Published: December 2018

Purpose
Community coalitions are an important part of the public milieu and subject to similar external pressures as other publicly funded organizations – including changes in required strategic orientation. Many US government agencies that fund efforts such as community-based social marketing initiatives have shifted their funding agenda from program development to policy development. The Florida Prevention Research Center at the University of South Florida (Tampa, Florida, USA) created community-based prevention marketing (CBPM) for policy development framework to teach community coalitions how to apply social marketing to policy development. This paper aims to explicate the framework’s theory of change.

Design/methodology/approach
The research question was: “How does implementing the CBPM for Policy Development framework improve coalition performance over time?” The authors implemented a case study design, with the “case” being a normative community coalition. The study adhered to a well-developed series of steps for system dynamics modeling.

Findings
Results from computer model simulations show that gains in community coalition performance depend on a coalition’s initial culture and initial efficiency, and that only the most efficient coalitions’ performance might improve from implementing the CBPM framework.

Originality/value
Practical implications for CBPM’s developers and users are discussed, namely, the importance of managing the early expectations of academic-community partnerships seeking to shift their orientation from downstream (e.g. program development) to upstream social marketing strategies (e.g. policy change).

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to consider a procedure of water-water energetic reactor (WWER) reactor pressure vessel (RPV) lifetime prediction at the stages of design and lifetime extension using the standard irradiation embrittlement parameters as defined in regulatory documents. A comparison is made of the brittle fracture resistance (BFR) values evaluated using two criteria: shift in the critical brittleness temperature ΔTc or shift in the brittle-to-ductile transition temperature ΔTp and without shifts (Tc and Tp).

Design/methodology/approach
The radiation resistance was determined using the following three approaches: calculation based on standard values ΔTc and Tc0 or ΔTp and Tp0 (a level of excessive conservatism); calculation based on standard value ΔTc and actual value Tc0 or actual values ΔTp and Tp0 (the level of realistic conservatism); or calculation based on actual values of Tc and Tc0 or Tp and Tp0 (the level of actual conservatism). The BFR was evaluated based on the results of testing the specimens subjected to irradiation in research reactors as well as surveillance specimens subjected to irradiation immediately under operating conditions.

Findings
The excessive conservatism in determining the actual lifetime of nuclear reactor vessel materials can be eliminated by using the immediate values of critical brittleness temperature and ductile-to-brittle transition temperature.

Originality/value
Obtained results can be applied to extend WWER vessel operating time at the stages of designing and operation due to substantiated decrease in conservatism. And it will allow carrying out a statistical substantiated assessment of the resistance to brittle fracture of the RPV steels.
Recent grazing reduces reptile richness but historic grazing filters reptiles based on their functional traits

Abstract

Grazing by mammalian herbivores can alter vegetation structure and composition. It can therefore affect critical habitat features used by native wildlife for shelter, feeding, and breeding. This can have variable effects, which advantage or disadvantage particular species, depending on habitat requirements.

We tested the relative effects of recent and historic livestock grazing and recent rabbit and kangaroo grazing on all reptiles, and on specific groups of reptiles based on three functional traits: habitat preference (semi‐arboreal, terrestrial, fossorial), activity pattern (diurnal, nocturnal), and primary foraging habitat (tree, litter, open).

We used structural equation modelling to assess the direct and indirect impacts of mammalian herbivores (livestock, and free‐ranging kangaroos and rabbits) on reptile richness at 108 semi‐arid woodland sites in eastern Australia. We used a trait‐based approach to classify reptiles according to their: (a) habitat preference, (b) activity pattern, and (c) foraging preference.

We recorded 42 reptile species from 1,736 specimens caught over 13,824 trap nights. Sites grazed by rabbits were associated with greater richness of semi‐arboreal species. Kangaroo grazing had virtually no effects on total richness or richness within trait groups. The effects of recent and historic livestock grazing differed among reptile trait groups. Increasing intensity of recent livestock grazing reduced the richness of most reptile groups directly, and indirectly suppressed the positive effect of native plant richness on reptile richness. The effects of historic livestock grazing, however, filtered reptiles based on their traits, reducing the richness of tree‐shrub foraging reptiles only. Increasing woody cover had direct suppressive effects on all reptiles, but particularly open foragers and terrestrial species. Overall, the effects of recent livestock grazing were stronger than those of plant richness or woody cover.

Synthesis and applications. We demonstrate how grazing by all herbivores, both domestic and free‐ranging, needs to be managed according to seasonal conditions in order to meet the conservation needs of semi‐arid reptiles within landscapes dominated by livestock.
Bacteriophages that infect marine roseobacters: genomics and ecology
Authors: Zhan Yuanchao , Chen Feng 
Published: December 2018

SummaryViruses are the most abundant biological entities in seawater. They influence microbial population dynamics, genetic heterogeneity and biogeochemical cycles in marine ecosystems. The isolation and characterization of viruses that infect specific hosts have greatly advanced our knowledge of the biological and ecological interactions between viruses and their hosts. Marine Roseobacter are abundant, ubiquitous and diverse in the ocean and play active roles in global biogeochemical cycling, especially the sulfur cycle. Currently, 32 bacteriophages that infect multiple lineages of roseobacters have been isolated and sequenced. These roseophages exhibit diverse morphologies, nucleic acid types and genomic features. Here, we provide the most up‐to‐date overview of roseophages. Most roseophages are host specific and have a wide range of genome sizes and open reading frames. Based on a genome‐wide comparison, at least eight distinctly different types of roseophages were identified, indicating their diversity. Lysogenic‐related and gene transfer agent‐related genes are commonly found in roseophage genomes, implying the importance of genetic transfer within roseobacters. This feature could provide the versatility for roseobacters to quickly adapt to the changing environments. A wide distribution range of roseophages in the global ocean, especially in coastal environments, has been observed, reflecting the cosmopolitan nature of the Roseobacter lineage.
The Long‐run Effects of Political Regimes and Economic Openness on Energy Intensity
Authors: Adom Philip Kofi 
Published: December 2018

AbstractThis study investigates the effects of trade openness and political regimes on energy intensity, using the case of Ghana in sub‐Saharan Africa. The study adopts the Stock–Watson dynamic OLS to deal with the problems of endogeneity and serial correlation. The findings reveal that while openness reduces energy intensity, democracy increases it. The latter result can be attributed to the existence of pressure interest groups, rent‐seeking behaviour, high corruption, regulatory failures and the lack of coordination that characterize Ghana's democratic governance. Further results reveal a significant role for the price of energy in terms of reducing energy intensity.
Measurement and Determinants of Food Poverty: A Dynamic Analysis of Nigeria's First Panel Survey Data

Published: December 2018

AbstractUsing an improved food poverty line, this paper provides the first dynamic food poverty analysis for Nigeria, accounting for urban‐rural income and price differentials. Estimates from the General Household Survey (GHS) longitudinal data reveal that about half of the population was food‐poor in 2013. The proportion of the population that slipped into food poverty within the periods under study (2010–13) far outweighs those that moved out of food poverty. After controlling for households’ socio‐economic and demographic characteristics in a multivariate analysis, large initial household size, unemployment, and low levels of initial education are identified as key factors that keep households in food poverty over time. This, however, varies across rural and urban households.
Man about Town: Victorian Night Life and the Haymarket Saturnalia, 1840–1880
Authors: MCWILLIAM ROHAN 
Published: December 2018

AbstractThis article aims to establish night life and pleasure districts as historical problems. It examines as its case study the Haymarket in London's West End between 1840 and 1880 when the street was notorious for louche entertainments aimed at younger members of the nobility. A moral panic developed around the street, particularly concerned with the high level of prostitution. The article looks at the Argyll Rooms dance hall at the top of the Haymarket and the night houses (night clubs) in adjacent streets. The pleasures of these spaces are decoded in order to consider the role of night life in the making of the West End and of the Victorian imagination. A clean‐up campaign was driven by police and local rate payers who wanted to tame the Haymarket saturnalia which represented a threat to respectable society. Licentious behaviour clashed with systems of moral regulation. The article argues that the transformation of the Haymarket was part of larger changes that established the West End as a pleasure district open to a wider public.

Published: December 2018

Acid whey is generated during the manufacture of acidified dairy products, such as soft cheeses, acid casein ingredients and strained yoghurts. Examples of these whey‐based by‐products include Cottage cheese acid whey and Greek yoghurt acid whey. Alkalisation of acid whey at elevated temperatures (60 °C) precipitates calcium phosphate, which can be recovered and used as an ingredient. The novel application of a liquid–solid hydrocyclone in the size classification of calcium phosphate from heated and neutralised acid whey was investigated in this study. Factors influencing hydrocyclone performance were tested, and the technology was integrated into a membrane filtration‐based process for the production of milk mineral powders.

Published: December 2018

AbstractA fatal mix‐up of a hemofilter with a plasma separator occurred in 2011. The close resemblance between the two blood purification columns commonly used in Japan posed a fundamental risk for such mix‐ups. Both the in‐hospital case investigation committee and the relevant academic societies have independently proposed the modifications of the dialysate port (D port) of the plasma separator to avoid this type of misuse. To make these devices foolproof, medical professionals, including physicians and clinical engineers, and members of the Medical Technology Association of Japan discussed measures to prevent this type of recurrence. Since new standards were soon to be issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the modifications were temporarily postponed. In September 2016, the ISO released new standards for small‐bore connectors. The shape changes of the D port from the current slip‐in type (ISO8637) to the Luer lock type (ISO80369‐7) had been already approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan by the end of November 2018, including a temporal use of a converter to connect the current type of D port to the new type of blood circuit. We must address the next issue that the new standard and the older standard coexist in the clinical setting, which may create a new risk.

AimLow‐dietary intake is a common problem and cause of malnutrition during hospitalisation. This study aims to determine the current dietary intake and food sources of hospitalised adults in Ho Chi Minh City.MethodsParticipants were adult patients from six general public hospitals in a multi‐site survey undertaken in 2016. Dietary intakes for all foods consumed in the previous day were collected via interview using the 24 hours recall method. Nutritional status was assessed using Subjective Global Assessment or BMI.ResultsData were collected from 887 participants. Most food consumed in hospital was from non‐regulated foodservices. Food was self‐provided and home‐cooked (27.7%), bought from outside the hospital (13.6%), from the hospital canteen (16.8%) or a combination of these (39.4%). Only 1.3% of food was provided by the hospital. Energy intakes were very low with a median of 3550 kJ/day; and only 4.2% of participants met 100% of their energy requirements. Decreased appetite, fullness or restrictions due to medical indications were the most common reasons for low‐dietary intake. Malnourished participants were 2.2 times more likely to have low‐dietary intake compared to well‐nourished participants.ConclusionsNon‐regulated foodservices in hospital were not able to meet the dietary requirements of patients leading to hospital malnutrition. Standardisation of food from on‐site canteens, covering meal costs from universal medical insurance, and developing guides for food provisioning for patients’ families are potential solutions to improve patient nutritional status.

Published: December 2018

AbstractThe presence of unwanted competing flora has been the most common confounding factor in the enumeration of Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) using selective media such as mannitol‐yolk‐polymyxin B agar (MYPA). The objective of this study was to improve MYPA selectivity for B. cereus by supplementation with a second‐generation cephalosporin, cefuroxime. The performance of cefuroxime‐supplemented MYPA (cefu‐MYPA) was evaluated by comparison with original MYPA in 60 food products with established microbiological standards for B. cereus contamination. Cefu‐MYPA demonstrated superior recoverability and selectivity for B. cereus compared with original MYPA in most tested foods. B. cereus numbers on MYPA and cefu‐MYPA were 363.5 and 462.0 CFU/g, respectively. Competing flora on cefu‐MYPA was detected in significantly less samples (70%) compared to original MYPA (93%). In addition, the detection and isolation of suspected colonies were significantly improved in cefu‐MYPA because of the reduction or elimination of competing flora in all tested foods except fruit juice, indicating superior selectivity of the modified medium. Our findings suggest that cefuroxime supplementation of MYPA would markedly improve the detection rate of B. cereus, particularly in foods with high levels of indigenous flora.

Published: December 2018

AbstractMaturation provides whisky with a mild and smooth texture by removing the irritating alcoholic flavor. However, the precise mechanism by which the whisky flavor is improved through the maturation process remains unknown. In this study, we performed mesoscopic structural measurements—dynamic light scattering (DLS) and small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS)—to elucidate the relationship between the liquid structure and flavor maturation of whiskies. Both techniques detected two scattering components corresponding to the clusters formed by the extractives from oak casks during maturation, which are not present in the new make (freshly distilled whisky). Analyzing the scattering profiles revealed that only the small clusters increase in concentration during maturation. It is concluded the small cluster component is crucial for obtaining flavorful whiskies, while the large cluster component, whose concentration is independent of the maturation time, is related to the alcoholic irritation of the whiskies, as demonstrated by the sonication test.

SummaryUnder natural farming, environmental pathogenic microorganisms may invade and affect swine lungs, further resulting in lung lesions. However, few studies on swine lung microbiota and their potential relationship with lung lesions were reported. Here, we sampled 20 pigs from a hybrid herd raised under natural conditions; we recorded a lung‐lesion phenotype and investigated lung microbial communities by sequencing the V3‐V4 region of 16S rRNA gene for each individual. We found reduced microbial diversity but more biomass in the severe‐lesion lungs. Methylotenera, Prevotella, Sphingobium and Lactobacillus were the prominent bacteria in the healthy lungs, while Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, Sphingobium, Haemophilus and Phyllobacterium were the most abundant microbes in the severe‐lesion lungs. Notably, we identified 64 lung‐lesion‐associated OTUs, of which two classified to Mycoplasma were positively associated with lung lesions and 62 showed negative association including thirteen classified to Prevotella and six to Ruminococcus. Cross‐validation analysis showed that lung microbiota explained 23.7% phenotypic variance of lung lesions, suggesting that lung microbiota had large effects on promoting lung healthy. Furthermore, 22 KEGG pathways correlated with lung lesions were predicted. Altogether, our findings improve the knowledge about swine lung microbial communities and give insights into the relationship between lung microbiota and lung lesions.

Published: December 2018

AbstractBudgeting is used throughout all types of organizations and is a significant topic of accounting research. In order to advance the discussion of the benefits and drawbacks of budgeting, future budgeting research will benefit from a comprehensive review of the theories used by previous budgeting researchers. This literature review highlights the major theoretical perspectives and specific theories used in budgeting research as well as the common variables used and methodologies, among other observations of budgeting research in 249 articles. Although we find no cohesive theory of budgeting, we identify the importance of a unified thought process to budgeting research and provide insights for future work in the area.
All the eggs in one basket: Are island refuges securing an endangered passerine?

Published: December 2018

AbstractRefuges for threatened species are important to prevent species extinction. They provide protection from a range of environmental and biotic stressors, and ideally provide protection against all threatening processes. However, for some species it may not be clear why some areas are refuges and others are not. The forty‐spotted pardalote (Pardalotus quadragintus) is an endangered, sedentary, cryptic and specialised bird endemic to the island of Tasmania, Australia. Having undergone an extreme range contraction over the past century the species is now mostly confined to a few small offshore island refuges. Key threatening processes to the species include habitat loss, wildfire, competition and predation. The ways in which these processes have molded the species’ contemporary range have not been clearly evaluated. Furthermore, the security of the remnant population within refuges is uncertain. To overcome this uncertainty we assessed key threats and established the population status in known refuges by developing a robust survey protocol within an occupancy modelling framework. We discuss our results in the context of planning trial reintroductions of this endangered species in suitable habitat across its former range. We found very high occupancy rates (0.75–0.96) at two refuges and in suitable conditions, the species was highly detectable (p, 0.43–0.77). At a third location our surveys indicated a local extinction, likely due to recent wildfire. We demonstrate that all refuges are at high risk of one or more threatening processes and the current distribution across island refuges is unlikely to secure the species from extinction. We identified large areas of potential habitat across the species’ former mainland range, but these are likely too distant from source populations for natural recolonisation. We propose that establishing new populations of forty‐spotted pardalotes via reintroduction is essential to secure the species and that this is best achieved while robust source populations still exist.
