State-of-the-art in the pneumococcal field: Proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Pneumococci and Pneumococcal Diseases (ISPPD-11)
Authors:   ISPPD group, Kwambana-Adams Brenda Anna , Mulholland E. Kim , Satzke Catherine 
Published: February 2020

AbstractThe International Symposium on Pneumococci and Pneumococcal Diseases (ISPPD) is the premier global scientific symposium dedicated to the exchange, advancement and dissemination of the latest research on the pneumococcus, one of the world’s deadliest bacterial pathogens. Since the first ISPPD was held in 1998, substantial progress has been made to control pneumococcal disease, for instance, more than half of surviving infants (78.6 million) from 143 countries now have access to the life-saving pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV). The 11th ISPPD (ISPPD-11) was held in Melbourne, Australia in April 2018 and the proceedings of the symposium are captured in this report.Twenty years on from the first ISPPD, there remain many challenges and unanswered questions such as the continued disparity in disease incidence in Indigenous populations, the slow roll-out of PCV in some regions such as Asia, the persisting burden of disease in adults, serotype replacement and diagnosis of pneumococcal pneumonia. ISPPD-11 also put the spotlight on cutting-edge science including metagenomic, transcriptomic, microscopy, medical imaging and mathematical modelling approaches. ISPPD-11 was highly diverse, bringing together 1184 delegates from 86 countries, representing various fields including academia, primary healthcare, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, policymakers and public health.
A standard analysis of Egyptian foreign trade structure for wheat
Authors: Khalil Yehia Mohamed Metwally , Abd El-Ghani Salah Said , Mansour Tamer Gamal Ibrahim 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Background
Wheat is one of the most important food and strategic crops because it is the main food for most Egyptian people; the research aimed to analyze the structure of the Egyptian foreign trade for wheat by determining the most important economic factors affecting the production, consumption, and imports of wheat. By building a standard model for analyzing the foreign wheat trade market in order to narrow the gap between production and consumption so as not to negatively affect the development rates in Egypt and to alleviate the deficit of the Egyptian trade balance, the research was based on descriptive and quantitative analysis using various measures such as relative importance and averages, simple regression analysis, and Simultaneous Equation System.

Results
There is a positive correlation between the quantity of wheat consumed as a dependent variable and the quantity of imports, local production, real national income, and the population as independent variables. For example, the increase in wheat imports by 1 million tons led to an increase in the quantity consumed by 0.243 million tons; the import equation estimates that the decrease in domestic consumption of wheat by 1 million tons, the import price of wheat by one dollar, and the quantity of wheat stock by 1 million tons each lead to an increase in the quantity of imports of wheat at a rate of 0.97, 0.002, and 0.156 million tons, respectively, while the increase in real national income by 1 billion pounds increases the quantity of imports by about 0.005 million tons.

Conclusions
The study concluded that while the factors affecting Egyptian imports of wheat remain the same, the probability of an increase in the Egyptian import bill increases year after year with a consequent increase in the deficit of the Egyptian trade balance, as well as the agricultural trade balance.
Is Market Timing Good for Shareholders?
Authors: Babenko Ilona , Tserlukevich Yuri , Wan Pengcheng 
Published: February 2020

Corporations often transact in their own mispriced stock. This activity, known as equity market timing, can generate substantial profits and increase the long-term stock price. We challenge a closely related popular view that market timing always benefits firm shareholders. Opportunistic financing maneuvers by a firm can negatively affect its uninformed stock owners because of adverse selection and the change in the firm’s short-term price, whereas the long-term returns do not accumulate to departing stockholders. The negative effect of market timing on stockholders increases with the share turnover. Furthermore, the effect of timing is asymmetric: shareholders prefer that the firm corrects underpricing rather than overpricing. Our theory can be used to better interpret the observed stock issuance and repurchase activities of firms. This paper was accepted by Gustavo Manso, finance.
Priorities of palliative care: comparison of perspectives of patients and nurses in a haemodialysis ward in Iran
Authors: Sarafi Shima , Forouzi Mansooreh Azizzadeh , Tirgari Batool 
Published: February 2020

Background: Palliative care is an important branch of nursing care. Patients with end-stage renal disease, owing to the chronic nature of the disease, will require palliative care, with nursing staff being responsible for delivering these services. Understanding the priorities of this type of care from the perspective of patients and nursing staff can be helpful in delivering it effectively and efficiently. This study was conducted to determine and compare palliative care priorities from the perspectives of patients and nursing staff in a haemodialysis ward in Iran. Method: This research is a cross-sectional and descriptive-analytic study with a sample size equal to the research population (322 patients and 45 nursing staff) in a haemodialysis ward in Kerman, Iran. Data were collected using two self-administered questionnaires that included demographic information and palliative care priorities. Data were analysed using SPSS19 with central tendency and dispersion indicators (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation, Mann–Whitney U-test, Kruskal–Wallis, independent t, ANOVA and one-way ANOVA). The significance level was P<0.05. Results: The mean total score (± standard deviation) of palliative care priorities from the patients' and nurses' perspective was 268.83±3.90 and 271.11±29.76, respectively, which was categorised for both groups as ‘high priority’. From the patients' perspective, the highest mean score was obtained from ‘supporting patient with insurance concerns’, while the lowest mean score was derived from ‘managing diarrhoea’. The nurses also believed that ‘managing and relief of pain’ had the highest priority and ‘bloating’ had the lowest priority in palliative care. From the perspective of both groups, holistic support and relief of physical disorders had the highest and lowest mean scores, respectively. Further, the mean scores of palliative care priorities did not differ significantly from the perspective of patients and nursing staff in the haemodialysis ward (P=0.68). Conclusion: Palliative care is a high priority for both haemodialysis patients and nursing staff and both groups prioritised it similarly. As palliative care has not yet been initiated formally across all treatment centres in Iran, it is necessary to prioritise its inclusion within the renal and haemodialysis wards in Iran and provide further training or education for nurses to ensure they are equipped to deliver effective and informed palliative care.
Graduating nurses' knowledge of palliative and end-of-life care
Authors: Cleary Ann Selena 
Published: February 2020

Background: Generalist nurses frequently care for people who have advanced chronic diseases in decline, or who are dying. Few studies have measured graduating nurses' knowledge about end-of-life (EoL) care. Aims: To measure and compare knowledge about EoL care using the palliative care quiz for nurses among two cohorts of graduating nurses in a baccalaureate nursing programme. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional survey design using a convenience sample of two cohorts of students. Findings: Total mean scores were low at 44.5% and 46.5% for the cohorts, respectively; this was not statistically significant. Misconceptions related to presentation and symptom management of the dying patient and integration of palliative with acute care. Palliative care knowledge was higher among the cohort who completed the dedicated EoL care course. Conclusion: Significant misconceptions about EoL care exist among these graduating nurses; this information provides direction for curriculum revision.
Responding to errors in the storage, handling, and administration of vaccines
Authors: Youssef Dalia , Mearkle Rachel , Ford Karen 
Published: February 2020

The storage, handling, and administration of vaccines is a complex process. When errors occur, practice nurses must respond appropriately. Dalia Youssef, Rachel Mearkle and Karen Ford provide an overview of recent guidance and advice on how to avoid and deal with vaccine incidents Vaccination is one of the most effective public health interventions. It helps to prevent infectious disease and save lives. However, the storage, handling, and administration of vaccines is a complex process that is not immune to error. Vaccine incidents—including interruption of the cold chain—can undermine vaccine quality and efficacy, and, in some cases, this could require revaccination of patients. In September 2019, Public Health England published updated guidance about responding to errors in the storage, handling, and administration of vaccines. This article provides an overview of this guidance and includes practical advice on how to avoid and deal with common vaccine-related incidents.
Men's health inequalities: a local, national and global issue
Authors: Peate Ian 
Published: February 2020

In many key areas, men's health outcomes are worse than women's. Ian Peate discusses the reasons for these health inequalities and how the practice nurse can help to erradicate them In many key areas, men's health outcomes are worse than women's. In the UK, there has been no strategic response to men's health needs at a national or local level. The chief causes for these differences in health outcomes are associated with men's risk taking behaviours, such as alcohol use, diet, and smoking, non-communicable diseases, and under-use of health services. When there are ‘gender-sensitive’ health interventions that have been aimed specifically at men, these have been shown to improve men's outcomes. Taking seriously the unique needs of men in policy development, implementation and evaluation, including further expansion of nurse-led initiatives, has the potential to make a difference to men's health.
SAFER PRACTICES: reducing the risk of diagnostic errors
Authors: Silverston Paul 
Published: February 2020

Diagnostic errors are relatively common in general practice. Paul Silverston describes a mnemonic-based system to prevent and detect these errors Diagnostic errors in primary care are relatively common and they have the potential to cause serious harm to patients. Up to 80% of these errors are believed to be preventable. This article describes a mnemonic-based system that practice nurses can use to prevent diagnostic errors from arising, as well as to detect these errors when they occur. The mnemonic is designed to be used pre-consultation to reduce the risk of errors arising through better preparation; during the consultation, as a diagnostic error checklist; and after the consultation to encourage reflective practice and critical thinking.
IT-Backsourcing – Empirische Erkenntnisse und Handlungsempfehlungen für eine erfolgreiche Re-Integration der IT-Serviceerbringung
Authors: von Bary Benedikt , Westner Markus , Strahringer Susanne 
Published: February 2020

ZusammenfassungIT-Backsourcing bezeichnet die Re-Integration vormals outgesourcter IT-Services zurück zum auslagernden Unternehmen. Die vorliegende Studie stellt die Ergebnisse einer Umfrage unter IT-Managern zu Einflussfaktoren von IT-Backsourcing-Entscheidungen vor. Es lässt sich feststellen, dass IT-Backsourcing von Unternehmen in unterschiedlichen Branchen und für eine Vielzahl an unterschiedlichen IT-Services, wie z. B. Applikationsentwicklung oder Infrastruktur-Leistungen, durchgeführt wird. Hauptgründe für die Entscheidung für ein IT-Backsourcing sind mangelnde Qualität, hohe Kosten sowie eine schlechte Beziehung zum IT-Dienstleister. Die Ergebnisse der Umfrage zeigen, dass diejenigen Unternehmen, die sich für ein Backsourcing entschieden haben, nach der Entscheidung insgesamt zufriedener waren als diejenigen, die in einer Outsourcing-Beziehung geblieben sind. Zudem werden verschiedene Handlungsempfehlungen für IT-Manager aufgezeigt. Zur Ausarbeitung einer zukunftsorientieren IT-Sourcing-Strategie empfiehlt es sich, eine service-spezifische Sourcing-Strategie zu verfolgen und entsprechend spezialisierte Dienstleister einzusetzen. Im Falle einer Entscheidung für ein IT-Backsourcing sollten verschiedene Erfolgsfaktoren beachtetet werden, wie z. B. eine frühzeitige Neubesetzung von Schlüsselstellen sowie ein lückenloser Wissenstransfer.
Towards a vital pedagogy: Learning from anti-ableist practice in art education
Authors: Penketh Claire 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Art education has the potential to promote inclusive education for all children and young people. However, the pervasive discourse of special education, with an emphasis on individual deficit, support and remediation, can dominate our thinking about the relationship between disability and art education. This article reports on an attempt to resist the limitations of such discourses by introducing anti-ableist, crip theory to art educators (n=48). Visual and textual storyboards enabled practitioners to present, reflect and revise projects from a committed anti-ableist position. Modified projects reflected an awareness of the benefits of multi-sensory approaches, the advantages of interdependency and a greater resonance with contemporary arts practice. Acknowledging the challenges of taking theory to practice, the article suggests that anti-ableist theory can promote a vital pedagogy in art education. It concludes that crip theory can provoke practice-based resistance to deficit-based models of disability.
Autism and outsiderism: The art of George Widener
Authors: Wexler Alice 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Until recently, Outsider Art has escaped the examination that has been given other colonialist labels, such as Orientalism and Primitivism. Contemporary artists, such as George Widener, who slip in between mainstream and Outsider artworlds, pose lingering questions about this category. As an autistic artist, Widener also upends the misrepresentations about the spectrum in both the artworld and art education. I suggest that although Widener does not serve as a representative of the autistic or Outsider Art communities, he does serve as an example of entrenched notions of art and disability in these worlds. In this article, I ask how labels might be discarded so that we can enjoy artists who tell us about the neuro-diverse interior of individuals. Removed from outwardly imposed categories, we might re-imagine art in society and art in schools.
Carrier of Wingless (Cow) Regulation ofDrosophilaNeuromuscular Junction Development
Authors: Kopke Danielle L. , Leahy Shannon N. , Vita Dominic J. , Lima Sofia C. , Newman Zachary L. , Broadie Kendal 
Published: February 2020

AbstractThe first Wnt signaling ligand discovered,DrosophilaWingless [Wg (Wnt1 in mammals)], plays critical roles in neuromuscular junction (NMJ) development, regulating synaptic architecture, and function. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs), consisting of a core protein with heparan sulfate (HS) glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains, bind to Wg ligands to control both extracellular distribution and intercellular signaling function.DrosophilaHSPGs previously shown to regulate Wg trans-synaptic signaling at the NMJ include the glypican Dally-like protein (Dlp) and perlecan Terribly Reduced Optic Lobes (Trol). Here, we investigate synaptogenic functions of the most recently describedDrosophilaHSPG, secreted Carrier of Wingless (Cow), which directly binds Wg in the extracellular space. At the glutamatergic NMJ, we find that Cow secreted from the presynaptic motor neuron acts to limit synaptic architecture and neurotransmission strength. In cownull mutants, we find increased synaptic bouton number and elevated excitatory current amplitudes, phenocopying presynaptic Wg overexpression. We showcownull mutants exhibit an increased number of glutamatergic synapses and increased synaptic vesicle fusion frequency based both on GCaMP imaging and electrophysiology recording. We find that membrane-tethered Wg preventscownull defects in NMJ development, indicating that Cow mediates secreted Wg signaling. It was shown previously that the secreted Wg deacylase Notum restricts Wg signaling at the NMJ, and we show here that Cow and Notum work through the same pathway to limit synaptic development. We conclude Cow acts cooperatively with Notum to coordinate neuromuscular synapse structural and functional differentiation via negative regulation of Wg trans-synaptic signaling within the extracellular synaptomatrix.
Michel Houellebecq’s Submission – a novel of decadence
Authors: Bikulčius Vytautas 
Published: February 2020

Michel Houellebecq’s Submission has been analysed as a novel of decadence in this paper. Referring to the works of Michel Winock, François Livi and Michel Onfray, it has been found that a decadent novel can be associated not only with the works of Joris-Karl Huysmans, Pierre Loűys, Jean Lorrain and others produced at the end of the 19th century but also at subsequent periods. Such characteristics of decadent writing as the threat of catastrophe, fundamental changes in society, nostalgia can be found in the analysed novel.François, the main character of the novel, an expert on Huysmans and a professor at Sorbonne University, supports Huysmans’ ideas to some extent trying to find the link between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 21st century by comparing processes in society. Huysmans sought an ideal in the Middle Ages, while François travels to Rocamadour, famous for the statue of the Black Madonna, with a hope to find a spiritual revelation but becomes aware that the world of the past has gone forever. Changes in society made Huysmans leave the monastery, similarly, François gets frustrated as he loses his job when the Muslim Fraternity comes into power.Using the dystopian genre, Houellebecq depicts unbelievable changes in society – the new government proclaims Islam an official religion of France. Society is governed by new rules, the authority is concerned about two things – demography and education. Those, who refuse to convert to Islam, lose their jobs. Changes in society are even linked with geopolitical changes. Meanwhile Houellebecq reveals significant differences between the decadence of the end of the 19th and of the 21st century. Huysmans’ decadence results in neuroses, a desire to seal himself off from the world in alcohol, drugs, etc., to surround himself with works of art, while François in Submission enjoys erotic pleasures, gradually becomes an alcoholic, he does not suffer like Huysmans’ protagonist Des Esseintes. It can be stated that Submission is a decadent novel only at thematic level since aesthetic values, characteristic of the decadence of the 19th century, are left in the background. The only justification of François is that he speaks about his conversion to Islam hypothetically, it shows that he has not made up his mind to take this step.
Del arte abstracto a la neofiguración en la pintura costarricense (1970-1978). Manuel de la Cruz González, “Felo” García y Lola Fernández
Authors: Montero Rodríguez Daniel 
Published: February 2020

El estudio del proceso de transición del arte abstracto a la neofiguración en la pintura costarricense (1970-1978) a partir de los trabajos pictóricos de Manuel de la Cruz González, Rafael “Felo” García y Lola Fernández se realiza a través del análisis de la semiótica y el método hipotético deductivo, para lo cual se emplean tres niveles semiológicos: sintáctico, semántico y pragmático. Esto permite determinar tanto la finalización de la pintura abstracta, como los inicios de la neofiguración en el país para, finalmente, valorar cómo fue el cambio de estilos en el contexto socio-cultural costarricense. En una primera instancia, se analizan las obras Blanco interrumpido (1971) de Manuel de la Cruz González, Ola creciente (1967) de “Felo” García y Supervivencia (1971) de Lola Fernández, las cuales representan la abstracción geométrica, el expresionismo abstracto y el informalismo, respectivamente, en Costa Rica. De esta forma, se observa que el arte abstracto no solo significó ruptura en el medio plástico nacional, sino que implicó una revolución pictórica, al posibilitar nuevas formas de trabajo artístico en el país. Por otra parte, el análisis de los niveles semióticos en las obras Desnudo rojo (1978) de Manuel de la Cruz González, Tugurios (1970) de “Felo” García y Segunda etapa: cuarta escalera de la serie: Arquetipo (1976) de Lola Fernández, con las cuales se establece los inicios del estilo neofigurativo en la pintura costarricense. De este modo, se confirma esa postura revolucionaria del arte abstracto, pues la nueva figuración representa ese cambio artístico que se consigue gracias al rompimiento generado por la abstracción. Finalmente, la transición del estilo abstracto al neofigurativo en el contexto artístico, cultural y social de Costa Rica, se evidencia al contrastar las obras de ambos estilos en los artistas y al compararlas entre ellas. Con esto, la ruptura de la abstracción y la evidencia de una neofiguración costarricense, con sus particularidades, permiten confirmar no solo la existencia de esta última en el país, sino la revolución plástica producida, la cual abrió nuevas posibilidades artísticas a la pintura nacional costarricense.

Published: February 2020

Introduction: Determining the research priorities in Evidence-Based Nursing Care is considered as a regular method to provide substantive information for developing the nursing science and taking evidence-based practical steps but such research is currently minimal. Therefore, a Delphi survey was conducted to determine the research priorities in Evidence-Based Nursing Care in the North of Iran.
Methods: A three-round Delphi study was conducted to identify research priorities in Evidence-Based Nursing Care. The study comprised of research nurses, who have attended a Research Methodology course and did have published research. A Delphi expert panel consists of a group of credible experts within the field attending in consensus meetings to determine the nursing research top priorities. Open-ended questions were analyzed using thematic content analysis. Analysis of questionnaires 2 and 3 entailed an examination of the mean scores for each priority ranked on the five-point Likert scale.
Results: Round 1 had 42 themes across 174 topics, identiﬁed by analyzing the data. In Round 2, respondents ranked all themes and 30 themes were selected. Finally, in Round 3, the top five research priorities emerged as the following: Assurance in health care, nurse-patient communication, pain management, taking care of the patients under mechanical ventilation and drug care.
Conclusions: Determining research priorities in the Evidence-Based Nursing Care would optimize the level of utilization of the results of the studies by nurses and subsequently could improve the delivery of evidence-based nursing services; Prioritization will also help in directing resources to the essential research needs.
