When children are not ‘the left behind’: Transnational practices of intra-regional mobility in the South Pacific
Authors: Torre Andreea R. , Cangiano Alessio 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Much of the traditional literature on migration in the South Pacific describes Pacific Islands as countries of permanent out-migration directed towards the Rim countries. Yet over the past two decades there has been considerable diversification of the routes and patterns of South Pacific mobility. This article, by focusing on emerging mobility trajectories between Pacific Island Countries, ventures into the scarcely studied arena of intra-regional migration with a case study of Nauruan migrant families in Fiji. Conceptually, this research is positioned within the literature on transnationalism. Yet most studies on transnational family migration have focused on ‘South–North’ migration routes; emphasized the impacts of both economic and social remittances on local communities at origin; and identified migratory patterns characterized by family separation, with parents ‘on the move’ and children and older family members ‘left-behind’. This article, which relies on a mix-method approach integrating quantitative data and qualitative information, provides a complementary perspective highlighting the centrality of education as primary driver of the migration process, the pivotal role of children in the construction of transnational social fields and the intersections between institutional structures, self-initiated practices of movement and kinship relations in shaping the family migratory trajectories.

Authors: Chandrasekhar Dilip , Dollychan Athira , Roy Bincy Mary , Cholamughath Shinu , Parambil Jaffer Chalil 
Published: August 2018

Abstract

Background:
A prospective observational study was carried out over a period of 6 months among the inpatients and outpatients in the departments of general medicine, urology, obstetrics, and gynecology of a tertiary level referral hospital in south Malabar region of Kerala to assess the prevalence of various bacterial isolates and their changing susceptibility to antimicrobial agents and to evaluate the pattern of antibiotic utilization in urinary tract infection (UTI).

Methods:
A total of 680 samples were analyzed from December 2015 to May 2016; among them, only 74 patients met the inclusion criteria. Of the 74 patients, 53 were female and 21 were male. Female patients were found to be significantly higher in number in the age group of 61–70years. The maximum number of UTI cases was reported from the general medicine department.

Results:
The disease was more significantly portrayed in suburbans (47%) and rural (38%) population compared with urbans (15%). Fever (60.81%) and dysuria (48.64%) were the most common symptoms. Diabetes (34%) was found to be the major predisposing factor followed by postmenopausal factors (24%), previous UTI (14%), renal disease (9%), benign prostatic hypertrophy (8%), smoking (7%), and oral contraceptives (4%). Escherichia coli was the major isolate (n=36) followed by Klebsiella (n=13), Citrobacter (n=8), Enterococcus (n=7), Enterobacter (n=4), Pseudomonas (n=3), coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (n=2), and Proteus (n=1). Majority of patients were prescribed with cefoperazone+sulbactum (n=28) followed by levofloxacin (n=25) and nitrofurantoin (n=10). Cumulative antibiogram was prepared as the final step of the study using the WHONET 5.6 software. Gram-negative organisms such as E. coli, Klebsiella, and Citrobacter showed higher susceptibility toward piperacillin-tazobactum, cefoperazone-sulbactam, imipenem, meropenem, amikacin, and netilmicin. Gram-positive organisms such as Enterococcus showed higher susceptibility toward piperacillin-tazobactum, cefoperazone-sulbactam, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, vancomycin, and linezolid.

Conclusions:
In our setting, routine culture may be necessary as treatment failure with empirical therapy is likely to occur.
Uniformity and the Delta Method
Authors: Kasy Maximilian 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
When are asymptotic approximations using the delta-method uniformly valid? We provide sufficient conditions as well as closely related necessary conditions for uniform negligibility of the remainder of such approximations. These conditions are easily verified by empirical practitioners and permit to identify settings and parameter regions where pointwise asymptotic approximations perform poorly. Our framework allows for a unified and transparent discussion of uniformity issues in various sub-fields of statistics and econometrics. Our conditions involve uniform bounds on the remainder of a first-order approximation for the function of interest.
A Hybrid Grey Wolf Optimiser Algorithm for Solving Time Series Classification Problems
Authors: Nsour Heba Al , Alweshah Mohammed , Hammouri Abdelaziz I. , Ofeishat Hussein Al , Mirjalili Seyedali 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
One of the major objectives of any classification technique is to categorise the incoming input values based on their various attributes. Many techniques have been described in the literature, one of them being the probabilistic neural network (PNN). There were many comparisons made between the various published techniques depending on their precision. In this study, the researchers investigated the search capability of the grey wolf optimiser (GWO) algorithm for determining the optimised values of the PNN weights. To the best of our knowledge, we report for the first time on a GWO algorithm along with the PNN for solving the classification of time series problem. PNN was used for obtaining the primary solution, and thereby the PNN weights were adjusted using the GWO for solving the time series data and further decreasing the error rate. In this study, the main goal was to investigate the application of the GWO algorithm along with the PNN classifier for improving the classification precision and enhancing the balance between exploitation and exploration in the GWO search algorithm. The hybrid GWO-PNN algorithm was used in this study, and the results obtained were compared with the published literature. The experimental results for six benchmark time series datasets showed that this hybrid GWO-PNN outperformed the PNN algorithm for the studied datasets. It has been seen that hybrid classification techniques are more precise and reliable for solving classification problems. A comparison with other algorithms in the published literature showed that the hybrid GWO-PNN could decrease the error rate and could also generate a better result for five of the datasets studied.
From single-case analysis of neonatal deaths toward a further reduction of the neonatal mortality rate
Authors: Sander André , Wauer Roland 
Published: August 2018

Abstract

Background
The infant mortality rate (IMR), a key indicator of the quality of a healthcare system, has remained at approximately 3.5‰ for the past 10 years in Germany. Generic quality indicators (QIs), as used in Germany since 2010, greatly help in ensuring such a good value but do not seem to be able to further reduce the IMR. The neonatal mortality rate (NMR) contributes to 65–70% of the IMR. We therefore propose single-case analysis of neonatal deaths as an additional method and show an efficient way to implement this approach.

Methods
We used the Nordic-Baltic classification (NBC) to detect avoidable neonatal deaths. We applied this classification to a sample of 1968 neonatal death records, which represent over 90% of all neonatal deaths in East Berlin from 1973 to 1989. All cases were analyzed as to their preventability based on the complete perinatal and clinical data by a special commission of different experts. The NBC was automatically applied through natural language processing and an ontology-based terminology server.

Results
The NBC was used to select the group of cases that had a high potential of avoidance. The selected group represented 6.0% of all cases, and 60.4% of the cases within that group were judged avoidable or conditionally avoidable. The automatic detection of malformations showed an F1 score of 0.94.

Conclusion
The results show that our method can be applied automatically and is a powerful and highly specific tool for selecting potentially avoidable neonatal deaths and thus for supporting efficient single-case analysis.
There is No Teleological Suspension of the Ethical: Kierkegaard’s Logic Against Religious Justification and Moral Exceptionalism
Authors: Fox-Muraton Mélissa 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
In The Book on Adler and “Does a Human Being Have the Right to Let Himself Be Put to Death for the Truth,” Kierkegaard relies on logical reasoning and grammatical analysis in order to arrive at categorical normative conclusions against the use of religious belief and authority as a justification for ethical action. These arguments demonstrate that some types of moral knowledge can be arrived at through reason/logic, despite Kierkegaard’s efforts to separate the spheres of logic and existence. Kierkegaard thereby offers a strong critique of both moral exceptionalism and an ethics of conviction, a critique which—as the paper argues—is not incompatible with his existential and Christian ethics.
Kierkegaard on Variation and Thought Experiment
Authors: Helms Eleanor 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Do thought experiments provide “evidence” or just new mental frameworks? Current accounts of thought experiment turn to theories of reason and explanation rather than perception to explain how thought experiments work. I offer Kierkegaard’s own view of thought experiment, which is influenced by Kantian idealism rather than scientific empiricism. Drawing on philosophical research in aesthetics, I then show how all perception is a hybrid of sensory content and conceptual structures. On this Kantian-Kierkegaardian account, thought experiments help us see differently and gain new evidence through new kinds of experiences. My project retrieves the original Danish context of the term “thought experiment” [Tankeexperiment] and offers a new understanding of thought experiments as both sensory and conceptual, like perception itself.
Subjectivity and Ambiguity: Anxiety and Love in Kierkegaard
Authors: Houmark Amanda 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
This paper seeks to emphasize the connection between the concepts of anxiety and love as central phenomena in both Kierkegaard’s anthropology and ethics. Through the analysis of these two concepts, which Kierkegaard says “to be in the ground of man,” this paper argues that love or purity of heart should not be seen as an alternative or solution to anxiety or ambiguity. Instead, it suggests that understanding the two concepts jointly unveils how the single individual in subjectivity is in a constant flux between entangling oneself in a self-enclosed reserve on the one hand and opening up to the risks of being on 70,000 fathoms of water and yet being joyful on the other hand.
Anti-Climacus’ Inverted Dialectic of Divine Grace and Human Activity
Authors: Li Elizabeth 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
This article will show that the relationship between divine grace and human activity in the Anti-Climacus works should be understood as an inverted dialectic. Although Anti-Climacus communicates the strictness of Christianity and the importance of undertaking the Christian task, I will argue that the Anti-Climacus works are ultimately aimed at deepening the reader’s understanding of grace. By exploring Anti-Climacus’ accounts of human imagination and will in coming to faith and in the task of following Christ, it becomes clear that human activity ultimately reveals human beings’ limitations and their dependence on grace.
Recognition, Self-Recognition, and God: An Interpretation of The Sickness unto Death as an Existential Theory of Self-Recognition
Authors: Lundsgaard-Leth Kresten 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
In this paper, I reconstruct the understanding of selfhood in The Sickness unto Death. Using Leo Tolstoy’s character Ivan Ilyich, I argue that one can become alienated from oneself, although one is completely socially recognized. I critically engage this reconstruction with the theories of social agency of Axel Honneth and Robert Pippin and the existentialism of Jean-Paul Sartre. In the end, Anti-Climacus offers a notion of self-relating selfhood, which keeps a balance between the radical self-construction of Sartre and the theories of social dependency of Honneth and Pippin by understanding “God” as the necessity of having irreducibly personal reasons for becoming oneself.
A Portrait of Spiritlessness in the Age of Leveling
Authors: Parding Mathias G. 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Since the spirit of the time greatly influences the individual, Kierkegaard becomes increasingly aware of a socio-political environment in which a specific psychological character is molded, namely that of spiritlessness. Consequently, my primary objective in this paper will be to examine how this character manifests itself as a socio-psychological phenomenon in the age of leveling. How does spiritlessness constitute what we can call a pathology of normality as an emblematic despair of the age? In trying to answer this question I hope to clarify the reason for Kierkegaard’s increasingly problematic relation to his time. Since the intimate relationship between the concept of spiritlessness and leveling is given the most systematic account in Two Ages, most of the contributions in this paper will derive from this work.
Andreas Frederik Beck’s Review of Kierkegaard’s On the Concept of Irony
Authors: Muench Paul 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
This article provides an English translation (with commentary) of Andreas Frederik Beck’s review of Kierkegaard’s On the Concept of Irony. Beck’s review is notable for its detailed, scholarly discussion of Kierkegaard’s text. While Beck draws attention to the unusual style of Kierkegaard’s dissertation and to Kierkegaard’s occasional use of irony, he does not treat the dissertation as itself ironic in overall form or intent. Kierkegaard’s response to this review, in which he makes the rare acknowledgement that Beck “has come quite close to having understood” him, provides indirect textual support for thinking that Beck is right in regarding Kierkegaard’s treatise on irony as a serious, scholarly work that is not itself essentially ironic.

Published: August 2018

Abstract
The aim of the study was to isolate moderately halophilic bacteria that produce proteolytic enzymes with industrial biotechnological value. Screening of halophiles from various saline habitats, led to the isolation of 210 moderately halophilic bacteria producing industrially important hydrolases; such as proteases, which are enzymes that hydrolyze the peptide bonds of proteins, represent one of the three groups of industrial enzymes. The present study of halophilic bacteria, producing proteases and isolated from different saline soils of Sonora State, was divided in two parts: the first part included screening of moderately halophiles bacteria collected from various regions, while the second part consisted of enzyme production by fermentation in liquid medium in flask. Three strains of bacteria with potential proteolytic activity (BLRMAM1066, BLCLAM1064, PPSE3AM1053) were selected to continue the electrophoresis and zymogram tests, obtaining molecular weights from 19 to 193 kDa. One of the a priori objectives of this research is to have a collection of halophilic bacteria with high proteolytic activity
Value Perception of Information Sources in the Context of Learning
Authors: Raban Daphne Ruth , Rusho Yonit 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Information sources require consumers to use them in order to evaluate their quality, meaning that they are experience goods. The value perceived before acquisition and use may be different from the value obtained by actual use. Understanding the value perception gap is likely to inform more efficient selection of information sources. The current research studies the value gap in a learning situation. We examine information value perceptions before and after experiencing information in an experiment with 113 software engineers engaged in a problem-based learning task while using and evaluating three types of information sources: supportive, reflective and reciprocal. The results indicate that before using an information source, the subjective value for supportive information is lower than for reflective information. In addition, 55% of the participants preferred to obtain information when presented with a choice. After using an information source no correlation was observed between perceived value of information before and after the use of information source (value gap); participants assigned a higher user experience (UX) value to reflective and reciprocal information than to supportive information; positive correlation between UX value and revealed information value; positive correlation between learning achievement and revealed information value; Reciprocal information is associated with higher learning achievement than reflective and supportive; use of information led to higher learning achievement than avoidance of information. Reciprocal information supports high achievement in software engineering informal learning. Reflective information is valued higher than supportive information sources. If supportive information is essential, learning environments designers should invest heavily in interface design combining reciprocal and reflective elements, such as forums and "try it yourself", respectively
