Естественно градуированные алгебры Ли медленного роста
Authors: Millionshchikov Dmitry Vladimirovich
Published: May 2019

Про-нильпотентная алгебра Ли $\mathfrak g$ называется естественно градуированной, если она изоморфна своей ассоциированной градуированной алгебре Ли $\operatorname{gr} \mathfrak{g}$ относительно фильтрации идеалами нижнего центрального ряда. Конечномерные естественно градуированные алгебры Ли известны в субримановой геометрии и геометрической теории управления под названием алгебр Карно.
Мы классифицируем конечномерные и бесконечномерные естественно градуированные алгебры Ли
$\mathfrak g=\bigoplus_{i=1}^{+\infty}\mathfrak g_i$ со свойством
$$
\dim\mathfrak g_i+\dim\mathfrak g_{i+1} \leqslant 3, \qquad i \geqslant 1.
$$
Произвольная алгебра Ли $\mathfrak g=\bigoplus_{i=1}^{+\infty}\mathfrak g_i$ из этого класса порождена двумерным подпространством $\mathfrak g_1$, и для соответствующей функции роста $F_\mathfrak g^{\mathrm{gr}}(n)$ справедлива оценка $F_\mathfrak g^{\mathrm{gr}}(n) \leqslant 3n/2+1$.

A preliminary consequential evaluation of the roles of cultures in human rights debates
Authors: Chan Benedict Shing Bun
Published: May 2019

In the debates on the roles of cultures in the ethics of human rights, one of them concerns Confucianism and Ubuntu, two prominent cultures in East Asia and Southern Africa, respectively. Some scholars assert that both cultures have values that are sharply different from the West, and conclude that the West should learn from these cultures. The aim of this paper is to philosophically investigate the roles of cultures in the ethics of human  rights. I first introduce the works of Bell, Metz and others on community values such as relationships and harmony in Confucianism and Ubuntu. I then argue that even if their interpretations were correct, their works still would not justify the conclusion they want. I show that it is better to use consequential evaluation rather than cultural evaluation to justify human rights. An example of human rights to health and privacy is discussed. This paper thus offers some preliminary but important philosophical  investigations and addresses practical issues of consequential evaluation related to human rights.Keywords: Confucianism, Ubuntu, Cultural Evaluation, Consequential Evaluation, Human Rights, Health, Privacy
Embracing complexity: Co-creation with retired immigrant women
Authors: Fanjoy Martha , Bragg Bronwyn
Published: May 2019

This paper discusses a co-creation project carried out between a post-secondary, immigrant-serving agency and retired immigrant women. We posit that, by engaging with immigrant women in co-creation, we not only deepen our understanding of the challenges they face in retirement, but also generate valuable insights into the process of participatory design and collaboration; namely, the importance of recognizing complexity as a productive, rather than challenging, aspect of knowledge co-creation and collaboration. We show that, by intentionally embedding methods which address issues related to reflexivity, power and difference into the co-creative process, the challenges posed by complexity can by mitigated, leading to positive outcomes for all partners.

tobac v1.0: towards a flexible framework for tracking and analysis of clouds in diverse datasets
Authors: Heikenfeld Max , Marinescu Peter J. , Christensen Matthew , Watson-Parris Duncan , Senf Fabian , van den Heever Susan C. , Stier Philip
Published: May 2019

Abstract. We introduce tobac (Tracking and Object-Based Analysis of Clouds), a newly developed framework for tracking and analysing individual clouds in different types of datasets, such as cloud-resolving model simulations and geostationary satellite retrievals. The software has been designed to be used flexibly with any two- or three-dimensional time-varying input. The application of high-level data formats, such as iris cubes or xarray arrays, for input and output allows for convenient use of metadata in the tracking analysis and visualisation. Comprehensive analysis routines are provided to derive properties like cloud lifetimes or statistics of cloud properties along with tools to visualise the results in a convenient way. The application of tobac is presented in two examples. We first track and analyse scattered deep convective cells based on maximum vertical velocity and the three-dimensional condensate mixing ratio field in cloud-resolving model simulations. We also investigate the performance of the tracking algorithm for different choices of time resolution of the model output. In the second application, we show how the framework can be used to effectively combine information from two different types of datasets by simultaneously tracking convective clouds in model simulations and in geostationary satellite images based on outgoing longwave radiation. tobac provides a flexible new way to include the evolution of the characteristics of individual clouds in a range of important analyses like model intercomparison studies or model assessment based on observational data.

Os antibióticos podem ser compostos naturais ou sintéticos capazes de inibir o crescimento ou causar a morte de fungos ou bactérias. Além de fazerem parte dos grupos de medicamentos mais dispensados, estão também entre os fármacos que apresentam maior frequência de uso irracional no mundo. O presente trabalho aborda um estudo qualitativo e quantitativo, descritivo e de campo, que teve como objetivo realizar uma análise da dispensação de antibióticos beta-lactâmicos após a RDC 20/2011 em uma rede de farmácias do município de Ponta Grossa-PR, e identificar a percepção do cliente em relação à obrigatoriedade de prescrição para antibióticos. Foi realizado o levantamento da frequência de dispensação de antibióticos beta-lactâmicos no período referente a um ano antes e um ano depois de 16 de abril de 2013, data em que a Anvisa passou a exigir das farmácias e drogarias, a transmissão eletrônica de cada venda de antibiótico. No período anterior a referida data, somando-se as vendas de todas as filiais, foram dispensadas 1754 especialidades farmacêuticas contendo penicilinas, já no período posterior o total dispensado foi de 1000 unidades, o que representa uma redução de 42,98%. Os resultados encontrados neste trabalho demonstram uma significativa redução da venda de antibióticos da classe das penicilinas, e também uma redução no consumo desenfreado de antibióticos por parte da população estudada.
Unequal Impact of Conditional Conservatism on Components Accruals: Evidence from French Capital Market
Authors: Hmani Sihem
Published: May 2019

Applied to the French context, this study examines the unequal impact of conditional conservatism on accrual components. The study’s sample is an unbalanced panel of 331 French companies listed on Euronext Paris during the period time going from 2000 till 2015. First, this work aims at attributing empirical evidence to conditional conservatism using Basu (1997) and Khan and Watts (2009) models to detect this accounting practice. Then, it analyses differential implications of conditional conservatism on accrual components.Actually, French companies are known to be conservative firms as they implement conditional conservatism through an accrual component of earning, two accruals drivers (Revenue and receivables) and the non-discretionary accrual. According to Richardson, Sloan, Soliman & Tuna (2005), the working capital component is the preferred tool, among accrual components, for the transmission of conditional conservatism.

To build up a sustainable banking environment, technological implementation is crucial. As a part of this, modern banks propelled plastic money. In Bangladesh, customers’ perceptions about the plastic money are impressive. This is the necessity to the banks what factors influence customers positive view toward plastic money and whether they are facing any problems or not. To examine the customers’ perceptions towards plastic money is one of the main focuses of this research. About 200 responses were collected to conduct the study. A quantitative research design was adopted to perform the test of hypotheses. The survey results revealed that usage and financial benefits, convenience factors, and psychological factors positively influence customers’ attitude towards plastic money. Also, there are some problems identified by the respondents as customers.

Authors: Chelvam T. Tamizh , Rani I.
Published: May 2019

A Cayley graph is a graph constructed out of a group $ \Gamma $ and its generating set $ A $. In this paper we attempt to find dominating sets in Cayley graphs constructed out of $ Z_{n} $. Actually we find the value of domination number for $ Cay(Z_{n}, A) $ and a minimal dominating set when $ |A| $ is even and further we have proved that $ Cay(Z_{n}, A) $ is excellent. We have also shown that $ Cay(Z_{n}, A) $ is $ 2- $excellent, when $ n = t(|A|+1)+1 $ for some integer $ t, t>0 $.

Just excellence and very excellence in graphs with respect to strong domination
Authors: Harinarayanan C. V. R. , Ponnappan C. Y. , Subbiah S. P. , Sundareswaran R. , Swaminathan V.
Published: May 2019

A graph $ G $ is said to be excellent with respect to strong domination if each $ u\in V(G) $, belongs to some $ \gamma_s $-set of $G$. $ G $ is said to be just excellent with respect to strong domination if each $u\in V(G)$ is contained in a unique $\gamma_s$-set of $G$. A graph $ G $ which is excellent with respect to strong domination is said to be very excellent with respect to strong domination if there is a $ \gamma_s $-set $ D $ of $ G $ such that to each vertex $ u\in V-D $, there exists a vertex $ v\in D $ such that $ (D-\{v\})\cup\{u\} $ is a $ \gamma_s $-set of $ G $. In this paper we study these two classes of graphs. A strong very excellent graph is said to be rigid very excellent with respect to strong domination if the following condition is satisfied. Let $ D $ be a very excellent $ \gamma_s $-set of $ G $. To each $ u\not\in D $, let $ E(u, D)=\{v\in D: (D-\{v\})\cup\{u\} $ is a $ \gamma_s $-set of $ G\} $. If $ |E(u, D)|=1 $ for all $ u\not\in D $ then $ D $ is said to be a rigid very excellent $ \gamma_s $-set of $ G $. If $ G $ has at least one rigid very excellent $ \gamma_s $-set of $ G $ then $ G $ is said to be a rigid very excellent graph with respect to strong domination (or) a strong rigid very excellent graph. Some results regarding strong very excellent graphs are obtained.

Beyond The ‘Null Setting’
Authors: Gelfert Axel ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: May 2019

Epistemologists of testimony have tended to construct highly stylized (so-called “null setting”) examples in support of their respective philosophical positions, the paradigmatic case being the casual request for directions from a random stranger. The present paper analyzes the use of such examples in the early controversy between reductionists and anti-reductionists about testimonial justification. The controversy concerned, on the one hand, the source of whatever epistemic justification our testimony-based beliefs might have, and, on the other hand, the phenomenology of testimonial acceptance and rejection. As it turns out, appeal to “null setting” cases did not resolve, but instead deepened, the theoretical disputes between reductionists and anti-reductionists. This, it is suggested, is because interpreters ‘fill in’ missing details in ways that reflect their own peculiarities in perspective, experience, upbringing, and philosophical outlook. In response, two remedial strategies have been pursued in recent years: First, we could invert the usual strategy and turn to formal contexts, rather than informal settings, as the paradigmatic scenarios for any prospective epistemology of testimony. Second, instead of “null setting” scenarios, we can focus on richly described cases that either include, or are embedded into, sufficient contextual information to allow for educated judgments concerning the reliability and trustworthiness of the testimony and testifiers involved. The prospects of both of these approaches are then discussed and evaluated.
The Philosophical Status of “Metaphilosophy of Science”
Authors: Porus Vladimir N. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: May 2019

Interdisciplinary studies of science form a “living” organism, in which every part performs its function and is connected with other parts. Philosophy of science plays a role of the “think-tank” of that organism. It is a generator of the sense that connects the functions of its separate parts into a systematic unity. It can be called the consciousness of science. Metaphilosophy of science is related to philosophy of science in the same way as philosophy of science itself is related to science. Within metaphilosophy of science the propensity of philosophy of science to self-reflection is implemented. Metaphilosophy of science makes relevant the issues that relate to the philosophical significance of the processes taking place in the so-called “trading zone” (in the sense of P. Galison). These trading zone is a place where scientists, science-of-science theorists and philosophers exchange their ideas. The interaction between philosophy and metaphilosophy of science takes place in the course of a competition among various philosophical interpretations of the results received within the studies of these “trading” processes. Institutional, methodological, historical and culturological studies get a philosophical interpretation and become the source of metaphilosophical ideas. Metaphorically, one may say, that metaphilosophy of science is the self-consciousness of philosophy of science. The very idea that metaphilosophy of science is a participant of the process occurring in the “trading zone” puts an end to a meaningless pile of “metalevels” that very often characterize philosophical discussions of science.
The Question of Reflexivity
Authors: Jakešova Marketa ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: May 2019

This article aims to critically examine three approaches to reflexivity in philosophical texts, specifically the case when the textuality becomes its own topic. The first approach is when there is no reflexivity at all. It is just describing how – according to the author – things are. As an example of this approach I take German media philosophy. This tradition is specific because reflexivity is supposed to be its very topic. However, the media philosophers succeeded in touching the indefinability of mediality itself. Another method is to question one’s own and possibly also the reader’s position. I have chosen Annemarie Mol’s empirical philosophy as the example here. The problem is that despite following the “ontological turn”, the author remains (probably inevitably) also to a large extent trapped in the fact that he/she describes the world, that is, in subject/object dichotomy and therefore, in epistemology. The third way to write aims to make readers feel what the author tells. My example here is the varied work of Walter Benjamin whom I for the purpose of this article consider more as a prophet rather than the precise thinker who he (also) by all means was. While using the second approach myself, I discuss advantages and challenges of the three and find their points of touch.
On the Meaning of the Question “What Is Philosophy?”
Authors: Oizerman Teodor I. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: May 2019

Theodor Oizerman’s article “On The Meaning of the Question‘What is Philosophy?’” was first published in the journal “Voprosy filosofii”, 1968, vol. 11. Since that the issue has become a bibliographical rarity and still does not exist in a digital form. Other versions of the article were rewritten in the form of book chapters and transformed in the context of the current situation. This proposed publication bases on one of the older versions, which, is, on the one hand, close to the original author’s intention, and on the other hand, lacks a certain dependence on the ideological context. The text, however, includes some critically important arguments appearing only in later editions. In general, the article is of central significance in terms of its place in the Metaphilosophy concept proposed by Oizerman, which later the following books have manifested: “The Problem Of The History Of Philosophy”(1969, 1983), “The Foundations For The Theory Of The Historico-Philosophical Process” (1983, in co-authorship with A.S. Bogomolov), “Philosophy As A History Of Philosophy” (1999), “Ambivalence Of Philosophy” (2011); “Metaphilosophy: Theory Of The Historico-Philosophical Process” (2009). A number of references due to the difficulty of reading the archived article text have been omitted or taken from new editions. The text has been prepared and edited by Ilya T. Kasavin.

Published: May 2019

La investigación describe la evolución de Barcelona como destino turístico, presenta los impactos turísticos y examina los agentes urbanos que participan en el desarrollo territorial en el periodo 2005-2016. Como caso de estudio se analiza la actividad turística en el espacio productivo de dos barrios con tradición industrial: El Poblenou y Sants. La hipótesis de trabajo es que ha habido desconcentración de la oferta turística de la ciudad que ha llevado a tensiones y a una movilización social en barrios con poca tradición turística. La metodología se basa en datos estadísticos y en entrevistas.

This research aims to describe Barcelona's evolution as a tourist destination, analyse the impact of tourism on certain neighbourhoods and examine the sectors -administrative, social and economic- involved in urban development during the period 2005-2016. Used as case studies are two ex-industrial neighbourhoods: Poblenou and Sants. The working hypothesis: a decentralisation of tourism in Barcelona has led to social tension and community protests in neighbourhoods with little prior experience of tourism. The methodology is based on statistical data and in-depth interviews.

Based on an anthropological fieldwork research developed since September of the year 2015, we analyze the recent process of patrimonial and tourist activation of a new route of the roads to Santiago de Compostela, the tourist consumption of this route as an expression of new contemporary values, and the configuration of new post-secular tourist pilgrimage identities, that can not be classified or interpreted simplistically as religious tourism.
Maddikerne ud af lyrikken
Authors: Baunvig Katrine Frøkjær
Published: May 2019

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Hymns written by N.F.S. Grundtvig (1783-1872) are conspicuously lacking in worms and in the smell of death. This fact is particularly striking when Grundtvig’s texts are compared with the textual universe of Thomas Kingo (1634-1703). Grundtvig’s hymns conformed to contemporary trends: Just as Danish public authorities during the first three decades of the 19th century cleansed church buildings of decaing bodies and bones, Grundtvig carried out a similar cleansing of Danish church poetry. In order to capture these tendencies I have constructed the term ’de-tantrification’.

DANSK RESUME: I N.F.S. Grundtvigs (1783-1872) salmer er der en påfaldende mangel på orme og ligråd. Det bliver ikke mindst tydeligt i hans syn på og bearbejdelse af Thomas Kingos (1634-1703) lyrik. Grundtvigs salmedigtigning, som viste sig levedygtig dvs. populær, tilpassede sig ændringer i de renhedsforeskrifter, der styrede dødekulten i hans samtid: På samme måde, som man i de første årtier af 1800-tallet fjernede lig fra danske kirkebygninger og større byer, fjernede Grundtvig dem fra den mest slagkraftige religiøse lyrik, salmerne. Denne bevægelse kalder jeg i denne artikel for ’af-tantrificering’.
Speed, coordination and individualistic behaviors: a pilot NK modeling study to investigate the moderating effects of organizational structure on performance in individual firms
Authors: Pinto Cornejo Pablo E. , Montecinos Jorge G. , Hine Damian , Knights Peter , Valdebenito Pedrero Felipe
Published: May 2019

A central concern within the field of organizational design is the study of the relationship between structure, innovation and performance. The basic understanding is that decentralized structures appear best suited to promoting innovation and change. Yet this comes at the cost of efficiency. Conversely, organizations that centralize power in the hands of a few appear well-suited functionally to achieving high levels of efficiency, but at the cost of generating inertia. Taking both forms as polar types at the opposite ends of a continuum, the managerial question of how much of each form is necessary to create a good configuration to perform satisfactorily in the long term remains unknown. In this pilot study, we attempt to answer this question by using an NK model. Our results show that exploration is facilitated by higher levels of decentralization, where a structure that combines centralization and decentralization features delivers the highest long-term performance. We also find that complex organizational forms achieve low performance. This suggests that problems with coordination are costly to manage. Assumptions of game-theory are introduced to quantify the risks of decentralization.

Keywords: Organizational structure, NK Model, exploration and exploitation, firm performance.

Published: May 2019

In recent years, online markets have exploded as a meeting point for businesses and consumers. By studying the online tourist services market, the present study offers a model that explains the process of loyalty generation in online markets. The authors apply structural equation modeling to a sample of consumers of online tourist services. Through this analysis, service quality is shown to be an antecedent of both customer satisfaction and on-line loyalty. Furthermore, customer satisfaction and commitment are also found to be antecedents of online loyalty.
The Board of Directors and International Decision-making
Authors: Pérez-Calero Sánchez Leticia , Villegas Periñán Mª del Mar , Barroso Castro Carmen
Published: May 2019

This paper develops a view of how specific elements of the directors' human and social capital can enhance a company's international performance. We have taken the view that the board is an active participant in the firm’s management, and we have therefore set out and tested a number of arguments related to the board’s role in the adoption of international decisions. Specifically, our results point to the need to incorporate board members with high levels of education and international background with ability to learn and process information and to help international decision-making. As shown by our results, a high level of external connectivity of directors could have negative repercussions for internationalization since they limit the time spent on the board and therefore reduces the cohesion and trust inside the board. The implications of this research, therefore, are important for both executives and academics, as it helps to know what attributes contribute to the board’s effectiveness in such a way as to positively affect the internationalization of the firm.

Published: May 2019

Business women and their companies, powerful drivers of international economic development,
are characterised by certain idiosyncrasies. The present study aimed to analyse
the effect of financial support for female entrepreneurship on the number and characteristics
of such endeavours. Data for 2005-2012 drawn from the database of new company
projects financed by AVALMADRID SGR were analysed with univariate and bivariate
methods. The findings revealed differences between female and male entrepreneurship
and showed that women’s business activities are more intense when specific support is
available from financial institutions.

Work-family balance measures in companies and employees’ work satisfaction: the effect of work-family enrichment
Authors: Pérez-Pérez Manuela , Vela-Jimenez Mª José , Abella-Garcés Silvia , Martínez-Sánchez Ángel
Published: May 2019

This paper analyses the relationship between a group of different practices of work-family balance and the employees’ job satisfaction, as well as the relationship between job satisfaction and employee’s organizational commitment. We differentiate this relationship according to the level of work-family (W-F) enrichment and family-work (F-W) enrichment, as well as we analyze the role of work-family (W-F) and family-work (F-W) conflict.
We use a sample of 322 employees, and test the relationships with structural equations. The results show that a higher use of work-family practices has more beneficial effects on enrichment and conflict, and that both enrichment and conflict influence employees’ job satisfaction. However, higher levels of interference or stress at work make employees feel less satisfied at work.
The paper highlights the positive role of enrichment in order to improve employee’s job satisfaction as well as to increase his/her organizational commitment.

Keywords: work-family balance practices, conflict, enrichment, job satisfaction, organizational commitment.
Imperfect competition in the economic thought of italian corporatism and its influence in Spain
Authors: Pérez Calle Begoña , Malo Guillén José Luis
Published: May 2019

In Mussolini’s Italy, the concept of Corporate Economics was developed for Economics. The new science was to be reborn within the corporatist-fascist machine, and to do so it was necessary to rework both principles and tools. This paper tries to explain that the result was heterogeneous and the forms of study of Corporate Economics ranged from the links with Political Science to the more rigorous Mathematical Economics. In terms of imperfect competition there was a frequent rejection of the situation of private monopoly, understanding a world of monopolies as the ultimate consequence of free competition, but there were also other positions that admited it. We will try to show the debate by taking a comparative tour and classifying these positions from the theoretical and from the social-moral spheres. We will also seek to view how, from both areas, the link with the Spanish tradition is perfectly appreciated. We can observe this in the ways of understanding imperfect competition within the Spanish corporativist essay. Apart from thought and ideology, the most rigorous theoretical framework for economic science of the time was also of Italian influence.

Business models in the collaborative economy: summary and suggestions
Authors: Rodríguez Rocío , Svensson Goran , Pérez María del Mar
Published: May 2019

The economy has passed from a period of abundance, during which people had access to many goods and services to a situation where only through the act of “sharing” can they be enjoyed. This study sums up what this is and how the collaborative economy has evolved, promoting new lines of future research in a field that, as it is relatively new, still lacks consolidated scientific literature. To assess consumer perceptions, a quantitative population study was run on a sample of 370 consumers. The results obtained through a web questionnaire reveal generalised knowledge of what the collaborative economy is. However, they also reveal that although we consume collaboratively, in general, these same consumers are not promoters or “creators”, not embarking on collaborative initiatives. It was also found that traditional media are giving way to internet-based tools such as social networks, which are better adapted to the new collaborative business models.

Keywords: collaborative economy, collaborative consumption, business model, sharing, communication.
How not to Resist the Natural Kind Talk in Biology
Authors: Ferreira Ruiz María J.
Published: May 2019

Abstract: After the dawn of the traditional, essentialist view of natural kinds in contemporary philosophy (exacerbated in philosophy of biology by “population thinking”), non-essentialist cluster conceptions of natural kinds have been extensively supported and applied to numerous biological categories. However, salient philosophers have put forward two challenging arguments against cluster kind theories. I argue that, in both cases, discontent with a cluster conception of natural kinds is motivated by tacit and previous assumptions that can be challenged. I conclude that the concerns expressed in the objections do not make good reasons to resist natural kinds talk in biology unless one is willing to share such commitments and assumptions with respect to natural kinds. Ultimately, the discussion can be used to point out that our very expectations regarding natural kinds theories could use a rethink.

Synthesis, characterization, and biological evaluation of new spebrutinib analogues: potential candidates with enhanced activity and reduced toxicity profiles
Authors: Al-Obaidi Zaid M Jaber , Abdul-Rasheed Omar F , Mahdi Monther F , Raauf Ayad M R
Published: May 2019

Background: Cancer is regarded as an undoubtable major concern for both researchers and the general public because of its high mortality rates. While breast cancer has the highest incidence of malignancy globally, colon cancer also has high morbidity and mortality rates. Currently, researchers are working on designing, synthesizing, and biologically investigating the effects of some potential anticancer candidates.

Methods: The authors successfully synthesized and characterized two potential spebrutinib analogues. These analogues were evaluated with the employment of MCF-7, HCT116, and MDCK cell lines.

Results: With respect to the spebrutinib standard, one of these analogues had superior activity against the MCF-7 cell line (IC50; 10.744 µg/mL against 13.566 µg/mL for spebrutinib) and an enhanced toxicity profile on the MDCK cell line (IC50; 8.653 mg/mL against 4.011 mg/mL for spebrutinib).
Genetic diversity increases with depth in red gorgonian populations of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean

Published: May 2019

Background

In the ocean, the variability of environmental conditions found along depth gradients exposes populations to contrasting levels of perturbation, which can be reflected in the overall patterns of species genetic diversity. At shallow sites, resource availability may structure large, persistent and well-connected populations with higher levels of diversity. In contrast, the more extreme conditions, such as thermal stress during heat waves, can lead to population bottlenecks and genetic erosion, inverting the natural expectation. Here we examine how genetic diversity varies along depth for a long-lived, important ecosystem-structuring species, the red gorgonian,Paramuricea clavata.

Methods

We used five polymorphic microsatellite markers to infer differences in genetic diversity and differentiation, and to detect bottleneck signs between shallow and deeper populations across the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. We further explored the potential relationship between depth and environmental gradients (temperature, ocean currents, productivity and slope) on the observed patterns of diversity by means of generalized linear mixed models.

Results

An overall pattern of higher genetic diversity was found in the deeper sites of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. This pattern was largely explained by bottom temperatures, with a linear pattern of decreasing genetic diversity with increasing thermal stress. Genetic differentiation patterns showed higher gene flow within sites (i.e., shallow vs. deeper populations) than between sites. Recent genetic bottlenecks were found in two populations of shallow depths.

Discussion

Our results highlight the role of deep refugial populations safeguarding higher and unique genetic diversity for marine structuring species. Theoretical regression modelling demonstrated how thermal stress alone may reduce population sizes and diversity levels of shallow water populations. In fact, the examination of time series on a daily basis showed the upper water masses repeatedly reaching lethal temperatures forP. clavata. Differentiation patterns showed that the deep richer populations are isolated. Gene flow was also inferred across different depths; however, not in sufficient levels to offset the detrimental effects of surface environmental conditions on genetic diversity. The identification of deep isolated areas with high conservation value for the red gorgonian represents an important step in the face of ongoing and future climate changes.
We need to talk about reliability: making better use of test-retest studies for study design and interpretation
Authors: Matheson Granville J.
Published: May 2019

Neuroimaging, in addition to many other fields of clinical research, is both time-consuming and expensive, and recruitable patients can be scarce. These constraints limit the possibility of large-sample experimental designs, and often lead to statistically underpowered studies. This problem is exacerbated by the use of outcome measures whose accuracy is sometimes insufficient to answer the scientific questions posed. Reliability is usually assessed in validation studies using healthy participants, however these results are often not easily applicable to clinical studies examining different populations. I present a new method and tools for using summary statistics from previously published test-retest studies to approximate the reliability of outcomes in new samples. In this way, the feasibility of a new study can be assessed during planning stages, and before collecting any new data. An R package called relfeas also accompanies this article for performing these calculations. In summary, these methods and tools will allow researchers to avoid performing costly studies which are, by virtue of their design, unlikely to yield informative conclusions.

Cancer, Work, and the Quality of Working Life
Authors: Cox Tom , MacLennan Sara , N'Dow James
Published: May 2019

This chapter is concerned with the relationships among cancer survivorship, working life, and wellbeing. It presents a narrative review of the evidence published on this important subject within the framework of the person × environment model, exploring the Accommodation Adaptation Intervention Paradigm being developed by the authors through theMETISCollaboration in the United Kingdom. The focus is on the psychological, social, and organizational issues involved across the patient journey. The review suggests that there is still much to be understood about the successful maintenance of working life in those with cancer and about the respective roles of the key stakeholders, including employing organizations. However, there is much that can be achieved, based on the existing evidence, particularly in relation to the interactions among the stakeholders. Furthermore, what is being learnt here may logically be applied to managing other chronic conditions in relation to working life and wellbeing.
