Background/Aim. Stem cells (SCs) guarantee complete/longterm bone marrow (BM) repopulation after SC-transplants. The aim of the study was to evaluate absolute count of total SCs (determined by ISHAGE-sequential-gating protocol ? SCish) and relative frequency of immature CD34+/CD90+ (CD90+SCish) subset in peripheral blood (PB) as predictive factors of mobilization and apheresis product (AP) quality. Methods. Mobilization included chemotherapy and granulocytegrowth- factor (G-CSF). Harvesting was performed by Spectra- Optia-IDL-system. The SCsish were determined as a constitutional part of CD34+ cells in the ?stem-cell-region? using FC- 500 flow-cytometer. In this study, the original ISHAGEsequential- gating protocol was modified by introduction of anti-CD90-PE monoclonal-antibody into the analysis of CD90 expression on SCish (CD90+SCish). The results were presented as a percentage of SCish per nucleated-cell count, absolute SCish count in ?L of the PB or the AP, percentage of the CD90+SCish expressed to SCish and absolute CD90+SCish count in ?L of the PB or the AP. Results. The absolute count of total SCish and CD90+SCish was significantly higher (p = 0.0007 and p = 0.0266, respectively) in the AP than in the PB samples. The CD90+SCish/total SCish indexes from PB were higher than indexes from the AP (p = 0.039). The relative frequency of CD90+SCish showed a highly significant inverse correlation with the absolute count of total SCish in both, the PB and AP (p = 0.0003 and p = 0.0013 respectively). The relative frequency of CD90+SCish from the PB also showed a significant (p = 0.0002) inverse relationship with total SCish count in the AP. Patients with less than 10% CD90+SCish in the PB had evidently higher (p = 0.0025) total SCish count in the AP. Conclusion. We speculate that lower CD90+SCish yield in the AP is not a consequence of an inferior collection efficacy, but most likely a result of several still not fully resolved immature SC cytomorphological/ biophysical features. Therefore, following the mobilization by chemotherapy G-CSF, some logical questions appear ? whether we should follow the absolute count of total SCish, or, whether we should test for relative frequency of CD90+SCish prior to harvesting. To reach the final conclusions, it is essential to conduct further controlled and larger investigations concerning the correlation of circulating and harvested SCs with patients' hematopoietic recovery.

We used mice lacking Abcc8, a key component of the β-cell KATP-channel, to analyze the effects of a sustained elevation in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) on β-cell identity and gene expression. Lineage tracing analysis revealed the conversion of β-cells lacking Abcc8 into pancreatic polypeptide cells but not to α- or δ-cells. RNA-sequencing analysis of FACS-purified Abcc8−/− β-cells confirmed an increase in Ppy gene expression and revealed altered expression of more than 4,200 genes, many of which are involved in Ca2+ signaling, the maintenance of β-cell identity, and cell adhesion. The expression of S100a6 and S100a4, two highly upregulated genes, is closely correlated with membrane depolarization, suggesting their use as markers for an increase in [Ca2+]i. Moreover, a bioinformatics analysis predicts that many of the dysregulated genes are regulated by common transcription factors, one of which, Ascl1, was confirmed to be directly controlled by Ca2+ influx in β-cells. Interestingly, among the upregulated genes is Aldh1a3, a putative marker of β-cell dedifferentiation, and other genes associated with β-cell failure. Taken together, our results suggest that chronically elevated β-cell [Ca2+]i in Abcc8−/− islets contributes to the alteration of β-cell identity, islet cell numbers and morphology, and gene expression by disrupting a network of Ca2+-regulated genes.
Risk of Severe Hypoglycemia in Type 1 Diabetes Over 30 Years of Follow-up in the DCCT/EDIC Study

Published: May 2017

OBJECTIVE

During the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), intensive diabetes therapy achieving a mean HbA1c of ∼7% was associated with a threefold increase in the rate of severe hypoglycemia (defined as requiring assistance) compared with conventional diabetes therapy with a mean HbA1c of 9% (61.2 vs. 18.7 per 100 patient-years). After ∼30 years of follow-up, we investigated the rates of severe hypoglycemia in the DCCT/Epidemiology of Diabetes Inverventions and Complications (EDIC) cohort.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Rates of severe hypoglycemia were reported quarterly during DCCT and annually during EDIC (i.e., patient recall of episodes in the preceding 3 months). Risk factors influencing the rate of severe hypoglycemia over time were investigated.

RESULTS

One-half of the DCCT/EDIC cohort reported episodes of severe hypoglycemia. During EDIC, rates of severe hypoglycemia fell in the former DCCT intensive treatment group but rose in the former conventional treatment group, resulting in similar rates (40.8 vs. 36.6 episodes per 100 patient-years, respectively) with a relative risk of 1.12 (95% CI 0.91–1.37). A preceding episode of severe hypoglycemia was the most powerful predictor of subsequent episodes. Entry into the DCCT study as an adolescent was associated with an increased risk of severe hypoglycemia, whereas insulin pump use was associated with a lower risk. Severe hypoglycemia rates increased with lower HbA1c similarly among participants in both treatment groups.

CONCLUSIONS

Rates of severe hypoglycemia have equilibrated over time between the two DCCT/EDIC treatment groups in association with advancing duration of diabetes and similar HbA1c levels. Severe hypoglycemia persists and remains a challenge for patients with type 1 diabetes across their life span.

OBJECTIVE

Antihyperglycemic agents, such as empagliflozin, stimulate proximal tubular natriuresis and improve cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes. Because dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are used in combination with sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, we examined whether and how sitagliptin modulates fractional sodium excretion and renal and systemic hemodynamic function.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We studied 32 patients with type 2 diabetes in a prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Measurements of renal tubular function and renal and systemic hemodynamics were obtained at baseline, then hourly after one dose of sitagliptin or placebo, and repeated at 1 month. Fractional excretion of sodium and lithium and renal hemodynamic function were measured during clamped euglycemia. Systemic hemodynamics were measured using noninvasive cardiac output monitoring, and plasma levels of intact versus cleaved stromal cell–derived factor (SDF)-1α were quantified using immunoaffinity and tandem mass spectrometry.

RESULTS

Sitagliptin did not change fractional lithium excretion but significantly increased total fractional sodium excretion (1.32 ± 0.5 to 1.80 ± 0.01% vs. 2.15 ± 0.6 vs. 2.02 ± 1.0%, P = 0.012) compared with placebo after 1 month of treatment. Moreover, sitagliptin robustly increased intact plasma SDF-1α1-67 and decreased truncated plasma SDF-1α3-67. Renal hemodynamic function, systemic blood pressure, cardiac output, stroke volume, and total peripheral resistance were not adversely affected by sitagliptin.

CONCLUSIONS

DPP-4 inhibition promotes a distal tubular natriuresis in conjunction with increased levels of intact SDF-1α1-67. Because of the distal location of the natriuretic effect, DPP-4 inhibition does not affect tubuloglomerular feedback or impair renal hemodynamic function, findings relevant to using DPP-4 inhibitors for treating type 2 diabetes.

OBJECTIVE To develop and evaluate a pyramid training method for teaching techniques for collection of diagnostic samples from swine.

DESIGN Experimental trial.

SAMPLE 45 veterinary students.

PROCEDURES Participants went through a preinstruction assessment to determine their familiarity with the equipment needed and techniques used to collect samples of blood, nasal secretions, feces, and oral fluid from pigs. Participants were then shown a series of videos illustrating the correct equipment and techniques for collecting samples and were provided hands-on pyramid-based instruction wherein a single swine veterinarian trained 2 or 3 participants on each of the techniques and each of those participants, in turn, trained additional participants. Additional assessments were performed after the instruction was completed.

RESULTS Following the instruction phase, percentages of participants able to collect adequate samples of blood, nasal secretions, feces, and oral fluid increased, as did scores on a written quiz assessing participants' ability to identify the correct equipment, positioning, and procedures for collection of samples.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results suggested that the pyramid training method may be a feasible way to rapidly increase diagnostic sampling capacity during an emergency veterinary response to a swine disease outbreak.

Perkembangan kualitas pendidikan menengah SMA, SMK, MA belum menunjukkan kemajuan signi kan. Kondisi tersebut banyak disebabkan selain jumlah guru yang kompeten terbatas, anggaran minim, terbatasnya kemampuan sekolah melakukan komunikasi intensif memperkenalkan potensi dan prestasi sekolah ke public. Sekolah Menengah di Indonesia belum banyak melakukan terobosan komunikasi melalui Public Relations (PR) dengan baik. Institusi pendidikan menengah khususnya swasta lebih sibuk melakukan promosi mendapatkan murid, melalui propaganda iklan dan memanipulasi fakta. Sementara sekolah negeri lebih fokus pada peningkatan kemampuan akademik murid, memaksa murid mengikuti kelas tambahan untuk meraih prestise agar lulusan bisa diterima di PTN. Pendidikan menengah negeri maupun swasta belum menyadari PR mempunyai peran penting bagi pengembangan dan keberlanjutan sekolah. Grunig menggagas tentang Public Relations Model for Reputation Building, bahwa keberhasilan institusi dalam membangun reputasi ditentukan pada kemampuan melaksanakan kegiatan komunikasi bersifat two way simetrical model dengan menekankan pada komunikasi interaktif tinggi organisasi dengan publiknya, serta pesan disampaikan didasarkan pada fakta empiris.

Berdasar survei pendahuluan ditemukan bahwa penggunaan informasi siaran pers oleh jurnalis bervariasi

(2%-100%). Humas (Public Relation/PR) menjalin kedekatan dengan jurnalis untuk memaksimalkan distribusi informasi, tetapi jurnalis terikat dengan kode etik yang mengatur pekerjaannya. Penelitian ini ingin menjawab strategi apa yang bisa dilakukan PR untuk memaksimalkan publikasi informasi tanpa menyalahi aturan.

Berdasar pengujian implementasi teori Planned Behaviour karya Icek Ajzen ditemukan bahwa, sikap terhadap kualitas siaran pers berpengaruh kuat terhadap niat penggunaan siaran pers, dan akhirnya ikut mempengaruhi perilaku penggunaan siaran pers. Untuk memaksimalkan publikasi, PR dituntut untuk melihat kualitas siaran pers dari perspektif jurnalis.

Survei Perkumpulan Keluarga Berencana Indonesia (PKBI) tahun 2015 tentang perilaku seks pranikah di kalangan

remaja menunjukkan, 30 persen responden telah melakukan hubungan seksual sampai tahap penetrasi. Kenyataan

akan perkembangan perilaku seks pranikah ini membentuk sikap permisif yakni sikap positif terhadap perilaku

seks pranikah. Fokus penelitian adalah disonansi kognitif pada sikap permisif terkait perilaku seks pranikah di

kalangan remaja. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah Interpretative Phenomenological Analyses (IPA) atau

Analisis Fenomenologis Interpretatif. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan, pada informan yang tidak mengalami

disonansi maka proses komunikasi berbentuk tindakan untuk tidak melakukan perubahan apapun pada salah satu

elemen disonansi, seperti merubah keyakinan/kepercayaan atau merubah tindakan; tidak menambahkan elemen

kognitif konsonan baru dalam hal ini termasuk upaya secara aktif untuk mencari informasi lain yang mendukung

keyakinan yang dimiliki. Pada informan yang mengalami disonansi, dalam upaya mencapai konsistensi kognitif

maka individu akan mencari informasi lain yang dapat mendukung tindakannya untuk menjauhi perilaku seks

pranikah.
MEDIA BARU, VISI KHALAYAK AKTIF DAN URGENSI LITERASI MEDIA
Authors: Rianto Puji
Published: May 2017

Kajian ini didasarkan pada argumentasi khalayak media baru pada dasarnya merefleksikan visi paling radikal uses

and gratifications. Dalam visi baru ini, audiens benar-benar terlibat secara aktif dalam mencari informasi. Pada

satu sisi, hal ini memberikan harapan baru bagi partisipasi khalayak dalam proses komunikasi, sekaligus membuka

kesempatan yang lebih luas bagi partisipasi warga negara dalam kehidupan publik. Namun, di sisi lain, hal itu juga

mengandung persoalan. Dalam banyak kasus, khalayak lebih mencari informasi yang meneguhkan keyakinannya

atau pilihan-pilihan sikap yang sebelumnya telah diambil. Akibatnya, individu cenderung tenggelam ke dalam

‘kesesatan’ sikap dan keyakinan yang dipilihnya. Studi ini meneguhkan hal itu. Melalui partisipasi observasi,

studi ini menemukan bahwa individu-individu terlibat aktif dalam mencari dan berbagi informasi dalam suatu

kelompok percakapan yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan, nilai, dan keyakinan mereka. Sayangnya, hal itu tidak

disertai dengan sifat kritis yang cukup atas sumber-sumber informasi yang mereka akses sehingga menciptakan

suatu pandangan yang bias dan menyesatkan. Dalam situasi semacam itu, suatu digital literasi mutlak diperlukan

agar media baru benar-benar memberikan manfaat bagi khalayak, dan bukannya sebaliknya.

Iklim demokratisasi pascareformasi tahun 1998 kian menabalkan pers Indonesia pada posisi dan peran

yang penting. Dalam posisi ini, kedudukan dan peran wartawan sebagai ujung tombak pers menjadi sangat

menentukan. Wartawan dituntut mampu menghasilkan produk-produk jurnalistik yang menjadi katarsis

informasi bagi masyarakat luas. Untuk itu optimalisasi penerapan standar kompetensi wartawan tak terelakkan.

Hal ini sangat urgen untuk memandu para wartawan Indonesia dalam bekerja secara profesional baik menyangkut

kompetensi kesadaran, kompetensi pengetahuan maupun kompetensi keterampilan. Optimalisasi penerapan

standar kompetensi wartawan di Indonesia dapat ditempuh melalui: (1) optimalisasi pelatihan/kursus/workshop/

studi banding, (2) optimalisasi monitoring dan evaluasi (Monev), (3) optimalisasi pemberian penghargaan, (4)

optimalisasi penerapan sanksi secara obyektif, selektif, bertahap, adil, prosedural dan edukatif, (5) optimalisasi

kesejahteraan wartawan, (6) optimalisasi advokasi wartawan, (7) optimalisasi uji kompetensi wartawan

Media Propaganda Techniques in the South China Sea Dispute
Authors: Bensa Cheryl Pricilla , Wijaya Lupita
Published: May 2017

Bilateral relationship between Indonesia and China which is a pivotal pathway to Global Maritime Axis’s foreign policy has been relentlessly addressed by President JokoWidodo since his early administration in 2014. However, Indonesia is aware that China’s claim of nine-dashed line (9DL) has overlapped with Indonesia’s sovereignty area, Natuna water. This territory dispute has pushed Indonesian government to take a decisive action by sending a verbal note protest to the Chinese embassy in Indonesia. In the perspective of international communication, this action has scrutinized the interdependence between media systems and political systems as a form of a symbiosis connecting and creating perceptions on the issue. Propaganda techniques of mass media, such as inter alia, name-calling, glittering generality, transfer, plain folks, testimonial, selection, bandwagon, and frustration of scapegoat, might create certain perceptions. This study maps the propaganda techniques by Indonesian high-circulated newspaper Kompas and China’s state-run media Xinhua news agency. This study applies quantitative content analysis method in the period of May 30 to July 30, 2016.
Market Typology, Concentration, and Competition of National Media Conglomerate in Indonesia
Authors: Nainggolan Bestian
Published: May 2017

The economic practices of media industry in Indonesia are inseparable from the pattern of oligopolistic market competition and control. This trend is seen from further centralized market control of media, particularly advertising media in a number of media corporate groups. Media corporate groups apply practices of conglomeration in market control with horizontal, vertical, or diagonal integrated strategy. Criticism on these practices is often expressed, but there is no assessment based on the empirical evidence on the business behavior of media conglomeration. This paper explores the characteristics of media conglomerate by reconstructing the typology of media conglomeration introduced by Richard Bounce: Concentric Conglomerates and Diversified Conglomerates, and three models by Graham Murdock: Industrial Conglomerates, Services Conglomerates and Communications Conglomerates. Six typology models of conglomerate are formed, namely (1) Industrial-Concentric; (2) Industrial-Diversified; (3) Services-Concentric; (4) Services-Diversified; (5) Communications-Concentric; (6) Communications-Diversified. The economic performance of each conglomerate group regarding market concentration and market competition in constructing the market structure of media industry is studied based on the typologies. The study finds a new typology model of media conglomerate and manages to prove that national media conglomerate still dominates the media market in Indonesia.

This research has put forward a Flip and Switch concept as a mark for exchanging a quality and character position in a film by analyzing with a semiotic rectangle methodology (the Greimas’Rectangle). There are two Flips and two Switches in the film “Cahaya Dari Timur: Beta Maluku” as the findings of the research, marking a change of the view point and narrative pattern that will be conveyed by the film against the hope of story plot from the spectators’ mind. By taking criterion which makes this film to become a cult film, the research findings have overlapped peculiar scenes leading to the cult film to be.  There will be phenomena criteria formed that can be able to bring them (peculiar scenes) up. But today, the film of Cahaya Dari Timur: Beta Maluku is not a cult film. As we know that Cahaya Dari Timur: Beta Maluku, began with an idea of non-anti minority which is the complement of anti- minority issue. These findings have marked that this film is not about a minority but it is about what is being born after a minority conflict has been completed.

Fashion is a part of people's lifestyle, especially teenagers. Their needs in seeking for an identity and being recognized make them pay more attentions to every thing that are booming in their circles. Local trend can be spread quickly to the entire world because of the improvement of mass media’s effect. Through Korean drama, people of Indonesia got enough details about Korean fashion, called K-Style. K-Style surprisingly attracted the teen audience and motivated them to imitate those styles. Peer Group Interactions also take an important role in K-Style imitation behavior. Necessities for being praised and accepted made their personality became capricious and emotionally unstable. For that reason, this study aims to analyze the influence of intensity of Korean drama program in television and Peer Group Interactions to K-Style imitation behavior among teenagers.
LA RECEPCIÓN DEL POSITIVISMO Y DEL EVOLUCIONISMO EN ESPAÑA Y “EL PROBLEMA DE LA MUJER”

Resumen“La cuestión de la mujer” toma mayor relevancia tras la recepción del positivismo y el evolucionismo en las ciencias médicas y biológicas españolas, sobre todo a finales del Siglo XIX y los inicios del Siglo XX. La finalidad de estas teorías, en un contexto donde la ciencia gozaba de gran autoridad, era justificar la inferioridad mental y biológica de las mujeres. El presente artículo trata de mostrar las consideraciones de los médicos españoles acerca de la naturaleza inferior femenina, tras la influencia de los científicos europeos, y de mostrar, a su vez, las voces disidentes de las pensadoras que se opusieron a las mismas.Palabras clave: Ciencia, Positivismo, Inferioridad, Mujer y Feminismo. English title: The Reception of Positivism and Evolutionism in Spain and “The Woman Question”Abstract: ‘The Woman Question’ acquires major significance in the wake of the influence of positivism and evolutionism on Spanish medical and biological sciences, particularly in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. In the context of the overriding authority of science, the objective of these theories was to justify a biological and mental inferiority of women. This paper will attempt to show the mindset of the Spanish scientists who, influenced by European theories, viewed women’s nature as inferior. It will also reflect on the dissenting voices of thinkers who took an opposite view on the same subject.Keywords: Science, Positivism, Inferiority, Women and Feminism.

Response to Jodi Melamed, "Proceduralism, Predisposing, Poesis: Forms of Institutionality, In the Making," published in Lateral 5.1. Tabares invites us to question the role of what he calls 'para-institutions,' such as corporations, in shaping and influencing the logics and investments within the university. As a counterpoint to these processes, he ponders the possibilities of seizing upon the elements of proceduralism in mobilizing forms of collectivity that can span across institutional contexts outside the academy.

Published: May 2017

Purpose: This article reports on a national stakeholder workshop that focused on advancing pain education in physiotherapy programmes across Canada. Methods: Workshop participants included national leaders from the following stakeholder groups: people living with pain; physiotherapy students and recent graduates; pain educators; physiotherapy programme administrators; and representatives from the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators, Physiotherapy Education Accreditation Canada, Canadian Physiotherapy Association, and Physiotherapy Practice Profile project. During the workshop, barriers to, facilitators of, and strategies for advancing pain education were discussed, and a stakeholder-endorsed consensus statement was generated. The workshop was recorded, and data were thematically analyzed. Results: Participants identified important barriers and facilitators associated with the field of pain, standards and regulatory processes, physiotherapy programmes, and physiotherapy students and people living with pain. Strategies for advancing pain education included integrating pain competencies into standards and regulatory policy, encouraging the development of best teaching practices, partnering with people living with pain, building awareness, and setting goals and assessing clear outcomes. The consensus statement highlighted the central importance of pain education for physiotherapists and the need for a reference standard to guide its implementation in the Canadian context. Conclusion: This was the first initiative to specifically explore national stakeholders' perceptions of pain education. The workshop outcomes provide a strong mandate and direction for advancing pain education across Canadian physiotherapy programmes.

Purpose: We estimated the agreement of a thigh-worn accelerometer, the activPAL, used to measure activity and sedentary parameters, with observed mobility assessments of intensive care unit (ICU) survivors. Method: We prospectively compared activPAL measurements with direct observation during assessments at discharge from the ICU or acute hospital in eight participants with a median age of 56 (1st–3rd quartile 48–65) years and an Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score of 23 (1st–3rd quartile 17–24). Frequency of sit-to-stand transitions; time spent standing, stepping, upright (standing and stepping), and sedentary (lying/sitting); and total steps were described; analysis was performed using Bland–Altman plots and calculating the absolute percent error. Results: All sit-to-stand transitions were accurately detected. The mean difference on the Bland–Altman plots suggested an overestimation of standing time with the activPAL of 31 (95% CI: −9, 71) seconds and underestimation of stepping time by 25 (95% CI: −47, −3) seconds. The largest median absolute percent errors were for standing time (21.9%) and stepping time (18.7%); time spent upright (1.7%) or sedentary (0.3%) was more accurately estimated. The activPAL underestimated total steps per session, achieving the largest percent error (70.8%). Conclusion: Because it underestimated step count, the activPAL likely incorrectly recorded stepping time as standing time, so that time spent upright was the measure of activity with the smallest error. Sedentary behaviour, including frequency of transitions, was validly assessed.

The use of flow-diverting stents for intracranial aneurysms has become more prevalent, and flow diverters are now routinely used beyond their initial scope of approval at the proximal internal carotid artery. Although flow diversion for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms is becoming more commonplace, there have been no reports of its use to treat flow-related cerebral aneurysms associated with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). The authors report the cases of 2 patients whose AVM-associated aneurysms were managed with flow diversion. A 40-year-old woman presented with a history of headaches that led to the identification of an unruptured Spetzler-Martin Grade V, right parietooccipital AVM associated with 3 aneurysms of the ipsilateral internal carotid artery. Initial attempts at balloon-assisted coil embolization of the aneurysms were unsuccessful. The patient underwent placement of a flow-diverting stent across the diseased vessel; a 6-month follow-up angiogram demonstrated complete occlusion of the aneurysms. In the second case, a 57-year-old man presented with new-onset seizures, and an unruptured Spetzler-Martin Grade V, right frontal AVM associated with an irregular, wide-necked anterior communicating artery aneurysm was identified. The patient underwent placement of a flow-diverting stent, and complete occlusion of the aneurysm was observed on a 7-month follow-up angiogram. These 2 cases illustrate the potential for use of flow diversion as a treatment strategy for feeding artery aneurysms associated with AVMs. Because of the need for dual antiplatelet medications after flow diversion in this patient population, however, this strategy should be used judiciously.
From organocatalysed desilylations to high-yielding benzylidenations of electron-deficient benzaldehydes

A new type of organoprecatalyst (MeSCH2Cl/KI) for desilylation and benzylidenation reactions has been designed. Both reactions are user friendly and high yielding (71–>99%) and have fast reaction rates. The desilylation of iodo silyl ethers was achieved with no sequential etherification side reactions like those seen for reactions when using TBAF. In the application of the catalytic system to a 6-TBDMS ether of a glucoside, glucoside benzylidenations using electron-deficient benzaldehydes were achieved in 87% yield compared with the previously reported yields of 69–77%. Altogether, 14 benzylidenation reactions were realised using silyloxy alcohols and electron-deficient benzaldehydes instead of their activated acetal forms. In terms of reaction rates and yields, the order of the benzylidenations is p-fluorobenzaldehyde > benzaldehyde > p-anisaldehyde, and a possible mechanism is discussed. These experiments have preliminarily differentiated this cost-effective catalytic system from the classic Lewis acids.

The coordination polymers {Mg[Fe(L)(CN)5]}n·0.5nH2O and {MgCu2(CH3COO)6}n [L = bis( N-imidazolyl)methane] have been synthesised. X-ray diffraction revealed that {Mg[Fe(L)(CN)5]}n·0.5nH2O has a one-dimensional neutral chain structure consisting of alternating [Mg(L)2(H2O)2)]2+ species and [Fe(L)(CN)5]2– building blocks, which can be further linked into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure by inter-chain p–p interactions. {MgCu2(CH3COO)6}n has a three-dimensional network with the [MgCu2(CH3COO)6] unit as neutral core extended by Mg–O bonds. Magnetic susceptibility studies on {MgCu2(CH3COO)6}n revealed antiferromagnetic interactions between adjacent Cu(II) ions.
A Model to Assess the Feasibility of Public–Private Partnership for Social Housing
Authors: Guarini Maria , Battisti Fabrizio
Published: June 2017

The effects of the world economic and financial crisis, which began in 2007 and is still in progress, has made increasingly sharp the line of demarcation between those able to access home ownership on the free market, and those unable to do so. For the European Union’s member states, Social Housing (SH) policies include all the initiatives aimed at providing housing support for all the weak segments of the population; these policies have declined differently by different Member States according to their specific needs. In Italy, the growing need for SH accommodation together with the shortage of public resources makes developing forms of Public–Private Partnership (PPP) necessary. Evaluation techniques like Break-Even Analysis and Contribution Margin Analysis are useful in planning interventions including SH initiatives in the context of real estate development or retraining initiatives in PPP (in negotiation processes or in project financing). These kinds of techniques especially allow evaluation of public and private convenience in PPP. In the present work, an assessment procedure has been structured: first the main parameters of a settlement of SH initiative in PPP are defined; subsequently, it is possible to assess the feasibility and the financial balance of the initiative itself. The procedure has been applied to a case study: the interrupted initiative of self-renovation in Via Grotta Perfetta 315 in Rome (Italy).

Reset controllers are commonly used to smooth the transient response of systems. We use this technique to improve a standard baseline pitch controller for offshore wind turbines (WTs). The introduction of this strategy enhances the overall performance of the WT. In particular, the fore-aft and side-to-side accelerations of the WT tower are significantly reduced, whilst a steadier power output is obtained, in comparison to the standard baseline pitch controller. Furthermore, our designed pitch control’s main advantage, with respect to the baseline, is its ease of implementation and reduced complexity as it does not require a gain-scheduling technique, nor pitch position measurement (thus, it is insensitive to pitch sensor faults). The proposed approach has been simulated on the NREL 5-MW prototype offshore turbine model, mounted on a jacket support. The simulations are carried out using the aero-hydro-servo-elastic simulator FAST, and key observations are thoroughly discussed.
Efficient Location Privacy-Preserving k-Anonymity Method Based on the Credible Chain

Currently, although prevalent location privacy methods based on k-anonymizing spatial regions (K-ASRs) can achieve privacy protection by sacrificing the quality of service (QoS), users cannot obtain accurate query results. To address this problem, it proposes a new location privacy-preserving k-anonymity method based on the credible chain with two major features. First, the optimal k value for the current user is determined according to the user’s environment and social attributes. Second, rather than forming an anonymizing spatial region (ASR), the trusted third party (TTP) generates a fake trajectory that contains k location nodes based on properties of the credible chain. In addition, location-based services (LBS) queries are conducted based on the trajectory, and privacy level is evaluated by instancing θ privacy. Simulation results and experimental analysis demonstrate the effectiveness and availability of the proposed method. Compared with methods based on ASR, the proposed method guarantees 100% QoS.
