Articulación de procesos, flujos de información y conocimiento bajo criterios de infoconocimiento y sostenibilidad en el reporte corporativo
Authors: Alba Marisleidy , Beltrán Torres César 
Published: December 2018

La crisis ambiental, social y de credibilidad demanda a las organizaciones reportes corporativos que den cuenta de sus prácticas empresariales, de sostenibilidad y transparencia; este artículo busca identificar las condiciones necesarias y las potencialidades que trae la articulación del reporte integrado (RI) propuesto por el Internacional Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) y el modelo de Gestión de infoconocimiento para cadenas de suministro (Giccs). El desarrollo de la investigación se basa en un análisis cualitativo conceptual, por medio de una comparación de las categorías que fundamentan el modelo Giccs y el RI, validada con una revisión y clasificación de la literatura. Dentro de los resultados más relevantes están el identificar que el RI se construye por medio de información, por tal razón, requiere una gestión de los flujos de información y de conocimiento de las áreas y procesos de la organización; al involucrar el Giccs se garantiza la integración de los flujos de información y de conocimiento. Otro hallazgo fue ubicar al RI como un aliado fundamental en la identificación de los flujos de información y conocimiento que deben ser gestionados, de tal suerte que por medio del modelo Giccs se pueda definir una estructura clara para estos flujos, y así también se permitan integrar elementos para aportar a los procesos organizacionales y finalmente su integración a escalas superiores. El modelo de gestión del infoconocimiento Giccs y el RI se cohesionan para garantizar en el proceso de confección del reporte la estandarización de las entradas, el registro de información, conservación y circulación de la información y el conocimiento, contribuyendo con una mejor relevación organizacional y con ello a la transparencia y a la confianza en la sociedad.

Published: December 2018

Usando una muestra de pequeñas y medianas empresas colombianas, investigamos el efecto del proceso de convergencia contable sobre dieciséis factores contables y financieros, para el cierre de 2015. En el presente artículo se analiza la significancia estadística de las variaciones de la información contable presentada bajo la normatividad contable colombiana y las normas internacionales de información financiera (NIIF). Observamos, en términos generales, que se presentan efectos cuantitativos significativos para los factores analizados, excepto para el retorno sobre el patrimonio. Hallamos, igualmente, que los efectos del proceso de convergencia contable mantienen su significancia cuando se observa su sensibilidad a la actividad económica desempeñada por la empresa y el tipo de sociedad constituida; y no lo son cuando se analizan los resultados respecto del tamaño y la antigüedad empresarial.

Caedmon on the Continent: The Heliand Prefaces and Bernlef
Authors: Veenbaas Redbad 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Firstly, this article addresses the influence of the story of the Anglo-Saxon singer Caedmon by Bede on two texts about religious poets on the continent: the Bernlef episodes in the Lives of Liudger and the Heliand Prefaces. Secondly, the question will be addressed whether a connection between the Heliand Prefaces and the Bernlef episodes can be found. Finally, a new light is shed on the discussion about the identity of the poet of the Heliand.
The result of a comparison between the profiles of the Heliand poet and Bernlef is as follows: 1) they were laymen, the Heliand poet at least at the time of his divine vocation; 2) they were held in great esteem by their people/neighbours as a poet/singer; 3) they were considered the best/a very good poet in the Thiudisc language; 4) after a divine miracle they focus on the adaptation of passages from the Holy Scripture; 5) the testimony of these miracles should not be doubted because of the ‘studium’ of the poets; 6) references to the story of Caedmon by Bede; 7) tradition of their stories on the continent between approximately 845 and 875.
These similarities could imply that Bernlef was the author of the Heliand. At the very least, the poet of the Heliand (according to the Prefaces) was someone that closely resembled Bernlef.
Chenopodium luteorubrum (Chenopodiaceae/Amaranthaceae sensu APG): a remarkable new species from the Russian Far East
Authors: MANDÁK BOHUMIL , LOMONOSOVA MARIA N. , MOSYAKIN SERGEI L. 
Published: December 2018

Chenopodium luteorubrum is described as a new species of Chenopodiaceae (Amaranthaceae sensu APG) from coastal habitats along the Sea of Japan in the Russian Far East. It has been demonstrated that this allohexaploid species (2n = 6x = 54) combines in its genome the subgenomes ‘A’ (closely related to or inherited from C. bryoniifolium), ‘C’ (unknown or extinct species), and ‘D’ (C. acuminatum s. l.). That subgenome combination is unique; it differs from the combination in C. album s. str. and closely related hexaploid taxa, which have ‘B’ (derived from C. ficifolium/C. suecicum), ‘C’, and ‘D’ subgenomes. Here we describe and illustrate the new species and provide information on its evolution, ecology, morphology, karyology, and distribution. The new species is compared with morphologically somewhat similar taxa C. album s. str. (hexaploid), C. suecicum (diploid), C. betaceum s. l. (C. strictum auct., tetraploid), and C. acuminatum (diploid).

Seven steady-state temperature profiles are logged in the Harbin Area, Northeast China. The temperature data illustrate high conductive thermal gradients with a mean value of 4.78°C/100 m. Temperature maps at depths of 1000, 1500, and 1800 m are represented. The present temperature field is cooling southeastward, with the highest thermal gradients being observed at the junction zone between the Central Depression and the Southeast Uplift of the Songliao Basin. The recoverable heat is calculated using a volumetric method and Monte Carlo simulation. The mean value for recoverable heat from the detailed exploration area around the Harbin Area is 1.052 × 1019 J (3.59 × 1011 t standard coal). Geological controls on the present temperature fields are discussed.
The environmental factors that influence technology adoption for older adults with age-related vision loss
Authors: McGrath Colleen , Corrado Ann Marie 
Published: December 2018

Introduction With the increasing proportion of older adults aging with vision loss, low-vision assistive devices can help to support occupational engagement; however, such devices are grossly underused among this population. The overarching purpose of this project was to examine the environmental factors that influence technology adoption for older adults with age-related vision loss. Methods A one-day workshop, which utilized a variety of hands-on methods including Show & Tell, Technology Interaction, and an “App” Assessment activity, was conducted. A total of 19 participants attended the workshop, including 10 older adults with age-related vision loss, six caregivers, one healthcare provider, and two technology industry professionals. Results A total of four themes emerged, including: (1) making life harder; (2) relying on support networks; (3) factoring in the pragmatics; and (4) not me, not yet. These themes illustrate the various ways that environmental factors, including physical, social, cultural, and institutional/political factors, influence decision-making regarding technology adoption by older adults with age-related vision loss. Conclusion This paper demonstrates several environmental factors that influence low-vision assistive device adoption among older adults with age-related vision loss. With their holistic view of clients, including an appreciation for environmental influences, occupational therapists are well positioned to help identify those environmental barriers limiting low-vision assistive device adoption and use.
The toileting habit profile questionnaire: Examining construct validity using the Rasch model
Authors: Beaudry-Bellefeuille Isabelle , Bundy Anita , Lane Alison , Ramos Polo Eduardo , Lane Shelly J 
Published: December 2018

Introduction Preliminary reports support the hypothesis that sensory issues may be related to atypical defecation habits in children. Clinical practice in this area is limited by the lack of validated measures. The toileting habit profile questionnaire was designed to address this gap. Methods This study included two phases of validity testing. In phase 1, we used Rasch analysis of existing data to assess item structural validity, directed content analysis of recent literature to determine the extent to which items capture clinical concerns, and expert review to validate the toileting habit profile questionnaire. Based on phase 1 outcomes, we made adjustments to toileting habit profile questionnaire items. In phase 2, we examined the item structural validity of the revised toileting habit profile questionnaire. Results Phase 1 resulted in a 17-item questionnaire: 15 items designed to identify habits linked to sensory over-reactivity and two designed to identify sensory under-reactivity and/or poor perception items. The analysis carried out in phase 2 supported the use of the sensory over-reactivity items. Remaining items can be used as clinical observations. Conclusion Caregiver report of behaviour using the revised toileting habit profile questionnaire appears to adequately capture challenging defecation behaviours related to sensory over-reactivity. Identifying challenging behaviours related to sensory under-reactivity and/or perception issues using exclusively the revised toileting habit profile questionnaire is not recommended.

Published: December 2018

Background Global challenges in the development of a highly skilled and motivated nursing workforce jeopardise the delivery of high-quality care. Flexible and innovative workforce solutions are required to overcome these challenges. Aims To describe the implementation and present the preliminary evaluation of the ‘Chief Nurse Excellence in Care Junior' bespoke Fellowship initiative designed to develop the foundational clinical and academic skills of front-line junior clinical staff. Methods This initiative was developed and piloted at a large, inner-city, acute NHS trust. The initiative involved two main components: a bespoke development programme and an improvement project that was supported by clinical and academic mentors. The initiative was evaluated using structured feedback, case studies and data on dissemination activities. Results Six front-line nurses completed the first cohort of the initiative that commenced in spring 2016. Results showed a positive impact on professional development relating to the acquisition of new knowledge and skills. Case studies of projects had a demonstrable impact on patient experiences, outcomes and cost savings. Wider organisational and NHS impact was demonstrated through multiple dissemination activities. Conclusion This preliminary evaluation provides evidence that this initiative is a sustainable, clinically driven career development opportunity at a foundational level that has a demonstrable positive impact on care and staff development. Further work is underway to carry out a longitudinal structure, process and outcome evaluation with particular focus on impact.
An In Vitro Study to Determine the Feasibility of Combining Bone Marrow Concentrate with BST-CarGel as a Treatment for Cartilage Repair
Authors: Snow Martyn , Williams Richard , Pagkalos Joseph , Grover Liam 
Published: December 2018

Objective The study aims were to determine whether BST-CarGel, a chitosan scaffold for cartilage repair, can be mixed with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) to create a cell seeded implant with comparative properties to standard BST-CarGel mixed with blood. Design Whole blood and bone marrow were harvested from 12 patients who underwent cartilage repair surgery using BMAC after informed consent. A validated in vitro testing model was used to assess the following 6 conditions: (1) BST-CarGel mixed with whole blood (CG-WB), (2) BST-CarGel mixed with bone marrow (CG-BM), (3) BST-CarGel mixed with bone marrow concentrate (CG-BMAC), (4) whole blood (WB), (5) bone marrow (BM), and (6) bone marrow concentrate and batroxobin (BMAC-BTX). Cell retention and viability within the BST-CarGel/BMAC clots were investigated. Results In our study, BM and BMAC (processed using the Harvest, SmartPrep2 system and reactivated with batroxibin) when combined with BST-CarGel produced a product that had similar clot contraction, macroscopic properties, and histological appearance to standard BSTCarGel mixed with blood. Mononucleated cells from the BMAC were retained within the scaffold and remained viable until clot dissolution in vitro. Conclusions By combining BST-CarGel with BMAC in the manner described, bone marrow–derived mononucleated cells can be retained within the chondral defect potentially negating the need for microfracture. Further in vivo work is required to confirm these potential benefits and determine if this combination will result in more durable cartilage repair and improved clinical outcomes.

BackgroundRecent studies demonstrated the positive impact of neoadjuvant treatment in locally advanced gastric cancer.ObjectiveTo assess the accuracy of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in the selection of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma for neoadjuvant therapy (T ≥ 2 and/or N+).MethodsRetrospective analysis of patients with an anatomopathological diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma between January 2011 and June 2017, who had EUS for staging and underwent surgery as a first therapeutic attempt. The concordance (k) and accuracy (area under the curve (AUC)) of EUS for T ≥ 2 and/or N+ were assessed using the anatomopathological staging of the resected surgical specimen as the gold standard.ResultsThe final sample included 152 patients (66.4% male, 67.1 ± 12.2 years). The concordance, accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the EUS for T ≥ 2 and/or N+ were 0.72, 0.86 ± 0.03, 88.5% and 83.1%, respectively. The results were higher in proximal (k = 0.93, AUC = 0.96 ± 0.05, sensitivity (S) = 99.0% and specificity (E) = 90.9%) compared with distal lesions (k = 0.67, AUC = 0.84 ± 0.04, S = 85.7% and E = 81.5%), and in intestinal subtype (k = 0.77, AUC = 0.88 ± 0.04, S = 92.6% and E = 84.1%) compared with diffuse (k = 0.58, AUC = 0.79 ± 0.10, S = 85.0% and E = 72.7%) or mixed‐subtype tumours (k = 0.65, AUC = 0.84 ± 0.10, S = 76.9% and E = 90.0%).ConclusionIn one of the largest series of patients, we showed that EUS has overall high agreement and accuracy in the selection of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma for neoadjuvant therapy, although the agreement and accuracy are greater for proximal and intestinal lesions.
Hunting in archerfish – an ecological perspective on a remarkable combination of skills
Authors: Schuster Stefan 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACTArcherfish are well known for using jets of water to dislodge distant aerial prey from twigs or leaves. This Review gives a brief overview of a number of skills that the fish need to secure prey with their shooting technique. Archerfish are opportunistic hunters and, even in the wild, shoot at artificial objects to determine whether these are rewarding. They can detect non-moving targets and use efficient search strategies with characteristics of human visual search. Their learning of how to engage targets can be remarkably efficient and can show impressive degrees of generalization, including learning from observation. In other cases, however, the fish seem unable to learn and it requires some understanding of the ecological and biophysical constraints to appreciate why. The act of shooting has turned out not to be of a simple all-or-none character. Rather, the fish adjust the volume of water fired according to target size and use fine adjustments in the timing of their mouth opening and closing manoeuvre to adjust the hydrodynamic stability of their jets to target distance. As soon as prey is dislodged and starts falling, the fish make rapid and yet sophisticated multi-dimensional decisions to secure their prey against many intraspecific and interspecific competitors. Although it is not known why and how archerfish evolved an ability to shoot in the first place, I suggest that the evolution of shooting has strongly pushed the co-evolution of diverse other skills that are needed to secure a catch.

Currently, 18F FDG-PET and 18F FDG-PET/CT are widely used for diagnosis and monitoring of lymphomas. The majority of aggressive lymphomas are characterized by high glycolytic activity, which enables the visualization by using 18F FDG-PET/CT. The use of PET/CT makes it possible to clarify the stage of the disease in 10–30 % of patients, with additional tumor sites typical for advanced stage of lymphomas, which in turn effects on treatment and disease prognosis. The 18F FDG-PET/CT has the advantage over other methods of radiation diagnosis in detecting bone marrow lesions in patients with lymphomas. It has been shown that 18F FDG-PET/CT performed at early stages of chemotherapy allows differentiating patients with favorable lymphoma, which is sufficient for standard therapy and high-risk patients who require more intensive treatment with high-dose regimens of chemotherapy. After completion of therapy over 60 % of patients with HL and 40 % with aggressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, have residual masses containing necrotic and/or fibrotic tissue and residual neoplastic cells. 18F FDG-PET and 18F FDG-PET/CT has been shown to be useful in identifying residual masses in 30–64 % of patients, by demonstration of persistent metabolic activity on FDG-PET. Between 62–100 % of patients with residual FDG-positive masses have been shown to relapse after first-line chemotherapy. Identification of patients with partial response to chemotherapy indicates the need for continued treatment. New radiopharmaceuticals for the diagnosis of lymphoma and evaluation of therapy effectiveness are developed. Such promising radiopharmaceuticals are 18F fluorothymidine, a biomarker of cellular proliferation and Ga-68 CXCR4, a chemokine receptor imaging biomarker.
