ileal conglomerate in a patient previously treated for Wilms’ tumor
Authors: Leganger Julie , Raagaard Soerensen Rikke , Rosenberg Jacob , Burcharth Jakob
Published: May 2017

Introduction: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are uncommon mesenchymal lesions classified by WHO as neoplasms of uncertain behavior. Morphologically, IMTs are composed of proliferating spindled myofibroblastic cells accompanied by a marked - usually chronic - inflammatory infiltrate. The etiology is unknown, but several theories have been suggested, including an association with Wilms’ tumor. IMTs are rarely diagnosed in adults and have been reported in various organs. IMTs are considered benign but with a potential to recur at their primary site.

Case report: A 44-year-old female experienced intermittent severe abdominal pain, loose stools and a visible abdominal bulge. In early childhood the patient had been treated for a Wilms’ tumor. At admission Meckel’s diverticulitis was suspected, but during surgery a tumor in the terminal ileum, creating a conglomerate of small intestinal loops, was observed and completely resected.  The pathology report characterized the tumor as a histologically benign inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. Postoperatively, the patient experienced several complications including an anastomotic leakage and subsequent formation of an abscess and transcutaneous fistula.

Discussion: IMTs rarely arise in the small intestine, and to our knowledge the manifestation of a small intestine conglomerate has not been described previously. Making the diagnosis is difficult, and numerous differential diagnoses were possible in this case. Approximately 8-25% of IMTs in the gastrointestinal tract recur locally. Complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice, and re-excision is the preferred therapy for local recurrence.  To our knowledge, no guidelines concerning follow-ups are available.

Conclusion: IMTs in the terminal ileum can mimic Meckel’s diverticulitis and present with symptoms of obstructive ileus due to the formation of a conglomerate of small intestinal loops. Furthermore, IMTs should be considered as a diagnostic possibility in patients with a past medical history of Wilms’ tumor.

Mild to moderate equine asthma — an overview
Authors: Pirie R Scott
Published: May 2017

Mild to moderate equine asthma (EA) is the newly adopted term which defines the syndrome previously known as inflammatory airway disease (IAD). The adoption of this new nomenclature recognises the clinical phenotypic overlap amongst various non-infectious diseases of the equine lower airways; most notably between mild to moderate EA and severe EA (previously termed recurrent airway obstruction (RAO)). Despite the high prevalence of mild to moderate EA, particularly within certain horse populations, there remain significant gaps in knowledge, especially with respect to aetiological triggers and pathogenesis, both significant determinants of appropriate therapeutic and prophylactic approaches.

Consequences of activation policy targeting young adults with health-related problems in Sweden and Denmark
Authors: Hultqvist Sara , Nørup Iben
Published: May 2017

The Scandinavian countries have a long history of active labour market policy, using activation to promote work among those with no problems besides unemployment. However, activation policy is now permeating social policies providing economic protection for young adults who cannot work for health reasons, which has been legitimised through a strong emphasis on paid work as the main source of social participation. In this article, we discuss the consequences of this activation policy in Denmark and Sweden, and argue that the strong emphasis on work has counterproductive consequences when directed towards individuals with health problems.
The Lisbon stock exchange in the twentieth century
Authors: Mata Maria Eugénia , Costa José Rodrigues da , Justino David
Published: May 2017

Este livro dirige-se a leitores nacionais e estrangeiros, e por essa razão aparece em inglês. Na sequência do levantamento da história da Bolsa de Lisboa publicado em 1996 por David Justino, o presente texto estende esse período medieval à análise do século XIX até aos nossos dias. Muitas outras Bolsas de Valores da Europa e de outros países foram estudadas e publicadas por muitos autores, mas nenhum livro comparável para Portugal existiu até ao presente trabalho. O texto é acessível a leitores com conhecimentos médios. Num mundo de internacionalização das empresas e das instituições financeiras, é fundamental que estas sejam capazes de mobilizar as capacidades do Mercado de Capitais para financiar a economia, e que possuam um conhecimento profundo do papel de uma Bolsa de Valores para o funcionamento eficiente desse mercado. Portugal é um caso de grande interesse para os países em vias de desenvolvimento, pois foi capaz de reinstaurar o mercado após 1974, e com tal sucesso que o país aderiu à União Europeia em 1986 e ao inovador Grupo Euronext de Bolsas de Valores em 2002. O livro divulga pela primeira vez uma base de dados utilizada para o cálculo de um índice de acções que foi desenvolvido ao longo de três anos com o apoio da bolsa PTDC/HISHIS/100132/2008 da FCT, e utilizando uma metodologia que torna esse índice comparável aos índices internacionais comuns e compatível com o Índice Geral calculado diariamente pela Bolsa.
Sounds that matter - Dynamiken des Hörens in Theater und Performance
Authors: Rost Katharina
Published: May 2017

Das Theater ist nicht zuletzt auch ein Ort des Hörens, ein »Auditorium«: Die Klanglandschaft gegenwärtiger Theateraufführungen ist von ausgefeilten Sound Designs, Melodie-Loops, Popsongs, Opernarien, Geräuschen oder anhaltenden Stillephasen geprägt. Bei Katie Mitchell, David Marton, Michael Thalheimer, Christoph Marthaler und anderen wird nicht nur viel, sondern vor allem jeweils anders gehört. Katharina Rost analysiert die verschiedenen Hörweisen, die sich durch die akustische Gestaltung von Aufführungen und Dynamiken der auditiven Aufmerksamkeit ergeben - z.B. »Abdriften«, »Absorbiertsein«, »Aufhorchen« oder »Entrücktsein« -, und fragt, inwiefern diese Wahrnehmungsmodi in einem Spannungsverhältnis zum historischen Rezeptionsideal des konzentrierten Zuhörens stehen.
Kritik der Geschlechterordnung
Authors: Zimmermann Andrea Maria
Published: May 2017

Wie zeigt sich im Theater der Gegenwart das Private als politisch? Wie ist in diesem Zusammenhang feministische Kritik möglich? An der Schnittstelle von Literaturwissenschaft und Gender Studies analysiert Andrea Maria Zimmermann bisher eher unbekannte, aber thematisch und ästhetisch besonders reizvolle deutschsprachige Theatertexte aus den Jahren 2000 bis 2010. Aus einer queer-feministischen Perspektive entwickelt sie in Anlehnung an Luce Irigaray und Judith Butler ein Konzept von Kritik als dreifache Bewegung aus Rekonstruktion, Dekonstruktion und Utopie: das Spiel der Mimesis. In einem faszinierenden Dialog zwischen Theorie, Methode und Material fordert die Studie dazu auf, das zeitdiagnostische und politische Schreiben zeitgenössischer Theaterautor_innen zu entdecken.
Kindheit, Kultur und moralische Emotionen
Authors: Scheidecker Gabriel
Published: May 2017

Wie erlernen Kinder Emotionen und welche Rolle spielt dabei ihre soziale und kulturelle Umwelt? Gabriel Scheidecker untersucht die - bisher primär in westlichen Kontexten erforschte - Sozialisation von Emotionen erstmals in Madagaskar. Auf der Basis einer 15-monatigen Feldforschung in einer ländlichen Region der Insel beschreibt er detailliert die emotionalen Erfahrungen von Kindern in Verbindung mit den Erziehungsidealen und -praktiken ihrer Bezugspersonen. Im Fokus steht die Ausbildung einer kulturspezifischen moralischen Furcht gegenüber den Eltern sowie die feine Ausdifferenzierung von Wut. Damit erweitert der Band die Forschung zur Emotionssozialisation um eine kulturanthropologische Perspektive.
Verausgabung
Authors: Diakité Asma
Published: May 2017

Wie ist angesichts der fortwährenden Dramatisierung der Politik und des allgegenwärtigen Diktats der Selbstwerdung eine ästhetische Praxis jenseits des Modells der Handlung noch möglich? In ihrer an Georges Bataille angelehnten Beschreibung einer ästhetischen Praxis als Verausgabung lotet Asma Diakité die Möglichkeiten des Theater-Raums als Ausnahme aus. Die Arbeit ist philosophische Reflexion und zugleich theaterwissenschaftliche Studie ästhetischer Praxis und Erfahrung. Sie macht es möglich, das Theater in Opposition zu einem am Vollbringen orientierten Konzept des Performativen (»kreative Selbstverwirklichung«) als »Kunst des Unterlassens« zu verstehen.
Gewerkschaftsmacht und ihre Grenzen
Authors: Führer Karl Christian
Published: May 2017

Die Gewerkschaft »Öffentliche Dienste, Transport und Verkehr« (ÖTV) und ihr Vorsitzender Heinz Kluncker galten in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren als überaus mächtig: Mit dem legendären zweistelligen Lohnabschluss von 1974 brachten sie sogar Bundeskanzler Willy Brandt in Bedrängnis. Karl Christian Führers Studie porträtiert die ÖTV und zeigt, wie die Organisation in Tarifverhandlungen und bei Streiks agierte. Politische Rahmenbedingungen wie das ambivalente Verhältnis zur SPD und öffentliche Debatten über den Einfluss der Gewerkschaften werden dabei ebenso berücksichtigt wie der wirtschaftliche und soziale Wandel zwischen 1964 und 1982. Das Buch leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Geschichte der deutschen Gewerkschaften und der jungen Bundesrepublik.
Communicative approach as an English language teaching method: Van Atatürk Anatolian High School sample
Authors: Şeker Emrullah , Aydın İlker
Published: May 2017

This study tries to find out how effective Communicative Approach is as a widely practiced English teaching method in Turkish Secondary Schools. The study covers the 10th, 11th and 12th grade students of Van Atatürk Anatolian High School. At the initial stage of the study, a sample level test was given in order to evaluate the available English level of the students. At the end of the study, it was found out that there was a discrepancy between the principal target benefits of Secondary Schools English Teaching Program, which is principally based on CLT and the results obtained. The majority of the language learners could only utter daily or structural expressions mostly studied beforehand or often practiced but could not reproduce those never experienced or those depending on creativity. Furthermore, the possible reasons for these negative results were discussed and questioned whether or how much they were associated with CLT. Finally, some suggestions were put forth in the light of other studies and views on this field. This study suggests that CLT is not efficient enough in achieving the language targets set for the second language (L2) learners in Van Atatürk Anatolian High School.

Reflection of animosities among countries on consumers: A conceptual study on consumer animosity concept
Ülkeler arasındaki düşmanlıkların tüketicilere yansıması: Tüketici düşmanlığı kavramı üzerine kavramsal bir çalışma
Authors: Kiracı Hakan
Published: May 2017

Consumer animosity which was firstly defined by Klein et al. (1998) is often used to explain consumers’ buying behavior from a foreign country. Considering the findings and results of past empirical studies, it could be seen that consumer animosity especially was a stronger predictor of willingness to buy foreign (target country-ies) products and consumer animosity was significantly distinct structure from consumer ethnocentrism which was previously conceptualized by Shimp and Sharma (1987). In this study, in the era of increasing anti-country currents, it was explained the consumer animosity concept that could be defined as strong negative emotions toward purchasing products from a disliked country and mentioned the differences and similarities between consumer animosity and other concepts such as consumer ethnocentrism, origin-of-country effect, country image, country boycott, consumer cosmopolitanism. In this aim, it was collected the findings and results of past studies, revealed the drivers and outcomes related to consumer animosity, pointed out the importance of consumer animosity on businesses actions, and presented the results of classifications related to consumer animosity concept and proposals to the businesses and future studies. Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file. Özetİlk kez Klein vd. (1998) tarafından tanımlanan tüketici düşmanlığı, tüketicilerin yabancı ülkelerin ürünlerini satın alma davranışlarını açıklamada sıkça kullanılan bir kavramdır. Tüketici düşmanlığı konusunda günümüze dek yapılan ampirik çalışmalar sonucunda ortaya çıkan bulgular; tüketici düşmanlığının yabancı ürün satın alma niyetinin belirlenmesinde güçlü bir tahmin değişkeni olduğunu yansıtmaktadır. Bunun yanında, tüketici düşmanlığının daha önce Shimp ve Sharma (1987) tarafından tanımlanan tüketici etnosentrizminden ayrı bir yapıyı temsil ettiği ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Bu çalışmada; anti-ülke akımlarının günden güne çoğaldığı çağımızda, belirli bir ülkeye karşı hissedilen olumsuz duyguların karşılığı olarak ortaya çıkan tüketici düşmanlığı kavramı açıklanmakta ve bu kavramın, tüketici etnosentrizmi, orijin ülke etkisi, ülke imajı, ülke boykotu, tüketici kosmopolitanlığı vb. kavramlarla benzer ve farklı yönleri dile getirilmektedir. Bu amaçla, daha önce tüketici düşmanlığı konusunda yapılmış kuramsal ve ampirik çalışmaların bulguları derlenmekte, tüketicilerin hissettiği düşmanlığın neden ve sonuçları belirtilmekte, tüketici düşmanlığı kavramının işletmeler açısından taşıdığı öneme değinilmekte, tüketici düşmanlığı konusunda yapılan sınıflandırmalar sonucu ortaya atılan düşmanlık türleri açıklanmakta ve son olarak işletmeler ve gelecek araştırmalar için öneriler sunulmaktadır.

In the attempt to implement sustainable development, there is a definition that the use of natural source to keep it uses by the next generation well, both in quantity and quality. It needs to be supported by caring the environment both by the government and the community itself. The community awareness can be seen at its role on the management of domestic garbage. Several socio-economic factors such as age, sex, education, income, job, and the knowledge of environment have effect on community awareness in the management of domestic garbage. This study used logistic regression model which aimed at measuring to what extend the effect of the socio-economic factors to domestic garbage management in East Nusa Tenggara Province in 2013. It uses secondary data of Environmental Awareness Behaviour Survey that done in 2013 by the Central Agency on Statistics. The result of this study used α = 0,05, showed that the variable of sex, age group of  the head household among 40-59 years old and the knowledge of environment did not have effect on household garbage management behavioral. Level education of the patriarch and capital income affected positively on domestic garbage management behavioral. Variable of age group of the patriarch above 60 years old did negatively affected to the domestic garbage management behavioral. Although knowledge about the environment did not affect eco-friendly behavior, but the knowledge about the environment has to be continued to be disseminated to the public. Right knowledge about the behavior of environmental awareness is a major component of internal factors that can drive change one's attitude to be more concerned about the environment

Approaches to Set Rules for Trade in the Products of Agricultural Biotechnology. Is Harmonization under Trans-Pacific Partnership Possible?
Authors: Viju Crina , Kerr William A , Smyth Stuart
Published: May 2017

Given the absence of progress toward a multilateral agreement on trade liberalization in the WTO’s Doha Round, countries are attempting to gain the perceived gains from trade through the negotiation of preferential trade agreements. One of the most ambitious attempts to negotiate a preferential agreement is the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) which encompasses 12 countries across the Pacific including both the US and Japan. The TPP members account for approximately 40 % of global GDP. One of the most difficult issues in current international trade policy is the regulation of trade in the products of modern agricultural biotechnology. This question was on the negotiating agenda of the TPP. The objective of this paper is to lay out the major issues in the trade of products of modern agricultural biotechnology and examines the regulatory regimes for biotechnology in the 12 TPP countries. It finds that there is a significant divergence in the approaches to regulating genetically modified organisms (GMOs) across the TPP countries. As a result, the development of a harmonized regulatory regime to govern trade in GMOs was impossible directly in the TPP. A forum where the development of a harmonized system could potentially be undertaken was, however, agreed in the TPP.
Optimized Base Station Location Planning for Indoor Positioning in Visible Light Communication System
Authors: Le Zichun , Zeng Xianyu , Fu Minglei
Published: May 2017

Visible light communication (VLC) is an emerging optical communication technology, and indoor positioning of moving target devices is one of most important issues in the VLC system. In this study, we focused on LED base station location planning to improve the accuracy of the positioning method based on the received signal strength intensity (RSS) and the Kalman filter (KF). We developed a new base station location-planning scheme called equilateral triangle distribution. We proved theoretically that the equilateral triangle distribution scheme reduced the positioning error area when compared with the rectangular distribution scheme. The simulation results showed that the measuring error of the equilateral triangle distribution method using KF was less than 5 cm, even when the receiver was located at the boundary of the room. Our method verified that the VLC indoor positioning accuracy can be improved when LED base stations are distributed according to our equilateral triangle distribution scheme.

Volume Introduction: Gilbert Ryle on Propositions, Propositional Attitudes, and Theoretical Knowledge
Authors: Tanney Julia
Published: May 2017

In the introduction to the special volume, Gilbert Ryle: Intelligence, Practice and Skill, Julia Tanney introduces the contributions of Michael Kremer, Stina Bäckström and Martin Gustafsson, and Will Small, each of which indicates concern about the appropriation of Ryle’s distinction between knowing-how and knowing-that in seminal work in contemporary epistemology. Expressing agreement with the authors that something has gone awry in these borrowings from Ryle, Tanney takes this criticism to a deeper level. She argues that the very notion of content-bearing, causally-efficacious mental states, let alone representational states of knowledge-that or knowledge-how, embodies the very presuppositions that Ryle calls into question in his rejection of classical theories of meaning and his related warning of the type-errors involved in conflating rational and mechanistic explanation. That these mental posits are presupposed, unchallenged, in today’s debates make his arguments against intellectualism particularly difficult to discern.

Hydrocephalus is a common congenital anomaly. LCAM1 and MPDZ (MUPP1) are the only known human gene loci associated with non‐syndromic hydrocephalus. To investigate functions of the tight junction‐associated protein Mpdz, we generated mouse models. Global Mpdz gene deletion or conditional inactivation in Nestin‐positive cells led to formation of supratentorial hydrocephalus in the early postnatal period. Blood vessels, epithelial cells of the choroid plexus, and cilia on ependymal cells, which line the ventricular system, remained morphologically intact in Mpdz‐deficient brains. However, flow of cerebrospinal fluid through the cerebral aqueduct was blocked from postnatal day 3 onward. Silencing of Mpdz expression in cultured epithelial cells impaired barrier integrity, and loss of Mpdz in astrocytes increased RhoA activity. In Mpdz‐deficient mice, ependymal cells had morphologically normal tight junctions, but expression of the interacting planar cell polarity protein Pals1 was diminished and barrier integrity got progressively lost. Ependymal denudation was accompanied by reactive astrogliosis leading to aqueductal stenosis. This work provides a relevant hydrocephalus mouse model and demonstrates that Mpdz is essential to maintain integrity of the ependyma.
