How far can social role valorisation theory help in transition planning for a school‐leaver with significant special needs?
Authors: Connaughton Helen , Cline Tony 
Published: January 2020

Accessible Summary

After they leave school, lots of young people with disabilities do not enjoy the good things in life such as going to college, having a paid job and meeting friends.

Social role valorisation (SRV) theory says that in order to enjoy the good things in life, people need to have valued social roles.

This project used SRV theory to help to plan for a good life for a 17‐year‐old student with a learning disability during her final year in school.

As a result of the individualised supports she received, which were guided by SRV theory, Rutchelle gained many valued social roles including employee, commuter, gym member, girlfriend, consumer and adult. However, she still did not have as many relationships or as good a social life as other 18‐year‐olds. Most importantly, she did not have many choices about what she could do when she left school.

The research shows that SRV theory is useful in transition planning, but that other theories such as inclusion and the social model of disability are very important if people with disabilities are to enjoy the good things in life.

AbstractBackgroundResearch suggests that, in spite of legislation, the process of transition from school is problematic for most young people with disabilities. Best practices in transition emphasise the importance of providing personalised transition supports. This study, which took place in Ireland, aimed to explore the application of social role valorisation (SRV) theory to the transition process for one school leaver with a moderate Intellectual Disability.Materials and MethodsA single case research design was used. Data was collected over a period of nine months through interviews, observations and document analysis. Thematic analysis based on SRV principles and themes was conducted to analyse the data.ResultsThis research found that, while the participant experienced many of ‘the good things of life’ by the end of the project, she had fewer relationships and a more limited social life than would be typical for an 18 year old. In addition, she was restricted in her post‐school choices in spite of her enhanced image, competencies and valued social roles.ConclusionsThis study suggests that, while SRV theory is useful in guiding the transition process, it may need to be adapted in order to reconcile with more contemporary movements in the field of disability, such as the Social Model of Disability and Inclusion, if it is to become a guiding theory in the delivery of personalised supports during the period of transition from school to adult life.

AbstractIn the “digital conservation” age, big data from Earth observations and from social media have been increasingly used to tackle conservation challenges. Here, we combined information from those two digital sources in a multimodel inference framework to identify, map, and predict the potential for nature's cultural contributions to people in two contrasting UNESCO biosphere reserves: Doñana and Sierra Nevada (Spain). The content analysis of Flickr pictures revealed different cultural contributions, according to the natural and cultural values of the two reserves. Those contributions relied upon landscape variables computed from Earth observation data: the variety of colors and vegetation functioning that characterize Doñana landscapes, and the leisure facilities, accessibility features, and heterogeneous landscapes that shape Sierra Nevada. Our findings suggest that social media and Earth observations can aid in the cost‐efficient monitoring of nature's contributions to people, which underlie many Sustainable Development Goals and conservation targets in protected areas worldwide.

AbstractObjectivesAmong the nodule types, the most controversial group are indeterminate solid nodules from 1 to 2 cm in size with the first choice being transthoracic needle biopsy (TTNB) or positron emission tomography (PET‐CT) or both methods together. However, no single diagnostic algorithm could be applied to all cases. This research discusses the diagnostic success of PET‐CT and TTNB.Materials and Methods407 Patients who referred to our hospital for any reason, with solid nodules with the size from 1 to 2 cmincidentally identified on the thoracic CT tests were investigated. Among the patients who underwent biopsy, 312 cases had PET‐CT, and maximum SUV (SUVmax) values of the nodules were examined. Values of ≥2.5 were accepted as hypermetabolic.ResultsThe mean age of the patients was 61 ± 10.8 years. 84 patients were female (20.6%) and 323 were male (79.4%). For TTNB; sensitivity, specificity and accuracy rates of all cases, who were correctly diagnosed, were 76.9%, 83.3% and 78.9%, respectively (P < .001). The 2.5 SUVmax cutoff value had sensitivity of 91%, specificity of 35.6%, accuracy of 75% (P = .034). The cutoff value of 49 years of age, nodule size of 16.4 mm, gender and 2.5 SUVmax value had high accuracy for benign‐malignant differentiation. No statistically significant difference was found in the upper lobe localization of nodule.ConclusionA positive result from TTNB is a reliable finding; however, a negative result is not definitive. The high negative predictive value of PET‐CT is effective in preventing the unnecessary biopsies and surgical procedures.
Advance Selling and Advertising: A Newsvendor Framework
Authors: Wu Meng , Zhu Stuart X. , Teunter Ruud H. 
Published: January 2020

ABSTRACTMany firms offer consumers the opportunity to place advance orders at a discount when introducing a new product to the market. Doing so has two main advantages. First, it can increase total expected sales by exploiting valuation uncertainty of the consumers at the advance ordering stage. Second, total sales can be estimated more accurately based on the observed advance orders, reducing the need for safety stock and thereby obsolescence cost. In this research, we derive new insights into trading off these benefits against the loss in revenue from selling at a discount at the advance stage. In particular, we are the first to explore whether firms should advertise the advance ordering opportunity. We obtain several structural insights into the optimal policy, which we show is driven by two dimensions: the fraction of consumers who potentially buy in advance (i.e., strategic consumers) and the size of the discount needed to make them buy in advance. If the discount is below some threshold, then firms should sell in advance and they should advertise that option if the fraction of strategic consumers is sufficiently large. If the discount is above the threshold, then firms should not advertise and only sell in advance if the fraction of strategic consumers is sufficiently small. Graphical displays based on the two dimensions provide further insights.
Politics of success stories in the path towards Universal Health Coverage: The case of Turkey
Authors: Agartan Tuba I. 
Published: January 2020

AbstractMotivationTurkey has been acknowledged as a “successful” example of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) reforms and has recently gained donor “darling status.” While the literature on UHC and health reforms in various countries has increased significantly in recent years, there is still little research on the political dynamics of the rise of UHC in national and global development agendas.PurposeThis study examines the politics of UHC in Turkey’s Health Transformation Program (HTP). It investigates how various policy actors, such as international organizations, policy experts and national political leaders, use UHC framing for different purposes.Approach & MethodsThe article develops an interdisciplinary conceptual framework that combines elements of ideational scholarship and critical policy analysis. The analysis is based on a review of the secondary literature and primary sources. Qualitative content analysis is used to identify major themes and analyse patterns of interactions across the various policy levels.FindingsThe article’s main findings demonstrate the ways in which international actors and national policy‐makers engage in policy work and use their relationships, global policy ideas and experiences to build legitimacy and support for their respective agendas. Reforms in Turkey were proposed and implemented before the rise of UHC in the global agenda, suggesting an ex post facto rebranding of its reforms as UHC. For Turkey’s policy‐makers, rebranding worked to tie their policy solutions, summarized in the HTP, to UHC as a widely accepted cultural symbol. The Ministry of Health’s deliberate strategy to encourage data collection and monitoring was also a key part of its efforts to construct a success narrative in collaboration with global policy actors. For the global‐level advocates of UHC, Turkey provided evidence that UHC works. Before it became a target under the health‐related Social Development Goals (SDGs), advocates needed to demonstrate that they had the right framing and metrics for a UHC agenda. After 2015, successful examples have served as strategic tools for building support and political momentum as the agenda was diffused, and as these diverse agendas and interests overlapped.Policy ImplicationsThis article contributes to the current debates on policy diffusion, translation and implementation of the UHC agenda. It unpacks the use of success stories to navigate the political dynamics among national governments and global policy communities. Success stories, alongside an emphasis on country ownership, may serve to encourage the co‐production of policy across local, national and global levels.

AbstractSterculia nobilis is an important tropical woody plant with high ornamental and economic value. At present, there are few reports of diseases on this plant. In August 2018, an unknown leaf spot disease was observed on S. nobilis in Nanning, China, affecting the inner leaves of the canopy and causing considerable defoliation. The pathogen was isolated, and pathogenicity tests carried out on detached leaves to verify Koch's postulates. Based on morphological observations and polygenic analyses, the pathogen causing leaf spots on S. nobilis was identified as Colletotrichum siamense.

AbstractWe herein report the case of a 73‐year‐old male patient who was diagnosed with leukemic non‐nodal MCL. This patient had received six cycles of bendamustine, which resulted in a transient remission, and a second‐line therapy with ibrutinib, which unfortunately failed to induce remission. We started a treatment with single‐agent obinutuzumab at a dose of 20 mg on day 1, 50 mg on day 2‐4, 330 mg on day 5, and 1000 mg on day 6. The laboratory analysis showed a rapid decrease of leukocyte count. Four weeks later, we repeated the treatment with obinutuzumab at a dose of 1000 mg q4w and started a therapy with venetoclax at a dose of 400 mg qd, which could be increased to 800 mg qd from the third cycle. This combination therapy was well tolerated. The patient achieved a complete remission (CR) after three cycles of obinutuzumab and venetoclax. To date, the patient has a progression‐free survival of 17 months under ongoing obinutuzumab maintenance q4w. This is the first report about obinutuzumab and venetoclax induced CR in rituximab‐intolerant patient with an ibrutinib‐resistant MCL. This case suggests that obinutuzumab‐ and venetoclax‐based combination therapy might be salvage therapy in patients with ibrutinib‐resistant MCL.

Published: January 2020

AbstractThe fine sand fraction (50–250 μm) of Mediterranean soils from southern Spain provides valuable information on soil genesis and the origin of their parent materials. This study considers the whole fine sand and heavy fine sand (ρ > 2.82 g cm−3) of Luvisols, Calcisols and Fluvisols, which form a chronosequence (ages from 600 to 0.3 ka) of the River Guadalquivir terrace system. Advanced techniques (X‐ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, variable pressure scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy system and Raman analysis) were employed. Inheritance is the principal pedogenic process. The whole fine sand consisted of carbonates (calcite and dolomite), tectosilicates (quartz, K‐feldspar and plagioclases), phyllosilicates (illite/moscovite, biotite, Na‐mica, chlorite, kaolinite, interstratified vermiculite‐chlorite, vermiculite‐illite and smectite‐illite) and iron oxides (goethite and haematite). The minor minerals (rutile, anatase, ilmenite, zircon, staurolite, monazite, barite, apatite, andalusite, garnet and titanite) are concentrated, also through inheritance, in the heavy fine sand. However, there is also substantiated evidence for neoformation of rutile in these soils, never reported previously. In addition, we report that (a) the geochemical indices calculated in fine sand (SiO2/CaO, Chemical Index of Weathering (CIW), Weathering Index of Parker (WIP), Weathering Index (WI), Base Depletion Index (BDI), Weathering Ratio (WR) and Sr/Zr) are closely related to soil age, allowing chronofunctions to be established, and (b) geochemical indices provide information on the origin of soils and permit the establishment of a “critical point” corresponding to “time zero;” that is, the start of pedogenic alteration of the parent material.HighlightsMineralogy and geochemistry inform on the provenance of the fine sandRutile is neoformed in the fine sand and co‐exists with the polymorph anataseThe properties of the fine sand including geochemical indexes fit chronofunctionsGeochemical indices determine a “critical point” related to the start of weathering
Resource diversity promotes among‐individual diet variation, but not genomic diversity, in lake stickleback
Authors: Bolnick Daniel I. , Ballare Kimberly M. 
Published: January 2020

AbstractMany generalist species consist of specialised individuals that use different resources. This within‐population niche variation can stabilise population and community dynamics. Consequently, ecologists wish to identify environmental settings that promote such variation. Theory predicts that environments with greater resource diversity favour ecological diversity among consumers (via disruptive selection or plasticity). Alternatively, niche variation might be a side‐effect of neutral genomic diversity in larger populations. We tested these alternatives in a metapopulation of threespine stickleback. Stickleback consume benthic and limnetic invertebrates, focusing on the former in small lakes, the latter in large lakes. Intermediate‐sized lakes support generalist stickleback populations using an even mixture of the two prey types, and exhibit greater among‐individual variation in diet and morphology. In contrast, genomic diversity increases with lake size. Thus, phenotypic diversity and neutral genetic polymorphism are decoupled: trophic diversity being greatest in intermediate‐sized lakes with high resource diversity, whereas neutral genetic diversity is greatest in the largest lakes.
First report onWolbachiaendosymbiosis in freshwaterAphelocheirus aestivalis(Heteroptera: Aphelocheiridae) and its potential impact on genetic diversity of host
Authors: Kaczmarczyk‐Ziemba Agnieszka , Krepski Tomasz 
Published: January 2020

AbstractAlphaproteobacteriaWolbachiahave been described as endosymbionts of approximately half of all aquatic insect species. These bacteria might affect not only reproduction but also the genetic diversity of its hosts. In the present study we identifiedWolbachiaendosymbiosis in freshwater true bugAphelocheirus aestivalisF., 1794 (Heteroptera: Aphelocheiridae). Despite the fact thatA. aestivalisis widely distributed in Europe, it occurs rather locally, often in isolated populations. Taking into account thatWolbachia, close relationships and past demographic phenomena could affect the genetic diversity of its host, we analyzed mitochondrial (COIand 16S) and nuclear (internal transcribed spacer 2) markers determined forA. aestivalisindividuals collected from five populations. Moreover, we compared obtainedCOIsequences with those deposited in GenBank. Analyses revealed low genetic differentiation among samples tested, as well as low variation among determinedCOIsequences and those downloaded from the database. AlthoughWolbachiainfection could correlate with decreasing mitochondrial diversity of its host, we suggest that low genetic variation observed in testedA. aestivalissamples (at both mitochondrial and nuclear levels) is a result of populations’ close relationships, past demographic phenomena or is characteristic for this species. Detailed analysis of thewspgene fragment revealed two distinct strains ofWolbachiainfectingA. aestivalis.Both of them belong to supergroup A, also found in other arthropods.
The Asian grass lizard (Takydromus sexlineatus) does not respond to the scent of a native mammalian predator
Authors: Van Moorleghem Charlotte , Van Damme Raoul 
Published: January 2020

AbstractLacertid lizards use chemical cues emitted by saurophagous snakes to evade predation. Whether these lizards can detect and respond to the chemical cues of predatory mammals has not been studied. As many mammals carry distinct body odours and/or use chemical cues for intraspecific communication, lizards can be expected to use these chemicals as early warning cues. To test this idea, we observed the behaviour of Asian grass lizards (Takydromus sexlineatus) that had been transferred to an unfamiliar test arena containing one of four scent treatments. No particular scent was applied to the arena in the control situation. Diluted aftershave served as a pungency control. In the snake treatment, scent of the Oriental whip snake (Ahaetulla prasina) was applied. We included this treatment to learn how Asian grass lizards react to predator chemical cues. Finally, in the mongoose treatment, the lizards were confronted with scent cues of several small Indian mongooses (Herpestes auropunctatus). Snake scent elicited foot shakes, startles and tail vibrations. These are behaviours that in lacertid lizards are associated with stressful situations such as predatory encounters. Surprisingly, lizards confronted with mongoose scent exhibited none of these stress‐indicating behaviours. In fact, their behaviour did not differ from that of lizards subjected to an odourless control treatment. These results raise concern. Mongooses are rapidly invading ecosystems worldwide. If lizards that have co‐evolved with mongooses are unable to detect these predators’ presence through chemical cues, it seems highly unlikely that evolutionary naïve lizards will develop this ability rapidly.
Physicochemical and techno‐functional properties of acid‐aided pH‐shifted protein isolate from over‐salted duck egg (Anas platyrhucus) albumen
Authors: Panpipat Worawan , Chaijan Manat 
Published: January 2020

SummaryHere, potential physicochemical and techno‐functional properties of the albumen protein recovered from over‐salted albumen by an effective acid‐aided pH‐shift process (POA) were tested in comparison with the fresh albumen (FA) and albumen protein recovered from fresh albumen by acid‐aided pH‐shift process (PFA). POA contained 66.73% protein and 11.30% sodium (dry basis). Surface hydrophobicities of PFA and POA were higher than FA (P < 0.05), whereas the reactive sulfhydryl content of FA was higher than PFA and POA (P < 0.05). PFA had the highest whiteness followed by POA and FA, respectively. Single endothermic peak in DSC thermogram was found at 86.86, 89.67 and 98.96 °C for FA, PFA and POA, respectively. Long‐term salting impaired the solubility, viscosity, emulsifying activity and gelation but not for foaming of albumen protein isolate. FA can be softly gelled with continuously packed structure, whereas PFA and POA underwent agglutination to form white clot suspension with spongy network.

SummaryVegetable concentrates and powders can be used in the process of pasta production as natural colouring components. The aim of the work was to investigate the effect of the addition of different vegetable components (powders and concentrates) on the colour, chemical composition, cooking and sensory quality of pasta. Tagliatelle was made from durum semolina substituted with 0%, 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% of beet powder (BP), beet concentrate (BC), carrot powder (CP), carrot concentrate (CC) and kale powder (KP). The addition of concentrates caused a greater change in the colour of the pasta (ΔE: 12.45–48.01) than the analogous addition of the powders (ΔE: 6.24–45.31); however, the colour of the products was unstable and less resistant to cooking. The incorporation of the vegetable powders induced a greater increase in the content of ash and total dietary fibre in the pasta than the addition of the concentrates.
Consumer sensory evaluation of aftertaste intensity and liking of spicy paneer cheese
Authors: Schlossareck Courtney , Ross Carolyn F. 
Published: January 2020

SummaryCapsaicin creates a spicy, burning, sensation that lingers. Thus, an increased understanding of spicy aftertaste and its relationship to consumer liking is of interest. We aimed to evaluate aftertaste intensity and liking of spicy paneer cheese (0, 3.75, 7.5 and 30 ppm capsaicin) by consumers (n = 79) every minute for 15 min. Influences of consumer consumption patterns on spicy aftertaste were also explored. Significant differences (P < 0.05) were observed among samples, across aftertaste time periods (beginning, middle and end), and within consumer consumption categories. In general, the more capsaicin in a sample, the longer the sensation lasted, with a more intense spicy and overall aftertaste. Results showed consumers in different categorisation groups rated intensity of the samples differently, and reported liking the 30 ppm capsaicin paneer sample differently. Additionally, a consumer’s spice level preference was shown to not affect the time to abatement of the spicy aftertaste intensity perceived by consumers.
