Introduction: Data from a randomized trial suggest transfusion rates are similar for robotic and open prostatectomy. The objective of this study was to compare perioperative outcomes of robotic and open prostatectomy at a Canadian academic centre.

Methods: A retrospective review of all prostatectomies performed by all surgeons at The Ottawa Hospital between 2009 and 2016 was completed. Cases and outcomes were identified using an administrative data warehouse. Extracted data included patient factors (age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, Elixhauser comorbidity score), operative factors (length of operation, surgical approach, anesthesia type), and perioperative outcomes (length of recovery room and hospital stay, transfusion rate, hospital cost). Baseline characteristics and outcomes were compared between robotic and open surgical approaches. The primary outcome was transfusion during the index admission.

Results: A total of 1606 prostatectomies were performed by 12 surgeons during the study period (840 robotic, 766 open). The rate of transfusion was lower in patients undergoing robotic compared to open surgery (0.6% vs. 11.2%; p<0.001). The robotic prostatectomy cohort had a shorter length of stay in the recovery room (155.7 vs. 231.1 minutes; p<0.001) and shorter length of hospital admission (1.4 vs. 2.8 days; p<0.001). Hospital costs per case were approximately $800 more for robotic prostatectomy ($11 475 vs. $10 656; p<0.001).

Conclusions: This hospital-wide analysis revealed that robotic prostatectomy is associated with a lower transfusion rate compared to the open approach. Further studies emphasizing patient-reported outcomes are needed.

Authors: Baverstock Richard , Crump R. Trafford , Civitarese Andrea , Carlson Kevin
Published: November 2018

Introduction: Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are being treated in secondary care settings, resulting in delayed access for all patients. The objectives of this study were to examine the effects of an integrated delivery model on 1) the volume of care delivered in the secondary care setting; and 2) the use of potentially unnecessary care associated with LUTS.

Methods: This study was based on a retrospective analysis of administrative data collected before and after the integrated LUTS clinic was introduced in Calgary, Alberta. Two cohorts of patients diagnosed with one of four conditions associated with LUTS were defined: 1) the year prior to the introduction of the integrated LUTS clinic; and 2) the year after. To measure their utilization of care, patients’ healthcare records between the clinic, emergency department, and hospital were linked. The integrated LUTS clinic involved a multidisciplinary care team, co-located with a common electronic medical record system using a pre-established clinical pathway.

Results: After the introduction of the integrated LUTS clinic, there was a significant increase in the proportional number of patients receiving followup care at the clinic and a significant decrease in the proportional number of patients receiving a cystoscopy or being admitted to the hospital. There was no change in the number of patients visiting the emergency department.

Conclusions: An integrated delivery model can be successfully implemented in secondary care for delivering chronic care. The integrated LUTS clinic improved access to care for patients and reduced their use of unnecessary services.
Contemporary management of renal trauma in Canada: A 10-year experience at a level 1 trauma centre
Authors: Mann Uday , Zemp Logan , Rourke Keith F.
Published: November 2018

Introduction: Contemporary Canadian renal trauma data is lacking. Our objective is to describe 10-year outcomes of renal trauma at a Canadian level 1 trauma centre using a conservative approach.

Methods: The Alberta Trauma Registry at the University of Alberta was used to identify renal trauma patients from October 2004 to December 2014. Hospital records and imaging were reviewed to identify clinic-radiographical factors, including patient age, gender, Injury Severity Score (ISS), American Association of the Surgery for Trauma (AAST) grade, computerized tomography (CT) findings, urological interventions, length of stay, transfusion and death rates. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square, and t-tests were used when appropriate.

Results: A total of 368 renal trauma patients were identified. Mechanism of injury was blunt trauma in 89.1% of cases, mean age was 36.2 years, and mean ISS was 30.8 (±13.6). AAST grade distribution was 16.6% (Grade 1), 22.8% (Grade 2), 36.4% (Grade 3), 20.9% (Grade 4), and 3.3% (Grade 5). Overall, 9.5% (35) of patients required urological intervention for a total of 40 treatments, including ureteral stenting (3.0%), angioembolization (3.3%), percutaneous drainage (0.3%), or open intervention including nephrectomy (2.4%) and renorrhaphy (0.5%). No Grade 1 or 2 injuries required intervention, while 1.5%, 31.2%, and 75.0% of Grade 3, 4, and 5 injuries did, respectively. The overall renal salvage rate was 97.6%, which did not differ by mechanism of injury (p=0.25). Patients with penetrating trauma were more likely to require urological intervention (20.0% vs. 8.2%; p=0.04). Of the high-grade (III–V) renal injuries identified, 15.7% (35/223) required urological intervention, 4.9% (11) required open surgical intervention, and only 4.0% (9) of patients with high-grade renal injury required nephrectomy.

Conclusions: The trend towards conservative treatment of renal trauma in Canada appears well-supported even in a severely injured patient population, as over 90% of patients avoid urological intervention and only 3% require operative intervention resulting in renal salvage rates of 97.6%.

Authors: Batiha Abdul-Monim
Published: November 2018

PURPOSE: This study was a) performed to evaluate to what degree Jordanian university students display healthy nutritional behavior, b) which socio-demographic variables impact on it, and c) to identify perceived barriers toward not eating healthy foods.

METHOD: A cross-sectional descriptive survey based on a questionnaire, was completed by Jordanian university students (n =1.180).

RESULTS: Students show a low level of a nutritional behaviors score (10 from 20).The most common types of food/drink consumed were caffeine drinks and the rarely or never consumed one was fish. The perceived barriers for not eating healthy food reported were: i) Healthy foods are expensive, ii) Lack of time, iii) Poor choice of healthy foods, iv) living alone at home, v) Don’t know how to cook, and vi) Don’t like/enjoy healthy foods.

CONCLUSIONS: Increased nutritional awareness and healthier nutrition are needed to improve nutritional behavior because it connected with improving health status and academic achievement. Perceived barriers for not eating healthy food should be considered in planning university nutritional programs.

Published: November 2018

BACKGROUND: The use of complimentary and alternative medicines has risen globally. We therefore, explored the prevalence and predictors of use of complementary and alternative medicines among healthcare workers.

METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study that was conducted between 1st June and 31st August 2018 on the use of complementary and alternative medicines among health workers in Federal Medical Center Makurdi and Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi in Benue State. Questionnaire was used to collect data from respondents and data analysed using logistic binary regression models.

RESULT: Response rate for the study was 80.2% out of which females were 196 (58.2%) with 215 (65.7%) in the age bracket of 31 – 60 years. Married respondents were 244 (72.4%) while Medical Doctors followed by Nurses were 87 (25.8%) and 84 (24.9%) respectively. Majority of the respondents, 113 (33.8%) have a monthly salary of above N100,000 (277.8 USD @ exchange rate of N360) while health workers of Tiv ethnic extraction had the highest number of 202 (60.7%) followed by those of Idoma extraction, 95 (28.5%). Those with years of work experience between (0 -15) were 268 (87.9%). The most used CAM was spiritual therapy, 230 (68.2%) while whole-body therapy was the least with 84 (24.9%). Use of biological therapy and manipulative therapy were 182 (54%) and 207 (61.4%) respectively. The odds of a female health worker using spiritual therapy was more than twice that of their male counterpart, (AOR: 2.218, 95% CI: 1.391 – 3.538). The odds of a Community Health Extension Worker and a medical doctor using a biological therapy among the study population were four times and almost thrice respectively compared to a pharmacist (AOR: 4.117, 95% CI: 1.690 – 10.030) and (AOR: 2.541, 95% CI: 1.095 – 5.896). The odds of an Idoma health worker using a manipulative and body-based therapy was thrice that of a Tiv health worker (AOR: 3.00, 95% CI: 1.318 – 6.829). While the odds of a Tiv health worker using whole-body therapy was seven times that of Idoma (AOR: 7.420, 95% CI: 2.186 – 25.188.

CONCLUSION: There was high prevalence of CAM use by health workers and this has potentials to influence integration of CAM with conventional medicines.
Do Course-Based Service Learning Programs Offer More Benefits to Students than Non-Course-Based Programs? The Research Says “Yes”
Authors: Walker William , Walker Cynthia
Published: November 2018

This article examines the qualitative and quantitative differences between course-based service learning programs and non-course-based service programs at the post-secondary level. A review of the research to date reveals greater benefits for students who participate in course-based community service compared to participation in non-course-based service. The course-based model’s cognitive component of organized reflection appears to be the key contributing factor that produces benefits superior to the non course-based approach, both in number and quality. Based on these findings, post-secondary institutions using non-course-based service learning program should consider changing to the course-based model.

Worstelen met de wet, wie is aan zet? Op weg naar HOPE

Centraal staat de vraag: wat is voor de bestuursrechter een goed hanteerbare wet? Dat is een wet waarmee hij zonder veel problemen steeds tot redelijke, juridisch aanvaardbare oplossingen kan komen. Uit zijn ervaringen als bestuursrechter concludeert de auteur dat daarvoor nodig is dat de wet (1) helder is qua tekst, opbouw en toelichting, (2) juridisch deugt en deugdelijk onderbouwd is, en (3) in concrete gevallen niet te veel knelt. De wet moet HOPE zijn: Helder, Overtuigend en Proportioneel jegens Eenieder. De toelichting van de wet is in het bijzonder belangrijk voor de beoordeling van de juridische deugdelijkheid van de wet. Het is tenslotte nuttig als er goed lopende systemen van terugkoppeling door rechters naar wetgevers ontstaan, om de hanteerbaarheid van bestaande wetten te vergroten en als leerervaring bij nieuwe wetten. Dit leidt tot de slotsom: wetgever én rechter zijn aan zet.

De Europese kreukelzone van de wetgever. Goede wetgeving vanuit het EU- en EVRM-perspectief

Wat is een ‘goede wet’ voor de Nederlandse rechter vanuit het EU-recht en het EVRM bezien? Een ‘goede wet’ – daaronder mede begrepen de toelichting bij de wet – stelt de rechter afdoende in staat om (1) de verenigbaarheid van een wet met het EU-recht of het EVRM te beoordelen en (2) potentiële conflicten met het EU-recht of het EVRM constructief op te lossen zonder te hoeven grijpen naar ‘zware’ opties. Maar hoe, en tot op welke hoogte, kan of moet de wetgever rekening houden met de Europese taak en habitat van de Nederlandse rechter, zowel qua inhoud als qua motivering van wetgeving? En welke wetgevende kreukelzone mag de rechter onder Europees recht en het EVRM aan de wetgever laten alvorens in te grijpen? Ter beantwoording van deze vragen gaat deze bijdrage in op de verschillende vereisten die het EU-recht en het EVRM stellen aan goede wetgeving, waarbij mede wordt ingegaan op de structuur van de stapsgewijze toetsing door de Europese Hoven van nationale wetgeving.

Fake news: moeten wetgevers bepalen wat ‘waar’ en ‘nep’ is?

Het afgelopen jaar hebben wetgevers in meerdere landen zich afgevraagd hoe zij nepnieuws en desinformatie moeten tegengaan en reguleren. Een recent en opmerkelijk voorbeeld is te vinden in Frankrijk, waar begin 2018 de regering-Macron een wet over de aanpak van nepnieuws heeft voorgesteld. Deze bijdrage biedt een kort overzicht van bestaande en voorgestelde benaderingen van de regulering van nepnieuws en desinformatie.

Published: November 2018

O presente texto aborda sobre a importância da fitogeografia urbana na cidade de Garanhuns-PE. O objetivo almejado foi analisar a dinâmica fitogeográfica das principais áreas verdes públicas da cidade de Garanhuns por meio da identificação das espécies e o padrão das copas das árvores. Os procedimentos metodológicos aplicados foram subsidiados pela análise sistêmica com aplicação do parâmetro de dominância arbórea por espécies nas áreas verdes públicas, adaptação da classificação de copas arbóreas elaborada por Dawkins (1958), trabalho de campo e espacialização dos dados em mapas através de Sistemas de Informações Geográficas. Foi diagnosticado que nas áreas verdes estudadas predomina uma arborização com pouca diversidade vegetal e com muitos ou poucos indivíduos arbóreos da mesma espécie. Quanto ao padrão das copas, as árvores exibem as cinco formas presentes na classificação Dawkins, com primazia para os padrões adequados para à arborização urbana, possibilitando que funções vitais da vegetação sejam aproveitas no ambiente urbano.Palavras-chave: Fitogeografia urbana; Domínio arbóreo; Padrão da copa da árvore.AbstractThis paper deals with the importance of urban phytogeography in the city of Garanhuns-PE.

Geodiversidade e Geoturismo no Noroeste do município de Piracuruca (Piauí) / Geodiversity and Geotourism in the Northwest of the municipality of Piracuruca (Piauí)
Authors: Lima Marineldo De Brito , Dos Santos Francílio De Amorim
Published: November 2018

O estudo teve como objetivo identificar e caracterizar áreas com distinta geodiversidade na parte Noroeste do município de Piracuruca, Estado do Piauí, bem como mensurar os Valores Turísticos (Vtur) de cada Geossítio identificado, como forma de ordena-los a partir de seus aspectos turísticos relevantes. Nesse sentido, foi relevante a realização do estudo, pois contribuiu para identificação das potencialidades Geoturísticas e possibilidade de aproveitamento dos espaços naturais de maneira a aliar desenvolvimento socioeconômico e Geoconservação. Os procedimentos metodológicos fundamentaram-se em levantamento cartográfico associado ao trabalho de campo e emprego de proposta metodológica para inventariação dos Valores Turísticos (Vtur) dos Geossítios identificados. Cabe salientar que o relevo da área exibe feições resultantes da erosão diferencial, formas exorcárticas, riachos de leitos rochosos, monolitos com presença de poligonação, presença de sedimentos arenosos e pinturas rupestres com motivos geométricos. Ressalta-se que os Vtur obtidos para os Geossítios apresentaram notas relativamente baixas, em virtude da falta de acessibilidade e ausência de infraestrutua, bem como pouca utilização e falta de conhecimento sobre os mesmos. Frente o relatado levanta-se a sugestão de criação de um roteiro Geoturístico com foco no desenvolvimento econômico local aliado à Geoconservação do afloramento Mocozal.Palavras-chave: Afloramento rochoso; Potencialidades; Conservação.AbstractThe objective of this study was to identify and characterize areas with a distinct geodiversity in the Northwest part of the city of Piracuruca, Piauí State, as well as to measure the Tourist Values (Vtur) of each identified Geosite, as a way of ordering them from their tourist aspects relevant information. In this sense, it was relevant to carry out the study, as it contributed to the identification of Geotourism potentialities and the possibility of using natural spaces in a way that combines socioeconomic development and Geoconservation. The methodological procedures were based on a cartographic survey associated to the field work and the use of a methodological proposal to inventory the Tourist Values (Vtur) of the identified Geosites. It should be noted that the relief of the area shows features resulting from differential erosion, exorcárticas forms, rocky bed streams, monoliths with presence of polygons, presence of sandy sediments and rock paintings with geometric motifs. It is noteworthy that the Vtur obtained for the Geossites had relatively low marks, due to the lack of accessibility and lack of infrastructure, as well as little use and lack of knowledge about them. In front of the reported, the suggestion is made to create a Geotourism script focusing on local economic development allied to the Geoconservation of the Mocozal outcrop.Keywords: Rocky outcrop; Potentialities; Conservation
O caráter neoliberal do Estado na política brasileira de desenvolvimento territorial / The neoliberal feature of the state in the brazilian policy of territorial development
Authors: Marques Leônidas De Santana
Published: November 2018

Ao longo dos primeiros anos do século XXI, a gestão nacional do Estado brasileiro teve como um dos seus principais reordenamentos a instituição de uma política de desenvolvimento territorial (PDT). O objetivo deste artigo é discutir a concepção neoliberal da PDT, argumentando teoricamente a partir de alguns dos conceitos estruturantes desta política. Neste sentido, também argumentamos segundo alguns dados da implementação da política. Compreendemos que, diferente do modo como se apresenta, a PDT não se opõe a uma leitura neoliberal de Estado, sendo necessário então discutirmos o que entendemos por Estado, bem como qual a especifidade do seu caráter neoliberal. Destarte, organizamos este artigo em quatro partes, a partir de um debate teórico-conceitual baseado em revisão bibliográfica e na análise de dados sobre o percurso histórico da PDT no início do século XXI. Problematizamos que o que aparece como descentralização na gestão se revela como uma ratificação, pelos agentes locais, do que já vem pronto do governo federal.Palavras–chave: neoliberalismo; desenvolvimento territorial; Estado; política pública.Abstract Throughout the first years of the XXI century, the national management of the Brazilian State had one of its main reorganizations: the institution of a territorial development policy (TDP). The objective of this article is to discuss the neoliberal conception of the TDP, arguing theoretically some of the essential concepts of this policy. Thus, we also argue as of some data of the implementation of the policy. We understand that, unlike the way it is presented, the TDP does not oppose a neoliberal reading of the State, so it is necessary to discuss what we mean by State, as well as the specificity of its neoliberal feature. Thus, the article is organized in four parts, through a theoretical-conceptual debate based on a bibliographical review and the analysis of data on the historical path of TDP at the beginning of the XXI century. We discuss that what appears as decentralization in the management reveals itself as a ratification by the local agents of what comes readily from the federal government.Keywords: neoliberalism; territorial development; State; public policy.

Mobilidade espacial do trabalho: redundantes do Sertão de Alagoas como parte da reprodução do capital / Labor spatial mobility: superfluous of the hinterland of Alagoas as part of the reproduction of capital
Authors: Lima Lucas Gama , Silva Genilda Maria da , Feitoza Gleiton Do Nascimento
Published: November 2018

O artigo tem como desiderato a investigação teórica/empírica sobre a mobilidade espacial do trabalho e sua manifestação particular no Sertão de Alagoas. Parte-se do pressuposto de que a mobilidade espacial do trabalho é um fenômeno imanente ao capitalismo e decorrente da expropriação dos trabalhadores de seus meios de produção, que formou uma massa de capital variável, redundante e móvel. O advento da acumulação flexível, no final década de 1960, galvanizou a mobilidade espacial do trabalho, em razão da transformação do desemprego em uma realidade inexorável. No Sertão de Alagoas, o latifúndio e o monopólio das fontes de água pelas oligarquias locais, a presença de camponeses, quilombolas e indígenas vivendo em minifúndios e a existência de trabalhadores privados do acesso ao emprego nos pequenos núcleos urbanos da região, ensejaram a formação de redundantes que, sazonalmente, deslocam-se para o Leste de Alagoas e para outras regiões do país. Parte dessa massa humana costuma ser capturada como trabalho escravo, sujeitando-se às formas mais vis de relações sociais. O Sertão de Alagoas se transformou num lócus espacial onde se formam e se evadem redundantes que acompanham os ciclos do capital.Palavras–chave: Mobilidade espacial; trabalhador redundante; acumulação flexível; reprodução do capital; trabalho escravo.Abstract The article has as desideratum the empiric/theoretical investigation about the labor spatial mobility and its particular demonstrations in the hinterland of Alagoas. A common assumption has been that labor spatial mobility is a specific phenomenon to capitalism and resulting of workers' expropriation and their production resources, that formed a variable, superfluous and mobile mass of capital. The advent of flexible accumulation, at the end of 1960, galvanized labor spatial mobility, on account of the unemployment transformation in an inexorable reality. In the hinterland of Alagoas, the latifundium and monopoly of water sources by local oligarchies, the presence of peasants, quilombolas and natives living in smallholdings and the presence of workers prevented from employment access within the region's small urban areas, brought the formation of superfluous workers that, seasonally, move to the East of Alagoas and to other regions of the country. Part of this human concentration tends to be captured as slave labor, which results in these people's objectification to the vilest forms of social relationships. The hinterland of Alagoas has transformed itself into a spatial locus where superfluous workers who follow the capital cycles are formed and migrate.Keywords: Spatial mobility; superfluous worker; flexible accumulation; reproduction of capital; slave labor.
Sentidos do enunciado verbovisual em pôsteres publicitários de Bastardos inglórios

Published: November 2018

A perspectiva do Círculo de Bakhtin adota uma abordagem que considera os enunciados em seus múltiplos planos de expressão (verbal, musical, visual) e, assim, observa seus objetos no limite do campo cultural, enquanto modalidade dialógica nas diversas esferas de atividades humanas. Neste estudo, ao elegermos cinco pôsteres publicitários estadunidenses do filme Bastardos Inglórios (Inglourious Basterds, 2009), de Quentin Tarantino, pretendemos analisar o enunciado verbovisual situado em uma esfera midiática, tal seja a de publicidade de filme, em seus diálogos com a história e com a literatura, especialmente, com os contos de fadas, mostrando os possíveis sentidos que emanam do gênero em estudo.
Meu amigo não é mais secreto: uma análise das estratégias de legitimação do discurso feminista no Facebook
Authors: Dias Nogueira Erika Cristina
Published: November 2018

Após séculos de apagamento das vozes femininas pela sociedade patriarcal brasileira, atualmente, as mulheres têm se apropriado do site de rede social digital Facebook para ecoarem suas falas com maior rapidez, facilidade e autonomia. A partir dessa utilização do Facebook, elas têm a chance de se autoexpressarem, realizarem trocas comunicativas e reflexões engajadas, que podem ser transformadoras de comportamentos e hábitos, principalmente machistas e misóginos. É nesse espaço comunicativo, altamente popular na atualidade e propício à atuação ciberativista, que analisamos discursivamente as denúncias de violência de gênero divulgadas durante a campanha “Meu Amigo Secreto”. A campanha foi um fenômeno, vindo a resultar em grande participação e repercussão na Internet, discussões reflexivas on-line e off-line e, principalmente, um aumento das denúncias policiais de violência. Durante as análises dos posts divulgados por mulheres que se apropriaram da hashtag #MeuAmigoSecreto, verificamos que elas utilizaram em seus relatos estratégias de legitimação para situarem e alicerçarem seu lugar de fala. Desde o emprego da ironia e do discurso de outrem, que pode garantir às enunciadoras a polidez no discurso e a preservação da face; passando pelas encenações descritivas, com traços narrativos e argumentativos, que visam convencer o interlocutor sobre a gravidade da denúncia, posicionando-se contra o estereótipo e padrões machistas disciplinadores.

Addressing Identity Tensions Through Paradoxical Thinking: Lessons from Artistic Interventions in Organizations1
Authors: Berthoin Antal Ariane , Debucquet Gervaise , Fremeaux Sandrine
Published: November 2018

In organizational contexts characterized by multiple logics spanning from conformity to innovation, many employees experience tensions between a business-like identity and an artistic identity. The contribution uses data generated from Web-based surveys of employees, managers, and artists in 86 Spanish companies to explore how identity tensions can be addressed with paradoxical thinking. It shows that engaging in artistic interventions can help people accept and deal with identity tensions between self-and-other and between conformity-creativity in the workplace, enabling the removal of real or subjective barriers to generating new ways of collaborating, new ideas and new ways of doing things.

Published: November 2018

The aim of this paper is to enhance the understanding of the relationship between lean practices and both operational and financial performance. A sample of 171 French manufacturing firms shows a direct effect of external lean practices on financial performance. A firm-centered approach identified three profiles. “Full achievers” present significant differences in both operational and financial performance compare to “weak achievers”. Even if the difference in operational performance is significant between “full achievers” and “internal lean dominant”, there is not a significant difference in financial performance.

Thésaurus : Personne handicapée, outil de coordination des services documentaires spécialisés
Authors: Janik Sophie
Published: November 2018

Ce texte vise à présenter le Thésaurus : Personne handicapée qui vient d’être publié par l’Office des personnes handicapées du Québec (OPHQ). Ses 3 697 descripteurs avec leurs équivalents en anglais répartis en 95 schémas fléchés et environ 2 000 non-descripteurs précisent le langage spécialisé concernant les personnes handicapées et l’enfance en difficulté.

Le Thésaurus propose une terminologie qui correspond à la nouvelle conception de la situation des personnes handicapées, fruit d’une réflexion à laquelle a largement contribué l’OPHQ ces dernières années. Il se base également sur la classification de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé concernant les déficiences, incapacités et handicaps.

Regards croisés sur les mondes de l’autoportrait : le cas des artistes d’origine marocaine Hicham Benohoud, Mehdi-Georges Lahlou et Zakaria Ramhani
Authors: Pinto Ferretti Alexia
Published: November 2018

This article takes a contemporary look at the practice of self-portraiture by three artists from Morocco: Hicham Benohoud, Mehdi-Georges Lahlou and Zakaria Ramhani. The career trajectories of these creators illustrate the various dynamics of institutional opposition and integration mechanisms that belong to the new geographies of art, in the era of globalization. The article's goal is to investigate the manner in which individual, local and global concerns are expressed in their understanding of an imaginary projection of corporality. The works are studied through the lens of local characteristics particular to the artist's Maghreb-Muslim culture. In the first section, the artists' careers, in relation to their training and the places where they have exhibited their work, are presented in tandem with the paradoxes of globalization. It is thus specified that if the artists were trained primarily in the West or made their careers there to achieve international success, it can be attributed to a lack of support from the Moroccan artistic scene, but also to the difficult access to the international art world for artists coming from the art scenes of the Maghreb. In the second part, we postulate that the artists' self-portraits attest to the different issues related to Maghreb-Muslim culture, such as the current socio-political situation in Morocco and the Islamic ban on representation. Lastly, we maintain that these self-portraits are a wider reflection of the varied concerns that transcend the borders of the Maghreb, as the artists reflect on the meeting of the Eastern and Western worlds.
Fostering Entrepreneurship by Linking Organizational Unlearning and Innovation: The Moderating Role of Family Business
Authors: Leal-Rodríguez Antonio L. , Peris-Ortiz Marta , Leal-Millán Antonio G.
Published: November 2018

Innovation is a key component of entrepreneurship and is considered crucial for achieving sustainable competitive advantage. The research model in this paper empirically explores the link between organizational unlearning and innovation outcomes. The model assesses the moderating influence of family business ownership on this link. Hypotheses were tested using a sample of 145 firms in the Spanish automotive components manufacturing sector. Relationships between the constructs were assessed using partial least squares (PLS) SEM path modeling. Results show the significant positive effect of organizational unlearning on the firm’s innovation outcomes.
Modeling Entrepreneurship Intentions: An Essay of Typology
Authors: Branchet Bénédicte , Boissin Jean-Pierre , Hikkerova Lubica
Published: November 2018

From the standpoint of a psycho-sociological intention model adapted from the Theory of Planned Behavior, we analyze factors modeling students’ entrepreneurship intentions, as expressed by 7000 students of 24 different nationalities. We highlight the existence of differences in certain beliefs between countries. We then propose three structuring factors of student entrepreneurship intentions: type of entrepreneurship vision, opinion, and perceived capacity to create a business. Next, we construct a typology of student behaviors toward entrepreneurship intentions manifesting in six characterized clusters. We find that entrepreneurship intention behaviors are relatively supranational and are only slightly influenced by national education systems.

Integrative biological simulation, neuropsychology, and AI safety
Authors: Sarma Gopal P , Safron Adam , Hay Nick J.
Published: November 2018

We propose a biologically-inspired research agenda with parallel tracks aimed at AI and AI safety. The bottom-up component consists of building a sequence of biophysically realistic simulations of simple organisms such as the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, and the zebrafish Danio rerio to serve as platforms for research into AI algorithms and system architectures. The top-down component consists of an approach to value alignment that grounds AI goal structures in neuropsychology. Our belief is that parallel pursuit of these tracks will inform the development of value-aligned AI systems that have been inspired by embodied organisms with sensorimotor integration. An important set of side benefits is that the research trajectories we describe here are grounded in long-standing intellectual traditions within existing research communities and funding structures. In addition, these research programs overlap with significant contemporary themes in the biological and psychological sciences such as data/model integration and reproducibility.
A bacterial immunomodulatory protein with lipocalin-like domains facilitates host–bacteria mutualism in larval zebrafish

Published: November 2018

Stable mutualism between a host and its resident bacteria requires a moderated immune response to control bacterial population size without eliciting excessive inflammation that could harm both partners. Little is known about the specific molecular mechanisms utilized by bacterial mutualists to temper their hosts’ responses and protect themselves from aggressive immune attack. Using a gnotobiotic larval zebrafish model, we identified an Aeromonas secreted immunomodulatory protein, AimA. AimA is required during colonization to prevent intestinal inflammation that simultaneously compromises both bacterial and host survival. Administration of exogenous AimA prevents excessive intestinal neutrophil accumulation and protects against septic shock in models of both bacterially and chemically induced intestinal inflammation. We determined the molecular structure of AimA, which revealed two related calycin-like domains with structural similarity to the mammalian immune modulatory protein, lipocalin-2. As a secreted bacterial protein required by both partners for optimal fitness, AimA is an exemplar bacterial mutualism factor.

Increases in ocean temperature are associated with changes in the distribution of fish stocks, and the foraging regimes and maternal attendance patterns of marine mammals. However, it is not well understood how these changes affect offspring health and survival. The maternal attendance patterns and immunity of South American fur seals were assessed in a rookery where hookworm disease is the main cause of pup mortality. Pups receiving higher levels of maternal attendance had a positive energy balance and a more reactive immune system. These pups were able to expel hookworms through a specific immune mediated mechanism and survived the infection. Maternal attendance was higher in years with low sea surface temperature, therefore, the mean hookworm burden and mortality increased with sea surface temperature over a 10-year period. We provide a mechanistic explanation regarding how changes in ocean temperature and maternal care affect infectious diseases dynamics in a marine mammal.
A pathway for Parkinson’s Disease LRRK2 kinase to block primary cilia and Sonic hedgehog signaling in the brain

Published: November 2018

Parkinson’s disease-associated LRRK2 kinase phosphorylates multiple Rab GTPases, including Rab8A and Rab10. We show here that LRRK2 kinase interferes with primary cilia formation in cultured cells, human LRRK2 G2019S iPS cells and in the cortex of LRRK2 R1441C mice. Rab10 phosphorylation strengthens its intrinsic ability to block ciliogenesis by enhancing binding to RILPL1. Importantly, the ability of LRRK2 to interfere with ciliogenesis requires both Rab10 and RILPL1 proteins. Pathogenic LRRK2 influences the ability of cells to respond to cilia-dependent, Hedgehog signaling as monitored by Gli1 transcriptional activation. Moreover, cholinergic neurons in the striatum of LRRK2 R1441C mice show decreased ciliation, which will decrease their ability to sense Sonic hedgehog in a neuro-protective circuit that supports dopaminergic neurons. These data reveal a molecular pathway for regulating cilia function that likely contributes to Parkinson’s disease-specific pathology.
