Managing records and archives in a Hong Kong school: a case study
Authors: Cheng Eric C.K. 
Published: May 2018

Purpose
This study aims to explore the principles and practices for managing records with the lens of functional analysis and knowledge management by using a case study that focuses on the experience of implementing records management at a public high school in Hong Kong.

Design/methodology/approach
A single case study is chosen as the research method for this paper. A series of qualitative interviews and documentary analysis were used to collect and triangulate the qualitative data.

Findings
The results show that the case school adopted a hybrid top-down and bottom-up approach to record management, facilitate decision-making and manage knowledge. The school adopted the taxonomy provided by the quality assurance framework as the functional classification in a digital archive in the records management system.

Practical implications
This study provides a set of taxonomy and a hybrid top-down and bottom-up approach to schools for ensuring that accurate information of all school activities is kept and can facilitate an effective and evidence-based, decision-making process.

Social implications
Identifying taxonomy and management practices for effective documentation in public schools can support planning, assist with organising the continuity of improvement plans and increase reporting and accountability to society.

Originality/value
This study offers a taxonomy and management approach to the literature of records management and the practices for promoting and improving records management in school.
Children’s game-day experiences and effects of community groups
Authors: Reifurth Katherine Rose Nakamoto , Bernthal Matthew J. , Heere Bob 
Published: May 2018

PurposeSport management research that examines children as a distinct group of sport consumers is sparse, and therefore the authors know relatively little about how and why children become fans of sport teams. The purpose of this paper is to explore the game-day experiences of children in order to better understand how these experiences allow children to socialize into the team community and become fans of the team.Design/methodology/approachThe authors examine this through exploratory observational analysis and 26 semi-structured interviews with children at professional sporting events.FindingsAmong the results, it was found that children primarily focus on exploring ways to build membership in the fan community as opposed to initially building connections to the team itself. In addition, those children that watched the games with their peers demonstrated greater in-game emotional responses than those children that viewed the game with family.Research limitations/implicationsThis study provides support for the importance of community membership in the initial stages of sport team fandom as well as the varying effects of different groups within fan communities on child fans. However, further research is needed to increase the generalizability of the results.Practical implicationsIt is recommended that sport teams increasingly target groups that will bring children to games with their peers in order to enhance their game experience and increase their socialization into fandom.Originality/valueThis paper is one of the first in sport management to directly look to better understand children and the ways in which they become fans of sports teams.

ObjectiveThe Affordable Care Act (ACA) introduced reforms to mitigate adverse selection into and within the individual insurance market. We examined the traits and predicted medical spending of enrollees in California post‐ACA.Data SourcesSurvey of 2,103 enrollees in individual market plans, on‐ and off‐exchange, in 2014.Study DesignWe compared actual versus potential participants using data from the 2014 California Health Interview Survey on respondents who were individually insured or uninsured. We predicted annual medical spending for each group using age, sex, self‐rated health, body mass index, smoking status, and income.Principal FindingsAverage predicted spending was similar for actual ($3,377, 95 percent CI [$3,280‐$3,474]) and potential participants ($3,257 [$3,060‐$3,454]); however, some vulnerable subgroups were underrepresented. On‐ versus off‐exchange enrollees differed in sociodemographic and health traits with modest differences in spending ($3,448 [$3,330‐$3,565] vs. $3,175 [$3,012‐$3,338]).ConclusionsWe did not find evidence of selection into the overall insurance pool in 2014; however, differences by exchange status reflect the importance of including off‐exchange enrollees in analyses and the pool for risk adjustment. California's post‐ACA individual market has been a relative success, highlighting the importance of state policies and outreach efforts to encourage participation in the market.

Published: May 2018

ProblemGranulysin (GNLY) is a cytotoxic molecule mostly present in decidual natural killer (NK) cells. Blighted ovum (BO) and missed abortion (MA) represent the early pathological pregnancies with hindered development of the embryoblast or a dead embryo. We investigated the GNLY‐mediated apoptotic mechanism potentially responsible for delayed termination of pregnancy.Method of studyWe performed immunohistological and immunofluorescence labeling of decidual tissues (GNLY, Apaf‐1, NF‐κB). NKG2A expression was analyzed by flow cytometry and GNLY mRNA by RT‐qPCR.ResultsThe GNLY labeling intensity (H score) was lower in the nuclei of trophoblast cells in BO and MA. GNLY gene levels were inversely detected in BO and MA. A decreased decidual NK cell percentage was found in MA. NK cells from pathological pregnancies expressed lower NKG2A levels. The highest frequency of Apaf‐1 was found in trophoblast cells of MA. NF‐kB was highly expressed in decidual cells of BO.ConclusionThe reduced activation of GNLY‐mediated killing might be implicated in the slower rejection of trophoblast cells in BO and MA. A decreased authentic decidual NK cell number could be responsible for low cytotoxicity against trophoblast cells in MA. In BO, trophoblast cells have a higher survival potential due to increased NF‐kB expression.

AbstractBlood‐membrane interactions can have a large impact on the performance of hemodialysis membranes, particularly for high flux membranes in which the membrane itself provides very low resistance to solute transport. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of exposure to serum on the solute clearance and convective sieving characteristics of high flux polysulfone (Optiflux F250NR), polyethersulfone (ELISIO‐25H), and asymmetric cellulose triacetate (SOLACEA‐25H) hemodialyzers using both vitamin B12 and a range of polydisperse dextrans. Zeta potential measurements were used to obtain additional insights into the changes in membrane surface properties. Exposure to serum in a simulated dialysis session caused a significant reduction in both solute clearance and sieving coefficients for the polysulfone/polyethersulfone dialyzers, particularly for the larger molecular weight solutes. In contrast, the transport characteristics of the asymmetric cellulose triacetate dialyzers were almost unchanged after exposure to serum. The zeta potential of the cellulose triacetate membrane became slightly more negative after exposure to serum, consistent with an adsorbed protein layer composed largely of albumin. The net result is that the asymmetric cellulose triacetate dialyzer had dramatically higher clearance of the larger dextrans after exposure to serum, with the clearance and sieving coefficient for a 10 kDa molecular weight dextran being more than an order of magnitude greater than that of the polysulfone/polyethersulfone membranes. These results provide important insights into the expected clinical performance of these high flux dialyzers.

SummaryThe phase 3 PANORAMA‐1 trial led to regulatory approvals of panobinostat (PAN) in combination with bortezomib (BTZ) and dexamethasone (DEX) for the treatment of multiple myeloma after ≥2 prior regimens, including BTZ and an immunomodulatory drug. Patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) were assessed in PANORAMA‐1, with data available for 73 patients in the PAN + BTZ + DEX arm and 74 patients in the placebo (PBO) + BTZ + DEX arm. Per the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire‐Core 30 (EORTC QLQ‐C30), global health status/quality of life (QoL) scores initially declined with PAN + BTZ + DEX during the first 24 weeks before approaching baseline scores and remaining steady during the next 24 weeks, with no difference between arms at Week 48. The EORTC QLQ‐Myeloma module (EORTC QLQ‐MY20) demonstrated initial improvements and subsequent stabilization of disease symptom scores in both arms and initial worsening and subsequent improvement of side effects of treatment scores, with the initial worsening more pronounced and recovery less pronounced with PAN + BTZ + DEX. Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group‐Neurotoxicity scores remained relatively stable and similar between the arms. Overall, these PRO findings support the addition of PAN to the BTZ+DEX regimen as an efficacious treatment option, with limited symptomatology and impact on patients’ QoL. The reported results are based on a descriptive analysis of the data. No formal statistical tests have been performed.
Human Rights and the Pink Tide in Latin America: Which Rights Matter?
Authors: Grugel Jean , Fontana Lorenza B. 
Published: May 2018

ABSTRACTLatin America witnessed the election of ‘new Left’ governments in the early 21stcentury that, in different ways, sought to open a debate about alternatives to paradigms of neoliberal development. What has this meant for the way that human rights are understood and for patterns of human rights compliance? Using qualitative and quantitative evidence, this article discusses how human rights are imagined and the compliance records of new Left governments through the lens of the three ‘generations’ of human rights — political and civil, social and economic, and cultural and environmental rights. The authors draw in particular on evidence from Andean countries and the Southern Cone. While basic civil and individual liberties are still far from guaranteed, especially in the Andean region, new Left countries show better overall performances in relation to socio‐economic rights compared to the past and to other Latin American countries. All new Left governments also demonstrate an increasing interest in ‘third generation’ (cultural and environmental) rights, though this is especially marked in the Andean Left. The authors discuss the tensions around interpretations and categories of human rights, reflect on the stagnation of first generation rights and note the difficulties associated with translating second and third generation rights into policy.

AbstractFood–web complexity often hinders disentangling functionally relevant aspects of food–web structure and its relationships to biodiversity. Here, we present a theoretical framework to evaluate food–web complexity in terms of biodiversity. Food network unfolding is a theoretical method to transform a complex food web into a linear food chain based on ecosystem processes. Based on this method, we can define three biodiversity indices, horizontal diversity (DH), vertical diversity (DV) and range diversity (DR), which are associated with the species diversity within each trophic level, diversity of trophic levels, and diversity in resource use, respectively. These indices are related to Shannon's diversity index (H′), whereH′ = DH + DV − DR. Application of the framework to three riverine macroinvertebrate communities revealed thatDindices, calculated from biomass and stable isotope features, captured well the anthropogenic, seasonal, or other within‐site changes in food–web structures that could not be captured withH′alone.
Signals of large scale climate drivers, hatchery enhancement, and marine factors in Yukon River Chinook salmon survival revealed with a Bayesian life history model

AbstractUnderstanding how species might respond to climate change involves disentangling the influence of co‐occurring environmental factors on population dynamics, and is especially problematic for migratory species like Pacific salmon that move between ecosystems. To date, debate surrounding the causes of recent declines in Yukon River Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) abundance has centered on whether factors in freshwater or marine environments control variation in survival, and how these populations at the northern extremity of the species range will respond to climate change. To estimate the effect of factors in marine and freshwater environments on Chinook salmon survival, we constructed a stage‐structured assessment model that incorporates the best available data, estimates incidental marine bycatch mortality in trawl fisheries, and uses Bayesian model selection methods to quantify support for alternative hypotheses. Models fitted to two index populations of Yukon River Chinook salmon indicate that processes in the nearshore and marine environments are the most important determinants of survival. Specifically, survival declines when ice leaves the Yukon River later in the spring, increases with wintertime temperature in the Bering Sea, and declines with the abundance of globally enhanced salmon species consistent with competition at sea. In addition, we found support for density‐dependent survival limitations in freshwater but not marine portions of the life cycle, increasing average survival with ocean age, and age‐specific selectivity of bycatch mortality in the Bering Sea. This study underscores the utility of flexible estimation models capable of fitting multiple data types and evaluating mortality from both natural and anthropogenic sources in multiple habitats. Overall, these analyses suggest that mortality at sea is the primary driver of population dynamics, yet under warming climate Chinook salmon populations at the northern extent of the species’ range may be expected to fare better than southern populations, but are influenced by foreign salmon production.

Published: May 2018

AbstractBackgroundConnective tissue autoimmune diseases (CTADs) constitute a group of conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis; systemic lupus erythematosus; mixed connective tissue disease; calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia (CREST) syndrome; scleroderma; dermatomyositis; and Sjögren syndrome. There are few studies on the alterations in filiform papillae in CTAD. Thus, the objective of this work was to determine whether there are changes in the macroscopic and dermoscopic patterns of filiform papillae.MethodsThis case–control study included patients who were diagnosed with CTAD. The dependent variable was the dermoscopic pattern of filiform papillae of the tongue, and the independent variables were age, gender, time of evolution, and current treatment. A photograph of the back of the tongue was taken, and subsequently, the same site was examined by dermatoscopy. The microscopic and dermoscopic patterns of filiform papillae were classified (Maeda).ResultsWe included 50 cases and 50 controls, 94% of whom were female. The mean age was 43.96 ± 14.65 years. Of the cases with CTAD, 25% presented with a normal macroscopic pattern, versus 36% (18) with pattern II, 12% (6) with pattern III, and 20% (10) with pattern IV. The dermoscopic pattern was type I in 23 cases (46%), type II in 16 (32%), type III in 10 (20%), and type IV in one patient (2%).ConclusionsWe have noted alterations in filiform papillae in CTADs, which emphasizes the importance of a detailed intraoral exploration and the macroscopic and dermoscopic evaluation of the dorsum of the tongue, specifically the filiform papillae.
Ecology and biogeography in 3D: The case of the Australian Proteaceae
Authors: Pausas Juli G. , Lamont Byron B. 
Published: May 2018

AbstractThe key biophysical pressures shaping the ecology and evolution of species can be broadly aggregated into three dimensions: environmental conditions, disturbance regimes and biotic interactions. The relative importance of each dimension varies over time and space, and in most cases multiple dimensions need to be addressed to adequately understand the habitat and functional traits of species at broad spatial and phylogenetic scales. However, it is currently common to consider only one or two selective pressures even when studying large clades. We illustrate the importance of the all‐inclusive multidimensional approach with reference to the large and iconic plant family, Proteaceae: we review life‐history traits related to these three dimensions for the 46 genera occurring in Australia and show that this family can be considered the product of a long history of harsh environments, recurrent fires and strong faunal interactions. Because most Proteaceae species occur in fire‐prone ecosystems and possess fire‐adaptive traits that are both ancient and essential for their survival, disturbance by fire is likely to explain much of this family's ecology, evolution and distribution. Approaches that only examine prevailing environmental variables may fail to identify the mechanisms that drive a taxon's biogeography; they need to consider the likely mechanisms of adaptation and accept or reject plausible alternative hypotheses as the evidence allows. As multidisciplinary teams that consider all aspects of a taxon's ecology are assembled, and databases and numerical tools become increasingly available, studies on the ecology, biogeography and diversity of organisms at broader spatial and phylogenetic scales will arrive at more realistic conclusions.
Do long‐distance migratory birds track their niche through seasons?
Authors: Zurell Damaris , Gallien Laure , Graham Catherine H. , Zimmermann Niklaus E. 
Published: May 2018

AbstractAimSeasonal migration by animals is an extensively studied, global phenomenon. Yet, we still lack a general understanding whether migrants track their niche between summer and winter ranges (following fixed environmental conditions throughout the year) and which mechanisms influence this behaviour. Here, we assessed the degree of seasonal niche tracking in Holarctic long‐distance migratory birds (n = 717; excluding very rare species) and evaluate the influence of biogeographic (regional and range characteristics) and ecological (trophic) factors on tracking.LocationGlobal.TaxonBirds.MethodsWe calculated seasonal niche overlap by means of ordination, and estimated the degree of niche tracking using similarity tests. Niche tracking was evaluated for two different environmental predictor sets: climate and vegetation productivity (reflecting resource selection) versus climate and land cover (reflecting habitat choice). Multivariate phylogenetic regression was used to evaluate effects of biogeographic and ecological traits on niche tracking.ResultsWe found significant niche tracking in 65–95% of species with a higher proportion of species significantly tracking climate and land cover compared to climate and vegetation productivity. Traits explained 12–18% of the variance in niche tracking with strong regional differences, a negative effect of migration distance and positive effects of range size on niche tracking. The effects of niche breadth and trophic traits were less pronounced and varied between environmental predictor sets.Main conclusionsOur results indicate that at coarse spatial resolution, long‐distance migratory species tend to track their niche and select largely similar environments through seasons. Stronger niche tracking of land cover could reflect conservatism in habitat selection across seasons, for example for foraging and roosting. This conservatism towards land cover should be considered when making predictions to future environments. A better understanding of the factors that constrain seasonal range limits will be critical for predicting how migration patterns could respond to future environmental changes.
End‐of‐life trajectory of coping and self‐care of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: A meta‐synthesis using meta‐ethnography
Authors: Igai Yasuko 
Published: May 2018

AbstractAimThis study aimed to extract patient narratives regarding the end‐of‐life trajectory of their self‐care and coping experiences as patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and to use meta‐ethnography to discover common metaphors of their experience in order to inform the development of nursing interventions.MethodsA comprehensive search of qualitative research using electronic databases, in English and Japanese, regarding patients with IPF, identified four articles. The meta‐ethnography approach followed seven steps, which provided a synthesis of the phenomena from both comparative and cumulative analyses of the qualitative data.ResultsSeven key concepts and metaphors were synthesized: (i) an extended period before obtaining a diagnosis (“Waiting for the other shoe to drop”); (ii) suffering as the pathway of illness (“Gloom and doom”); (iii) the burden of the symptoms and loss of independence (“Staggering under the load”); (iv) acceptance and living with the restrictions of home oxygen therapy (“A double‐edged sword”); (v) changes in the family role (“All in the same boat”); (vi) existential suffering (“Dead‐end streets and rays of hope”); and (vii) challenges to maintain independent living (“Making the best of it”). Reciprocal, refutational, and line‐of‐argument modes of synthesis revealed the relationships of the metaphors. Meta‐ethnography provided a mechanism for a cumulative knowledge base for necessary nursing interventions.ConclusionsThe critical nursing interventions were: the relief of symptoms, particularly dyspnea and cough; coordinating lifestyle changes; providing psychological support for living with an illness beginning from the time of diagnosis; and carefully starting the end‐of‐life discussions with patients and families.
