Imagining the Good Place: Public Services and Family Strategies in Rural Ecuador
Authors: Pratt Eleanor E. , Warner Mildred E. 
Published: August 2018

AbstractRecent scholarship seeks to lift up alternatives to neoliberalism that build community well‐being and a sense of place. This study follows three families in a rural highland Ecuadorean community and their investments in human capital, family businesses, and migration. It applies a human ecological model to show how complex ideologies around community well‐being, such asbuen vivir(living well), are articulated at the macroscale and experienced at the meso‐ and microscales through investments in public services and their impact on rural families. Our collaborative ethnography elevates families’ voices to show how they both experience and envision community well‐being. We incorporate human capabilities and a community capitals framework to show how investments and ideologies flow across scales. We highlight the role of local social capital and regional territorial dynamics that support both economic growth and social inclusion. Our collaborative ethnography illustrates how rural residents imagine the good place (buen lugar), a resilient foundation from which they can build their family strategies. However, we find that lack of political and financial investment truncates active citizenship at the local scale, limiting the ability to achieve the full promise ofbuen vivir.
Alternative sputum collection methods for diagnosis of childhood intrathoracic tuberculosis: a systematic literature review
Authors: Ioos Vincent , Cordel Hugues , Bonnet Maryline 
Published: August 2018

BackgroundDiagnosis of intrathoracic tuberculosis (ITB) is limited in children partly by their difficulty to produce sputum specimen.ObjectiveTo systematically review the detection yields of mycobacterial culture and Xpert MTB/RIF from induced sputum (IS), nasopharyngeal aspirate (NPA) and gastric aspirate (GA) in children with presumptive ITB.DesignPubmed, Embase and Biosis databases and grey literature were searched. Randomised controlled trials, cohort, cross-sectional or case control studies using IS, GA and NPA for diagnosis of ITB published between January 1990 and January 2018 were included. Data were extracted on study design, case definition of presumptive ITB, sample collection methods, outcome measures and results.Results30 studies were selected, including 11 554 children. Detection yields for culture ranged between 1% and 30% for IS, 1% and 45% for GA and 4% and 24% for NPA. For Xpert MTB/RIF, it was between 2% and 17% for IS, 5% and 51% for GA and 3% and 8% for NPA. There was a tendency of better yields with IS when the pretest probability of ITB was low to moderate and with GA when it was high. Sampling a second specimen contributed for 6%–33% of the cumulative yield and combination of different methods significantly increase the detection yields.ConclusionsDespite the important study heterogeneity, any of the specimen collection methods offers good potential to confirm childhood ITB. However, their operational challenges were poorly evaluated. In the absence of a sensitive non-sputum based test, only a minority of children with ITB can be confirmed.
Mini-Flash Crashes, Model Risk, and Optimal Execution
Authors: Bayraktar Erhan , Munk Alexander 
Published: August 2018

Oft-cited causes of mini-flash crashes include human errors, endogenous feedback loops and the nature of modern liquidity provision. We develop a mathematical model which captures aspects of these explanations. Empirical features of recent mini-flash crashes are present in our framework. For example, there are periods when no such events will occur. If they do, even just before their onset, market participants may not know with certainty that a disruption will unfold. Our mini-flash crashes can materialize in both low and high trading volume environments and may be accompanied by a partial synchronization in order submission. Instead of adopting a classically-inspired equilibrium approach, we borrow ideas from the optimal execution literature. Each of our agents begins with beliefs about how his own trades impact prices and how prices would move in his absence. They, along with other market participants, then submit orders which are executed at a common venue. Naturally, this leads us to explicitly distinguish between how prices actually evolve and our agents’ opinions. In particular, every agent’s beliefs will be expressly incorrect.
Constraint-aware software-defined network for routing real-time multimedia
Authors: Oginni Oluwaseyi , Bull Peter , Wang Yonghao 
Published: August 2018

Traditional Ethernet-based IP networks do not have the capability to provide the Quality of Service (QoS) required for professional real-time multimedia applications. This is because they operate on a best-effort network service model that does not provide service guarantee. Network operators and service providers require a novel network architecture to efficiently handle the increasing demands of this changing network domain. Software-Defined Networking has emerged as an effective network architecture that decouples the control plane and data plane, which makes it capable of handling the dynamic nature of future network functions and intelligent applications while reducing cost through simplified hardware, software, and management.
This paper presents an SDN architecture for real-time low latency applications that offer adaptive path provisioning based on the calculated end-to-end delay, available bandwidth, and traditional shortest path first algorithm. The SDN architecture utilises the Ryu OpenFlow application programming interface (API) to perform real-time monitoring to collect network statistics and computes the appropriate paths by using this information. The experiment to ascertain the feasibility and evaluate the effectiveness of this approach is carried out in an emulated network environment using Mininet.
Technology Acquisition in Korea’s Automobile Industry
Authors: Kim Ga Hyung , Mah Jai S. 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
The automobile industry developed very rapidly in Korea from the mid-1970s onwards. In the early stage of its development, it used both foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows and technology licensing contracts to utilize advanced foreign technologies. The government mainly preferred technology licensing to FDI inflows to gain access to production technologies. A specific case of FDI is displayed in the joint venture between General Motors and Daewoo Motors. Although there were several improvements and assistances provided to the latter, its performance was relatively unsatisfactory. In contrast, Hyundai Motors relied on technology licensing, which turned out to be successful. Korea’s experience of technology acquisition in the automobile industry shows that for a developing country considering development of its own automobile industry, it would be beneficial to utilize technology licensing rather than FDI inflows.
Old Ideas for New Times: Radical History in International Political Economy
Authors: Williams Gregory P. 
Published: August 2018

AbstractThis article suggests that the field of international political economy (IPE) would benefit from greater engagement with radicalism. Radical political economy (RPE) continues to be a relevant counterweight to moderate forms ofIPE. Radicalism is portrayed in this work as a vision of history, distinct from static and evolutionary interpretations of the past. And, like their moderate counterparts, radicals are divided as to what will happen in the twenty-first century. Some scholars believe that the capitalist nation-state system will stabilize, while others predict it will transform into some type of post-capitalist and post-national system. By pairing visions of history with expectations for the future, this article offers a typology of six distinct world-historical opinions. It concludes that radicals offer an important alternative perspective to the writings of moderates and yet, in being split about the future, are remarkably similar to others wrestling with questions of transformation.
The Fukushima Disaster and the Framing of Nuclear Energy in India
Authors: Deb Nikhil 
Published: August 2018

AbstractMost research on Fukushima has been directed at technical and epidemiological aspects; yet the ways in which emerging nuclear powers such as India have responded to the meltdown is inadequate. This article investigates (1) the Fukushima meltdown as an epitome of risk associated with nuclear energy to understand what role this disaster has played in the Indian nuclear energy policy; and (2) whether the Indian nuclear authority has renewed its effort to shape the public mind in favor of nuclear safety in the wake of a deadly nuclear disaster in Fukushima. I use content analysis of statements made by nuclear personnel in response to the Fukushima meltdown from newspaper articles published in five major English-language newspapers in India. The findings suggest that the Fukushima meltdown has little impact on India’s nuclear energy policy. Instead, the Indian nuclear authority uses language to shape the public opinion surrounding nuclear energy.
the place of government programs in weather modification*
Authors: Kahan Archie M. 
Published: August 2018

The activities which are grouped together as “weather modification” cover a wide range and have important differences as well as similarities. Many governmental agencies in pursuing long standing interests in the relation of the atmosphere to their missions, have become involved in individual weather modification programs which are similar enough to prompt the assumption that their efforts are empire building, duplicative and competitive. Study of the details of what is going on provides little evidence that serious empire building or duplicative efforts are the rule.
Cooperation and coordination exist between Federal agencies but should be improved particularly in the areas of planning for the future and attracting the participation of the additional skilled people.

Published: August 2018

Introduction: We have been developing a closed-circuit cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) system (“Dihead CPB”) for application during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and valve surgery. To strive for minimal hemolysis during Dihead CPB, we compared the hemolysis caused by three different suction systems and performed a clinical study with the newly applied suction system. Materials & Methods: We evaluated the hemolysis caused by roller-pump suction, the SmartSuction® Harmony® and wall suction systems with respect to suction speed and compared the systems by means of in vitro studies. A clinical study was also performed on 15 volunteers to assess hemolysis and the adequacy of the newly applied suction system with Dihead CPB. Results: Pressure inside the suction cannula was −22.5 ± 0.1 mmHg at a maximum flow of 1.5 L/min for roller-pump suction and −43.4 ± 0.1 mmHg at −150 mmHg of the set vacuum pressure of wall suction. With the SmartSuction, the pressure inside the cannula varied from −76.3 ± 1.0 to −130.3 ± 1.5 mmHg, depending on suctioning conditions. Suction speed (to suction 50 ml of blood) was fastest with the SmartSuction (69.7 ± 3.58 s) whereas, with roller suction, it was 117.3 ± 8.47 s and with wall suction 96.9 ± 7.10 s. The SmartSuction had the highest hemolysis rate (2.00 ± 0.33%) vs. 0.61 ± 0.10% for roller suction and 0.41 ± 0.11% for wall suction (p<0.001). The clinical study with wall suction showed no significant increase in plasma free hemoglobin during or after CPB compared with before surgery. Conclusions: Wall suction had less hemolysis than roller suction or the SmartSuction in the in vitro study and the clinical study with wall suction showed efficient suction speed and acceptable hemolysis, suggesting that Dihead CPB with wall suction is feasible for CABG.

Authors: Parsa Ali , Azizbaig Mohajer Mohammad , Mirzaie Maryam 
Published: August 2018

Background: Rigorous haemostatic control and careful rehabilitation are essential for haemophilic patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). Aim: to examine the current literature regarding THA in patients with haemophilia in order to determine clinical outcomes and complication rates. Methods: We included 11 case reports/series and 9 original articles. There was a total of 206 patients who underwent 226 THAs. Findings: The number of patients enrolled in the selected articles varied from 1 in case reports to 34 in the original articles. Gender was documented in 10. Mean age at surgery was 41 years. Mean follow-up was 73 months (standard deviation [SD] 35 months). All but 4 articles specified whether implants were cemented or uncemented, with 95% being uncemented, 3.5% being cemented, and 1.5% being hybrid (uncemented acetabular component, cemented femoral stem). Conclusion: Controlled hypotensive anaesthesia (to reduce preoperative blood loss), consult with haematologist, precise control of haemostasis status per the guidelines defined by the World Federation joint replacement, can improve the success rate and hip replacement surgery can be performed safely.

Published: August 2018

Inhaled iloprost is an effective therapy for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH); however, some patients experience extended inhalation times when using the V10 formulation (10.0 µg/mL) to deliver a 5 ‐µg dose (at mouthpiece) and are at risk of incomplete inhalations and reduced inhalation frequency. VENTASWITCH was an observational, case‐crossover study to evaluate inhalation behavior in patients with PAH switched from iloprost V10 to V20 (20.0 µg/mL) formulation for delivering a 5 ‐µg dose using the I‐Neb® AAD® device. Adults with PAH participating in a German Ventavis® (iloprost) patient‐support program, who were switched from the V10 to V20 formulation, were enrolled. The co‐primary endpoints were mean daily proportion of complete inhalations and mean daily inhalation frequency. The secondary endpoint was mean daily inhalation duration. Data were collected for three months before and after switching. Overall, 63 patients were included. Switching from V10 to V20 resulted in a significant increase in the mean daily proportion of complete inhalations (92% vs. 97%, P < 0.0001) and inhalation frequency (4.6 vs. 4.9 inhalations/day, P = 0.0430), and reduction in mean inhalation duration (11.8 vs. 6.5 min; P < 0.0001). Greater increases in daily proportions of complete inhalations were observed in older patients (≥ 65 vs. < 65 years) and those receiving more (3 vs. < 3) concomitant PAH medications. Switching from V10 to V20 iloprost formulation significantly improved inhalation behavior in patients with PAH and may facilitate improved adherence to therapy.

Background. The copper intrauterine device is one of the most safe, effective, and cost-effective methods for preventing unintended pregnancy. It can be used post-partum irrespective of breastfeeding to improve birth spacing and reduce unintended pregnancy and maternal-child mortality. However, this method remains highly underutilized. Methods. We developed a multi-level intervention targeting supply, demand, and sustainability to increase uptake of the post-partum intrauterine device (PPIUD, defined as insertion up to six weeks post-delivery) in Kigali, Rwanda. High-volume hospitals and health centers were selected for implementation of promotions and service delivery. Formative work informed development of a PPIUD promotional flipchart delivered in-clinic (during antenatal care, labor and delivery, or infant vaccination visits) or in the community. Two-day PPIUD didactic counseling, insertion/removal, and follow-up trainings were provided to labor and delivery and family planning nurses followed by a mentored practicum certification process. Stakeholders were involved from intervention development through dissemination of results. Results. Two hospitals (and their two associated health centers) and two health centers were selected. In the 6-months prior to our intervention, only one nurse and one midwife from each hospital were providing PPIUD services, and just 46 PPIUDs had been placed at the selected health facilities. From August 2017-July 2018, we trained 83 promotional agents and 39 providers to provide PPIUD services. N=9,073 women received PPIUD promotions who later delivered at a selected health facility, and of those n=2,633 had PPIUDs inserted (29% uptake). Most PPIUDs (60%) were inserted within 10 minutes of delivery of the placenta, with an additional 13% intra-cesarean, 17% between 10 minutes and 48 hours after delivery, and 8% between 4 and 6 weeks after delivery. Conclusions. This successful, comprehensive intervention has the potential to make a significant impact on PPIUD uptake in Rwanda. The intervention is scalable and adaptable to other sub-Saharan African countries.

Namun saat ini, hakim Indonesia sedang dilanda krisis integritas. Terlihat dari banyaknya pelanggaran terhadap pedoman perilaku hakim, ditambah banyaknya deretan hakim yang tertangkap tangan terlibat kasus korupsi.
Long-term dynamics of flora of karst lakes: Changes and current state
Authors: Belyakov E. A. , Garin E. V. 
Published: August 2018

Long-term observations of the rates and pattern of changes in flora and vegetation contribute to understanding of one of the most important contemporary global problems, the eutrophication of water bodies. In this study, using classical floristic methods, we attempt to determine (for a period of almost 80 years) the nature and possible causes of changes in the floristic composition of the lakes of karst origin, Velikoe and Parovoe (Pustinskaya lake-river system, the right bank of Nizhny Novgorod oblast). The paper shows that over a long period of observations a significant transformation of the vegetation cover has occurred in the lakes. The process was accompanied by the disappearance of a number of native species and appearance of others, including adventitious ones (for example, Elodea canadensis Michx., Zizania latifolia (Griseb.) Stapf, Bidens frondosa L. and Epilobium adenocaulon Hausskn.). The weak saturation of the flora with adventive species indicates that the reservoirs are subject to moderate anthropogenic transformation. This is also indicated by the presence of characteristic indicator species, for example, Najas minor All., Glyceria fluitans (L.) R. Br., Hydrocharis morsus-ranae L. and Stratiotes aloides L. in the plant communities. In addition, the studied water bodies are subject to a further increase in the degree of eutrophication. This can be judged by scattered records of Potamogeton trichoides Cham. et Schlecht., the disappearance of a number of species (such as Elatine alsinastrum L. and Callitriche hermaphroditica L.), as well as the presence of a significant number of macrophyte indicators of the eutrophic state of water bodies. We suggest that a gradual increase in the trophicity of the studied water bodies is due to a combination of anthropogenic impact (water withdrawal for economic needs, recreational load), natural and climatic features of the region (alternation of high and low water periods) and the natural succession processes associated with the current fundamental changes in the conditions of the runoff formation in the Volga River basin. As a result of studies conducted by authors in 2014–2015, it has been shown that in general the taxonomic and ecological structures of the flora of both lakes are quite diverse and traditional for the territory and the European part of Russia. Meanwhile, the flora of these two reservoirs insignificantly differs in taxonomic composition, which is due to their individual morphometric characteristics, the physical and chemical properties of the aquatic environment, and the nature of the anthropogenic load. At the same time, the equilibrium balance of coastal and aquatic plants in the flora of Lake Parovoe (in contrast to Lake Velikoe) indicates a degree of successional stability of its floristic complex.
