TFII-I and AP2α Co-Occupy the Promoters of Key Regulatory Genes Associated with Craniofacial Development
Authors: Miranda Paige , Enkhmandakh Badam , Bayarsaihan Dashzeveg
Published: January 2017

Objectives:

The aim of this study is to define the candidate target genes for TFII-I and AP2α regulation in neural crest progenitor cells.

Design:

The GTF2I and GTF2IRD1 genes encoding the TFII-I family of transcription factors are prime candidates for the Williams-Beuren syndrome, a complex multisystem disorder characterized by craniofacial, skeletal, and neurocognitive deficiencies. AP2α, a product of the TFAP2A gene, is a master regulator of neural crest cell lineage. Mutations in TFAP2A cause branchio-oculo-facial syndrome characterized by dysmorphic facial features and orofacial clefts. In this study, we examined the genome-wide promoter occupancy of TFII-I and AP2α in neural crest progenitor cells derived from in vitro-differentiated human embryonic stem cells.

Results:

Our study revealed that TFII-I and AP2α co-occupy a selective set of genes that control the specification of neural crest cells.

Conclusions:

The data suggest that TFII-I and AP2α may coordinately control the expression of genes encoding chromatin-modifying proteins, epigenetic enzymes, transcription factors, and signaling proteins.

Introduction:

Many societies and organizations are using social media to reach their target audience. The extent to which parents of patients with craniofacial anomalies use social media has yet to be determined. The goal of this study is to characterize and describe the use of social media by the parents of children with cleft lip and palate as it pertains to the care of their child.

Materials and Methods:

Parents or guardian of all patients presenting for initial consultation regarding a child's congenital cleft anomaly were contacted by phone or mail to complete a survey regarding their use of social media vis-à-vis their child's cleft anomaly. Participants were asked to answer a 19-question survey.

Results:

Thirty-two families were contacted and 25 surveys were completed. Ninety-two percent of respondents used social media to learn about their child's diagnosis. Facebook (76%) and blogs (24%) were the most commonly accessed social media outlets, followed by Instagram (8%). Education about the diagnosis and treatment of cleft pathology (87%) was the most common reason for accessing social media, followed by companionship and support (56%), and advice about perioperative care (52%). Almost half (43%) of parents used social media to obtain information on their caregiver and treatment team, and 26% of parents used information gained on social media to guide their decision on where to seek care.

Conclusion:

Social media is a readily available resource, one that will certainly shape the experiences of our patients and families for years to come.

Published: January 2017

Iron deficiency anemia is common and consequential in nondialysis-dependent CKD (NDD-CKD). Efficacy and tolerability of conventional oral iron supplements are mixed; intravenous iron administration associates with finite but important risks. We conducted a randomized double-blind clinical trial in adults with NDD-CKD and iron deficiency anemia to compare the safety and efficacy of oral ferric citrate (n=117) and placebo (n=115). The primary end point was the proportion of patients who achieved a ≥1.0 g/dl increase in hemoglobin at any time during a 16-week randomized period. Patients who completed the 16-week period could also participate in an 8-week open-label extension period. Significantly more patients randomized to ferric citrate achieved the primary end point (61 [52.1%] versus 22 [19.1%] with placebo; P<0.001). All secondary end points reached statistical significance in the ferric citrate group, including the mean relative change in hemoglobin (0.84 g/dl; 95% confidence interval, 0.58 to 1.10 g/dl; P<0.001) and the proportion of patients who achieved a sustained increase in hemoglobin (≥0.75 g/dl over any 4-week period during the randomized trial; 57 [48.7%] versus 17 [14.8%] with placebo; P<0.001). Rates of serious adverse events were similar in the ferric citrate (12.0%) and placebo groups (11.2%). Gastrointestinal disorders were the most common adverse events, with diarrhea reported in 24 (20.5%) and 19 (16.4%) and constipation in 22 (18.8%) and 15 (12.9%) patients treated with ferric citrate and placebo, respectively. Overall, in patients with NDD-CKD, we found oral ferric citrate to be a safe and efficacious treatment for iron deficiency anemia.

Towards the development of a GHG emissions baseline for the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector, South Africa
Authors: Stevens L.B. , Henri J. , Van Nierop M. , Van Staden E. , Lodder J. , Piketh S.J.
Published: January 2017

South Africa is a signatory to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and as such is required to report on Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the Energy, Transport, Waste and the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sectors every two years in national inventories. The AFOLU sector is unique in that it comprises both sources and sinks for GHGs. Emissions from the AFOLU sector are estimated to contribute a quarter of the total global greenhouse gas emissions. GHG emissions sources from agriculture include enteric fermentation; manure management; manure deposits on pastures, and soil fertilization. Emissions sources from Forestry and Other Land Use (FOLU) include anthropogenic land use activities such as: management of croplands, forests and grasslands and changes in land use cover (the conversion of one land use to another). South Africa has improved the quantification of AFOLU emissions and the understanding of the dynamic relationship between sinks and sources over the past decade through projects such as the 2010 GHG Inventory, the Mitigation Potential Analysis (MPA), and the National Terrestrial Carbon Sinks Assessment (NTCSA). These projects highlight key mitigation opportunities in South Africa and discuss their potentials. The problem remains that South Africa does not have an emissions baseline for the AFOLU sector against which the mitigation potentials can be measured. The AFOLU sector as a result is often excluded from future emission projections, giving an incomplete picture of South Africa’s mitigation potential. The purpose of this project was to develop a robust GHG emissions baseline for the AFOLU sector which will enable South Africa to project emissions into the future and demonstrate its contribution towards the global goal of reducing emissions.
The health benefits of attaining and strengthening air quality standards in Cape Town
Authors: Keen S. , Altieri K.
Published: January 2017

The link between pollution and poor health and mortality has been established globally. Developing countries carry most of the burden of ill health from air pollution, and urban centres like the City of Cape Town even more so. Effective air quality management to protect human health relies on the attainment of air quality standards. This study uses the Benefits Mapping and Analysis Program (BenMAP) along with a locally derived exposure-response function and air quality monitor data to investigate whether the consistent attainment of current or more stringent air quality standards would avoid loss of life. The results show that attaining the PM10 24-hour mean South Africa National Standard limit and the PM10 and SO2 24-hour mean World Health Organisation guidelines in Cape Town reduces levels of pollutants and does reduce excess risk of mortality in Cape Town.

Pedagogical Functions of Sequences Organization of Talk in the EFL Classroom
Authors: Abhakorn Jirapa
Published: January 2017

Conversational sequences appear to be basically built around a basic pair of adjacent interactional actions; such as a question which makes an answer become relevant next. However, in contexts other than ordinary conversation, there are more complex features of sequential organization needed to be investigated especially those occurred in institutional contexts. This study applied CA to examine the interactional activities of teaching and learning in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom in Thailand. The results show that teaching and learning are not planned but contingent activities, and that the pedagogical goal of developing language knowledge is mutually achieved in a micro-context of interaction between the teacher and students mostly in a form of coherent successive and extended elicitation and response sequences rather than series of separated courses of random action sequences. Furthermore, detailed pedagogical implications which manifest itself in the developing of these sequences of talk are uncovered in a turn-by-turn basis. This empirical study provides evidence that inform the teaching practices about how classroom talk should be managed successively in order to achieve pedagogical effectiveness.
A Stylometric Analysis of Iranian Poets
Authors: Rezaei Sohrab , Kashanian Nasim
Published: January 2017

This paper presents an investigation into the extent to which the lexical choices made by different poets are distinctive. When a writer, writes, s/he makes lexical choices that make them different from other writers and the writing to some extent can be considered as their fingerprint or in the other word their signature. Authorship analysis by means of textual measurements has been the interest of so many linguists. Authors have their own styles and the stylometrist is interested in finding units which can distinct authors from each other. Statistical analysis has provided different tools for this attempt, by different scholars. Over the past 3 centuries many types of textual tools has been introduced to discriminate different authors objectively that developing in computer programing has played the important role for using these models. In this study by writing a computer program, the styles of different Iranian poets, Attar and Molavi, and Nezami, are investigated in terms of their word length and word richness. Result shows differences between their styles in terms of these parameters. This way of analyzing writing of different authors has some implications in different field of sociolinguistic and TOEFL.

Artesunate-tinospora combination treatment decreases nuclear factor kappa-B and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression in mouse malarial models
Authors: Izzati Nur , Fitri Loeki Enggar , Dalhar Mochammad
Published: January 2017

Background
Cerebral malaria is a severe form of malaria caused by brain ischemia. Artesunate, an artemisinin derivative, is the standard WHO therapy for severe malaria. Tinospora crispa (brotowali) is a traditional plant with antiinflammatory, antioxidant and antiparasitic properties. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of combinations of artesunate and T. crispa extract on nuclear factor kappa-B (NFêB) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression in the brain of mouse malaria models.

Methods
This was an experimental post-test only control group study using C57BL/6J mice infected with Plasmodium berghei, divided into 7 groups: negative control, positive control, group receiving artesunate 32 mg/kgBW, group receiving tinospora extract 3.5 mg/kgBW, and three groups receiving combinations of artesunate 32 mg/kgBW and tinospora extract 2.5 mg/kgBW, 3 mg/kgBW and 3.5 mg/BW, respectively. The expression of NFêB and ICAM-1 was measured by immunohistochemistry. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the data.

Results
NFkB and ICAM-1 expression increased significantly in the positive controls compared to all other groups (p=0.000). NFkB expression was significantly lower in the groups receiving artesunate and tinospora at 3 mg/kgBW and 3.5 mg/kgBW, as compared with the artesunate only group (p=0.003; p=0.005) and the tinospora extract only group (p=0.001; p=0.003). NFkB expression in all combination treatment groups was similar to that in the negative controls (p>0.05), whereas ICAM-1 expression did not differ between single and combination treatment groups (p>0.05).

Conclusion
The combination of artesunate and T. crispa extract is better in decreasing NFêB and ICAM-1 expression in the brain of mouse malaria models.
Past, present, and future of molecular oncology in India
Authors: Jain Mishti
Published: January 2017

Cancer has become an important public health issue in India as ICMR in its latest report on cancer status (summarized in Figure 1), has projected that the total number of new cases would be around 14.5 lakhs in 2016 and the figure is likely to reach 17.3 lakhs by the year 2020. Molecular oncology, a multidisciplinary specialty involving extensive use of genomics, computational biology, and tumor imaging, is the “backbone technology” for the management of the disease. In the modern day India, the growing significance of molecular genetics and cytogenetics in diagnosis as well as management of various cancers has also led to expansion of genetic diagnostic and counseling services. However, skewed geographical distribution, lack of awareness about the disease, symptoms, and diagnostic practices further augments the challenge of treating cancers in India. Lack of adequate infrastructure and absence of mass screening programs are key barriers to timely and accurate diagnosis in India. Key themes that may help in effective management of cancer include cost-effective, early diagnosis and screening; national planning based on robust and granular cancer registry; public-private partnerships to decentralize cancer care delivery and nurture centers of excellence.

It It is shown both theoretically and experimentally that if a cylindrical lens is placed into a laser beam, having an optical vortex with integer topological charge n and on-axis intensity null, then at the double focal distance behind the lens, the n-fold degenerate intensity null is split into n isolated intensity nulls. These intensity nulls lie on a straight line in the transverse plane at an angle of + 45 or – 45 degrees to the axis of the cylindrical lens, depending on the vortex helicity direction (i.e. sign of the topological charge). Experiments show that such a method can be used to determine higher-order topological charges up to n = 100.

Constructing FIR-filtres in a given parametrical class of frequency response for defocus correction
Authors:   Image Processing Systems Institute оf RAS – Branch of the FSRC “Crystallography and Photonics” RAS, Fursov V. ,   Samara National Research University
Published: January 2017

A problem of the restoration of defocused images is considered. For this purpose, we construct an FIR-filter by identifying the model from a special class of parameters with use of test images. The model of impulse response is defined in a class of univariate functions, which approximate the required frequency response in the radial direction. Samples of the two-dimensional impulse response are defined by discretization and the subsequent sample normalization. The approximation function class is defined so as to amplify low and suppress high spectrum frequencies. Important advantages of the method are high-quality image restoration and fast identification of filter's model due to the fact that the approximating function is determined by a small number of unknown parameters. In this article realization examples are given. These examples show the possibility of achieving the higher-quality restoration in comparison with the Wiener filter from the open-source image processing library OpenCV.

The Reception of British Painting at the Venice Biennali, 1895–1914
Authors: Tavinor Marie
Published: January 2017

The opening of the Venice Biennale in 1895 provided an unprecedented occasion to bring international art to the Italian public. It thus enabled intellectuals, art critics and the wider public to see and judge national productions side by side. This paper proposes to look at the way biases developed along with the Biennale – in relation to the peculiar political situation in Europe. By looking at articles written by leading Italian art critics on newspapers and magazines such as Emporium, Fanfulla della Domenica, Il Marzocco or Illustrazione italiana, the paper will show that art often served as a pretext for a political analysis which ultimately pointed to the rising conflict between the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente.
El derecho de reunión y manifestación en el nuevo marco regulatorio de la ley de protección de seguridad ciudadana lo 4/2015 de 30 de marzo
Authors: Massó Garrote Marcos Francisco
Published: January 2017

El presente trabajo de investigación tiene como objeto el estudio, incidencia y limitaciones que ha suscitado la reciente aprobación de Protección de Seguridad Ciudadana LO 4/2015 de 30 de marzo, en concreto en aquellas medidas que afectan al ejercicio del derecho fundamental de reunión y manifestación y a todo un modelo de Estado Social y Democrático de derecho que está siendo amenazada con la presente crisis económica y social. La realidad de esta norma surge en un contexto de evidentes tensiones sociales cuyo descontento social antes las crisis y los recortes sociales se está canalizando hacia las más variadas formas de protestas, lo que ha supuesto con esta reforma restringir uno de sus derechos más básicos como es el derecho a la manifestación. La aplicación de esta ley ha supuesto regular un conjunto de medidas que afectan a la dimensión constitucional de este derecho y especialmente de su contenido esencial, lo que se traduce a nuestro juicio desde el análisis más concreto de la doctrina del Tribunal constitucional como una intervención legislativa inconstitucional y en un coste antidemocrático para los ciudadanos en el ejercicio de sus derechos y libertades. A pesar de que la ley afecta a un gran contenido de medidas de seguridad ciudadana me centraré en este artículo en aquellas que afectan o inciden el ejercicio democrático del derecho fundamental de reunión y manifestación.

El derecho de acceso a la información pública en España y los Países Bajos. Dos escenarios mejorables
Authors: Sánchez de Diego Fernández de la Riva Manuel , Tejedor Fuentes Laura
Published: January 2017

Los Países Bajos cuentan con una ley de transparencia desde hace veinticinco años, España sólo desde hace tres. Con motivo del tercer aniversario, este artículo invita a reflexionar acerca de su implantación y las cuestiones a mejorar de ambas legislaciones, como la falta de vinculación a los derechos fundamentales, la ausencia de una mención a la transparencia en sus cartas magnas, los largos plazos de contestación o la ausencia de organismos de control efectivos. Así, desde un estudio comparativo de tipo cualitativo se pretende hacer una aportación constructiva, destacando la mejora en la posición de España según los criterios establecidos por la Alianza por el Gobierno Abierto pero incidiendo en la importancia de seguir progresando.
La «economía étnica» como motor para la integración económica, jurídica y socio-laboral del emprendedor inmigrante en España y en la Unión Europea

La iniciativa empresarial y económica de las personas extranjeras, a la que nos referiremos como «economía étnica» o ethnic business, constituye un componente de crecimiento muy relevante no sólo para nuestra nación, sino también para el conjunto de países europeos. Emerge como fuente de riqueza económica, puente hacia la movilidad social y el emprendedurismo; así como mecanismo eficaz para la lucha contra el estigma social y la trasformación de la imagen negativa y estereotipada en torno a la figura del inmigrante. Partiendo de esta premisa, el presente trabajo pretende mostrar y poner en valor la (hipotética) relación existente entre la Constitución económica, la normativa estatal en materia laboral y la adopción de políticas públicas eficaces, capaces de atraer y consolidar empresas de origen extranjero y con proyección de futuro en España y en la Unión Europea.

Procedural Justice and Employees’ Commitment to Supervisor in Nigerian Health Sector
Authors: Akoh Ajogwu , Amah Edwinah
Published: January 2017

In this research, we investigated the relationship between procedural justice and employees’ commitment to supervisor in Rivers State of Nigeria. A survey questionnaire was sent out to a sample size of 103 employees, resulting in 99 responses out of which 13 copies of the questionnaire were not statistically usable. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient was used for data analysis. This study found a significantly positive relationship between procedural justice and employees’ commitment to supervisor. We found that employees tend to easily identify with supervisors that implement fair procedures than those that do not and employees do study or evaluate their organizations’ justice climate to identify procedural injustice by comparing policies of different organizations. We concluded that fairness of procedures could reinforce a healthy justice climate and employees’ commitment to supervisor in turn. The justices of outcome and interaction depend mainly on the justice of procedures, as unjust procedures may not turn out a just outcome. We, therefore, recommended that organizations should commission enquiries into the justice climate of the industries they operate, ascertain the best practice, beat such a practice or at least align procedures, policies and programmes with the principles of fairness.

Published: January 2017

Jezička anksioznost je faktor koji je u velikoj meri prisutan pri svakom obliku učenja stranog jezika. Jedna od osnovnih komponenti jezičke anksioznosti u razrednoj situaciji je i anksioznost pri komunikaciji, problem koji se često javlja pri usmenoj produkciji jezika. Prema tome, ovaj rad se bavi istraživanjem problema opšte jezičke anksioznosti i anksioznosti pri komunikaciji u razrednoj situaciji među učenicima šestog razreda osnovne škole. Podaci prikupljeni pomoću upitnika skalera koji predstavlja prilagođenu verziju Skale za merenje jezičke anksioznosti u razrednoj situaciji, deskriptivno se analiziraju, a potom se ispituje uticaj dodatne izloženosti nastavi engleskog jezika na ove dve vrste anksioznosti. Dobijeni podaci govore u prilog tome da je nedovoljan broj časova engleskog jezika u okviru redovne nastave jedan od uzroka pojave opšte jezičke anksioznosti i anksioznosti pri komunikaciji među učenicima šestog razreda osnovne škole.
SINTAKSIČKA KOMPETENTNOST STUDENATA MATEMATIKE I PRIRODNIH NAUKA PRI PREVOĐENJU TEKSTOVA SA SRPSKOG NA ENGLESKI JEZIK
Authors: Vučen Nevena Ž.
Published: January 2017

U procesu prevođenja, studenti s niskim nivoom L2 znanja će vrlo verovatno naići na određene poteškoće. U radu se pokušavaju izdvojiti i analizirati neke od najčešćih grešaka od strane studenata matematike i prirodnih nauka koji uče ESP. Kako bismo unapriedili nastavu prevođenja, analizirali smo najčešće greške, te se ispostavilo da je, pored neadekvatnog odabira reči sintaksa najslabija tačka. Govoreći o tipologiji grešaka, ovaj rad se fokusira na greške iz oblasti sintakse, jer su one prisutne u velikoj meri, pri čemu se greške iz fonologije, semantike i leksike neće uzimati u obzir. Greške se tretiraju kao međujezičke pri čemu se analizira i uticaj maternjeg jezika. Prema tome, u radu se razmatra pitanje sintakse s ciljem da se pomogne studentima i da se poboljšaju časovi prevoda.

World Federation of Mental Health (WFMH) sebagai bagian dari World Health Organization (WHO) menyatakan bahwa masalah kesehatan mental tidak lagi dilihat secara individual, namun harus diintervensi dalam skala makro/sistem. Oleh karena itu, pengetahuan praktis mengenai kesehatan mental selayaknya juga dipahami oleh masyarakat. Partisipan dalam penelitian aksi ini adalah masyarakat Pedukuhan X di Kecamatan Moyudan, Sleman, D.I. Yogyakarta. Tujuan penelitian aksi ini adalah membentuk komunitas masyarakat sehat jiwa dan hati (SEHATI) yang bisa mendeteksi gejala awal masalah kejiwaan dan dapat segera melaporkannya kepada profesional kesehatan mental di Puskesmas. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan adalah penelitian tindakan dengan melibatkan keluarga pasien dan perangkat pedukuhan (tokoh masyarakat dan pengelola pendidikan). Intervensi dilakukan dengan teknik psikoedukasi yang dibagi dalam tiga materi untuk tiga kelompok berbeda. Hasil utama Penelitian aksi ini adalah pembentukan kader kesehatan mental yang bertugas membantu profesional kesehatan mental di Puskesmas. Oleh karena itu, perlu diadakan pelatihan rutin untuk meningkatkan kemampuan kader kesehatan mental.
The Legalization through Judicial Ways of the Consumption of the Personal Drug Dose: Is It a Challenge to the Democratic System in Latin America?
Authors: Lopez Daza German Alfonso , Gomez Garcia Carlos Fernando
Published: January 2017

The drug use has been treated in most of the world from a democratic aspect, having as a challenge the participation of citizens in making decisions or the contemplation of this topic by the current legislation. But Colombia has been the exception due to the permissiveness and restriction of the drug use that has been developed through the judicial channel. The Constitutional Court, on the occasion of its statements, is the one that has changed the treatment about the use and the ones who use it.
Evaluating nicotine dependence levels in e-cigarette users
Authors: González Roz Alba , Secades Villa Roberto , Weidberg Sara
Published: January 2017

Despite the fact that electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are rapidly growing in popularity and use worldwide, there is scarce scientific data on abuse liability among e-cigarette users, and about whether e-cigarette use is related to nicotine dependence or not. The aim of this study is to explore nicotine dependence levels in a sample of experienced e-cigarette users (n= 39) and to compare them with current tobacco cigarette smokers (n=42). We conducted several face-to-face interviews in order to assess sociodemographic and dependence related characteristics in both e-cigarette users and in smokers. Adapted versions of both the Fagerström test for nicotine dependence (FTND) and the nicotine dependence syndrome scale (NDSS) were used to analyze nicotine dependence in each of the groups. Biochemical markers of carbon monoxide and urinary cotinine analysis were also collected. Results showed that e-cigarette users scored lower than cigarette smokers in both FTND and all NDSS subscales. Our findings extend previous research on e-cigarette use and nicotine addiction and suggest that e-cigarette users are less dependent on nicotine than current tobacco cigarette smokers. Further prospective studies are needed to better ascertain their addictiveness potential, comparing those smokers who switched to e-cigarettes from smoking cigarettes, and those who had never been tobacco cigarette smokers.
Consumo intensivo de alcohol en adolescentes: prevalencia, conductas de riesgo y variables asociadas
Authors: Golpe Sandra , Isorna Manuel , Barreiro Carmen , Braña Teresa , Rial Antonio
Published: January 2017

Según la última Encuesta sobre uso de drogas en Enseñanzas Secundarias (ESTUDES 2014-2015), los niveles de consumo tanto de alcohol como de otras sustancias han disminuido en España en los últimos años. No obstante, siguen siendo preocupantes los datos referidos al consumo intensivo de alcohol (CIA), sobre todo habida cuenta las graves repercusiones asociadas a este patrón. El objetivo del presente trabajo ha sido analizar el consumo intensivo de alcohol entre los adolescentes, ofreciendo datos actualizados no sólo de su prevalencia, sino también de sus consecuencias y posibles factores de pronóstico. Para ello se utilizó una metodología correlacional, consistente en la realización de una encuesta a estudiantes de ESO, Bachillerato y FP de grado medio. La muestra final estuvo compuesta por 3.419 adolescentes gallegos de entre 12 y 18 años (M = 14,57; SD = 1,76). Los resultados obtenidos revelan que el CIA es una práctica frecuente y globalizada, con escasas diferencias a nivel sociodemográfico, pero asociada a un amplio abanico de conductas de riesgo. Por otra parte, variables como las expectativas de consumo, el consumo entre los pares y en el entorno familiar, así como la hora de llegada a casa o el dinero disponible han sido identificadas como interesantes factores de pronóstico que debieran ser tenidos en cuenta en el plano preventivo.
The Implementation of Green Infrastructure: Relating a General Concept to Context and Site
Authors: Lindholm Gunilla
Published: January 2017

In the quest for more sustainable urban landscape development, the concept of ‘green infrastructure’ (GI) has become central in policy documents and as a multifunctional general planning tool. GI is not however a simple and unambiguous solution. While there in policy documents are claims for more and connected GI, actual urban development takes another direction. The densifying imperative is hard to combine with an increased and more connected GI. This paper argues for a critical and diversified approach to the concept of GI, to facilitate its implementation in urban planning and management. While GI most often is seen as a common asset and a public good, the actual land use negotiations and management responsibilities cannot be limited to a public service discourse, but should address more clearly a variety of actors. Linguistic as well as spatial definitions of the two relevant dichotomies of ‘green-grey’ and ‘public-private’ are crucial in GI location, design, construction and management, it is argued. Overarching representations of GI will be needed, but also – and linked to it – a spatial storm water plan and an overall plan for public space. The development over time will need an intersectorial implementation and management program. Thus some of the GI intentions may be implemented in planning processes, some through reorganisation and redesign of public space, and some by agreements with landowners.
