Elevated Wall Tension Leads to Reduced miR‐133a in the Thoracic Aorta by Exosome Release
Authors: Akerman Adam W. , Blanding Walker M. , Stroud Robert E. , Nadeau Elizabeth K. , Mukherjee Rupak , Ruddy Jean Marie , Zile Michael R. , Ikonomidis John S. , Jones Jeffrey A. 
Published: December 2018

Background

Reduced miR‐133a was previously found to be associated with thoracic aortic (
TA
) dilation, as seen in aneurysm disease. Because wall tension increases with vessel diameter (Law of Laplace), this study tested the hypothesis that elevated tension led to the reduction of miR‐133a in the
TA
.

Methods and Results

Elevated tension (1.5 g; 150 mm Hg) applied to murine
TA
ex vivo reduced miR‐133a tissue abundance compared with
TA
held at normotension (0.7 g; 70 mm Hg). Cellular miR‐133a levels were reduced with biaxial stretch of isolated murine
TA
fibroblasts, whereas smooth muscle cells were not affected. Mechanisms contributing to the loss of miR‐133a abundance were further investigated in
TA
fibroblasts. Biaxial stretch did not reduce primary miR‐133a transcription and had no effect on the expression/abundance of 3 micro
RNA
‐specific exoribonucleases. Remarkably, biaxial stretch increased exosome secretion, and exosomes isolated from
TA
fibroblasts contained more miR‐133a. Inhibition of exosome secretion prevented the biaxial stretch‐induced reduction of miR‐133a. Subsequently, 2 in vivo models of hypertension were used to determine the effect of elevated wall tension on miR‐133a abundance in the
TA
: wild‐type mice with osmotic pump–mediated angiotensin
II
infusion and angiotensin
II
–independent spontaneously hypertensive mice. Interestingly, the abundance of miR‐133a was decreased in
TA
tissue and increased in the plasma in both models of hypertension compared with a normotensive control group. Furthermore, miR‐133a was elevated in the plasma of hypertensive human subjects, compared with normotensive patients.

Conclusions

Taken together, these results identified exosome secretion as a tension‐sensitive mechanism by which miR‐133a abundance was reduced in
TA
fibroblasts.
Evaluating Measures of Hospital Quality: Evidence from Ambulance Referral Patterns
Authors: Doyle Joseph , Graves John , Gruber Jonathan 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Hospital quality measures are crucial to a key idea behind health care payment reforms: “paying for quality” instead of quantity. Nevertheless, such measures face major criticisms largely over the potential failure of risk adjustment to overcome endogeneity concerns when ranking hospitals. In this paper, we test whether patients treated at hospitals that score higher on commonly used quality measures have better health outcomes in terms of rehospitalization and mortality. To compare similar patients across hospitals in the same market, we exploit ambulance company preferences as an instrument for hospital choice. We find that a variety of measures that insurers use to measure provider quality are successful: choosing a high-quality hospital compared to a low-quality hospital results in 10% to 15% better outcomes.
Agricultural Fires and Health at Birth
Authors: Rangel Marcos A. , Vogl Tom S. 
Published: December 2018

AbstractFire has long served as a tool in agriculture, but the practice's link with economic activity has made its health consequences difficult to study. Drawing on data from satellite-based fire detection systems, air monitors, and vital records in Brazil, we study how in utero exposure to smoke from sugarcane harvest fires affects health at birth. Exploiting daily changes in fire location and wind direction for identification, we find that late-pregnancy smoke exposure decreases birthweight, gestational length, and in utero survival. Fires less associated with smoke exposure predict improved health, highlighting the importance of disentangling pollution from its economic correlates.
Against Homogeneity. Transcultural and Trans-Lingual Strategies in Cultural Production
Authors: Rawski Tomasz , Falski Maciej 
Published: December 2018

Against Homogeneity. Transcultural and Trans-Lingual Strategies in Cultural ProductionThe key idea of the present volume of Colloquia Humanistica is the struggle against homogeneity. All the papers deal with the problem of homogenous narratives and homogenous practices, which most often falsify the complex reality of the human world. No matter if we look for examples in literature, cinema, or if we take a closer look at cultural institutions; our authors question the apparent uniformity which seems to lie behind the familiar categories we use to describe our everyday experience. The languages we speak, books we read, exhibitions we visit – they are supposed to use clearly defined categories with sharp boundaries and unified content. This unwritten agreement makes our life easier and helps us move through the labyrinth of social relations and cultural patterns. But what if we suddenly find out that one of those well-known categories does not suit the reality? Przeciwko jednorodności. Transkulturowe i transjęzykowe strategie w produkcji kulturowejGłównym wątkiem nowego numeru "Colloquia Humanistica" jest walka przeciw jednorodności. Wszystkie artykuły zmagają się z problemem jednorodnych narracji i jednorodnych praktyk, które najczęściej fałszują złożoną rzeczywistość ludzkiego świata. Przykłady możemy czerpać z literatury czy kina, możemy też przyjrzeć się bliżej instytucjom kulturalnym; autorzy i autorki w niniejszym numerze kwestionują rzekomą oczywistość, do której, jak się wydaje, odsyłają codziennie używane kategorie, służące nam do opisu codziennego doświadczenia. Nieważne, czy mówimy o językach, którymi się posługujemy, o książkach, które czytamy, czy o wystawach, jakie zwiedzamy; wszędzie tam zakładamy posługiwanie się jasno zdefiniowanymi kategoriami o ostrych granicach i jednorodnej treści. Ta niepisana umowa ułatwia nam życie i pomaga poruszać się w labiryncie relacji społecznych. A jednak co się dzieje, jeśli nagle odkrywamy, że jedna z tych dobrze znanych kategorii nie pasuje do rzeczywistości?
Russian: A Monocentric or Pluricentric Language?
Authors: Kamusella Tomasz 
Published: December 2018

Russian: A Monocentric or Pluricentric Language?All the world’s ‘big’ languages of international communication (for instance, English, French or Spanish) are pluricentric in their character, meaning, that official varieties of these languages are standardized differently in these states where the aforesaid languages are in official use. The only exception to this tendency is Russian. Despite the fact that Russian is employed in official capacity in numerous post-Soviet states and in Israel, it is still construed as a monocentric language whose single and unified standard is (and must be) solely controlled by Russia. From the perspective of sovereignty, this arrangement affords Moscow a degree of influence and even control over culture and language use in these countries where Russian is official. This fact was consciously noticed and evoked some heated discussions in Ukraine after the Russian annexation of the Ukrainian region of Crimea in 2014. However, thus far, the discussions have not been translated into any official recognition of (let alone encouragement for) state-specific varieties of the Russian language. Rosyjski: język monocentryczny czy pluricentryczny?Wszystkie „duże” języki komunikacji międzynarodowej na świecie (na przykład angielski, francuski lub hiszpański) są pluricentryczne, czyli oficjalne odmiany tych języków są inaczej standaryzowane w tych państwach, w których te języki są używane jako oficjalne. Jedynym wyjątkiem w tym zakresie jest język rosyjski. Pomimo faktu, że rosyjski funkcjonuje jako język oficjalny w wielu państwach postsowieckich oraz w Izraelu i Mongolii, to nadal uważa się go za język monocentryczny, którego normatywnie jednolity standard jest (i musi być) kontrolowany wyłącznie przez Rosję. Układ ten sprzeczny jest z zasadą suwerenności, bowiem zapewnia on Moskwie wpływ, a nawet kontrolę nad kulturą i używaniem języka w tych krajach, w których rosyjski to język urzędowy. Fakt ten został świadomie zauważony i wywołał gorące dyskusje w Ukrainie po rosyjskiej aneksji ukraińskiego regionu Krymu w roku 2014. Jak dotąd dyskusje te jednak nie przełożyły się na żadne oficjalne uznanie przez ukraińskie władze (nie mówiąc już o konkretnymwsparciu) ukraińskiej odmiany języka rosyjskiego.

Sustainable long-term WordNet development and maintenance: Case study of the Czech WordNetCzech WordNet represents one of the first national wordnets created during the EuroWordNet and BalkaNet projects. However, the data contains various issues that affect the use of Czech WordNet in NLP applications. Since the publication of the first CzWN version, the semantic network was augmented in several phases, however, complex final editing and publishing process has not been finished. In 2017, we have started a project to evaluate and update the Czech WordNet, followed by a connection to the Collaborative Interlingual Index. In this paper, we provide an overview of Czech WordNet data updates and extensions, and present the roadmap to publish a revised version of the Czech WordNet under open license. Moreover, we introduce a developed concept for long-term updates and maintenance of the data based on crowdsourcing activities.

Abstract
Shallow convection is a subgrid process in cloud-resolving models for which their grid box is larger than the size of small cumulus clouds (Cu). At the same time such Cu substantially affect radiation properties and thermodynamic parameters of the low atmosphere. The main microphysical parameters used for calculation of radiative properties of Cu in cloud-resolving models are liquid water content (LWC), effective droplet radius, and cloud fraction (CF). In this study, these parameters of fields of small, warm Cu are calculated using large-eddy simulations (LESs) performed using the System for Atmospheric Modeling (SAM) with spectral bin microphysics. Despite the complexity of microphysical processes, several fundamental properties of Cu were found. First, despite the high variability of LWC and droplet concentration within clouds and between different clouds, the volume mean and effective radii per specific level vary only slightly. Second, the values of effective radius are close to those forming during adiabatic ascent of air parcels from cloud base. These findings allow for characterization of a cloud field by specific vertical profiles of effective radius and of mean liquid water content, which can be calculated using the theoretical profile of adiabatic liquid water content and the droplet concentration at cloud base. Using the results of these LESs, a simple parameterization of cloud-field-averaged vertical profiles of effective radius and of liquid water content is proposed for different aerosol and thermodynamic conditions. These profiles can be used for calculation of radiation properties of Cu fields in large-scale models. The role of adiabatic processes in the formation of microstructure of Cu is discussed.
Probabilistic Forecasting of Snowfall Amounts Using a Hybrid between a Parametric and an Analog Approach
Authors: Scheuerer Michael , Hamill Thomas M. 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Forecast uncertainty associated with the prediction of snowfall amounts is a complex superposition of the uncertainty about precipitation amounts and the uncertainty about weather variables like temperature that influence the snow-forming process. In situations with heavy precipitation, parametric, regression-based postprocessing approaches often perform very well since they can extrapolate relations between forecast and observed precipitation amounts established with data from more common events. The complexity of the relation between temperature and snowfall amounts, on the other hand, makes nonparametric techniques like the analog method an attractive choice. In this article we show how these two different methodologies can be combined in a way that leverages the respective advantages. Predictive distributions of precipitation amounts are obtained using a heteroscedastic regression approach based on censored, shifted gamma distributions, and quantile forecasts derived from them are used together with ensemble forecasts of temperature to find analog dates where both quantities were similar. The observed snowfall amounts on these dates are then used to compose an ensemble that represents the uncertainty about future snowfall. We demonstrate this approach with reforecast data from the Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS) and snowfall analyses from the National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center (NOHRSC) over an area within the northeastern United States and an area within the U.S. mountain states.
The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Information Officer: The Strategic Partnership
Authors: Gupta Yash P. 
Published: December 2018

Information technology (IT) has become a strategic resource for many firms today. Coordination of this resource requires strong leadership and cooperation within the firm. The relationship of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Information Officer (CIO) is crucial for the effective, successful utilization of IT for competitive advantage. This paper first explores the CIO position, giving reasons for its development, tracing its evolution, and pinpointing certain responsibilities associated with the position. The paper then highlights the CIO's concerns and identifies the future implications for the CIO. The second portion of the paper takes the CEO's perspective towards IT and the CIO's position. Special attention is directed towards describing the CEO's perspective on the CIO's qualifications, addressing the problem of overblown CEO expectations for the CIO position, and discussing ‘old-line’ CEOs’ attitudes towards IT and the CIO position. Also addressed is the exploration of the common CEO perception of the CIO as an ‘empire builder’ and an analysis of the CEO's perspective on the future need for a CIO position. Finally the paper focuses on developing this ‘strategic partnership’ between the CIO and the CEO. Suggestions are provided for the CIO and the CEO to help achieve this ideal partnership. Although these suggestions are not all conclusive, they are critical to the ‘partnership’.
Computer-based Information Systems for Decentralized Rural Development Administration: A Case Study in India
Authors: Madon Shirin 
Published: December 2018

Administrative reform currently being undertaken in a number of developing countries is focusing on the introduction of microcomputers as a tool for the decentralization of rural development administration. Experience to date concerning these efforts reveals that the key determinants of successful implementation of the technology are associated with organizational factors rather than hardware and software. However, these factors have been inadequately addressed in the literature on information technology in developing countries and empirical research drawing on experience of individual projects in developing countries is needed. To this end, this paper describes the case of the Computerized Rural Information Systems Project (CRISP) which is a government initiative to promote decentralization of rural development management in India. The interaction between formal, government-approved guidelines for rural development management and informal practice at the local level is examined. The findings reveal that the diffusion of technology has not been accompanied with changes to local work, decision and administrative processes.
