The experiences of non‐Muslim, Caucasian licensed marriage and family therapists working with South Asian and Middle Eastern Muslim clients
Authors: Arshad Zara , Falconier Mariana K. 
Published: January 2018

AbstractThis qualitative study investigated the experiences of eight non‐Muslim, Caucasian licensed marriage and family therapists working with South Asian and Middle Eastern Muslim clients. Semi‐structured interviews were used to examine the challenges and benefits that resulted from ethnic/racial and religious differences in therapy with clients of this population, and the strategies used or suggested by therapists in managing these differences. The data were analysed using thematic analysis and the themes that emerged were organized based on the areas of inquiry. Participants reported several challenges, including managing clients’ therapy expectations, engaging clients in therapy, understanding and accepting differences, and staying neutral. Participants described strategies they used and made recommendations on how to manage these challenges, including being aware of and acknowledging these differences and clarifying roles in therapy. Participants also identified benefits that derived from ethnic/racial and religious differences, such as finding it easier to make clients the experts and being able to provide an outsider perspective to clients.Practitioner points

Non‐Muslim, Caucasian MFTs should be prepared to experience some challenges, but also some benefits, when working with South Asian and Middle Eastern Muslim clients

When working with this population, managing bias might be hard for therapists, and may require ongoing attention and work

Recommendations provided by therapists in this study might be useful in managing the challenges that might arise from ethnic/racial and religious differences when working with the South Asian and Middle Eastern Muslim population
Culture and reflexivity: systemic journeys with a British Chinese family
Authors: Teh Yang Yang , Lek Evonne 
Published: January 2018

AbstractThis paper describes a reflective space created between two Singaporean Chinese systemic psychotherapists and a British Chinese family – the Chans. The family attended the Marlborough Cultural Therapy Centre (MCTC) in London and was given two separate culture‐specific systemic treatments by different therapists, which were reflected upon collaboratively with the Chans. A brief literature review of British Chinese and mental health, culture and reflexivity is described. The authors discuss clinical implications including the impact of British Chinese cultures and the effect of mental health issues on the family. The process and outcomes of the treatment are explained using the frame of reflexivity. Clinical implications discussed include the impact of British Chinese cultures and the effects of schizophrenia and anxiety on the family.Practitioner pointsReflexivity is an interactional process creating change through repeated awareness, reflection and action related to our similarities and differencesThis process may helpfully guide practitioners through therapeutic journeysReflexivity is especially important when considering both similarities and differences – even when the therapist is working with clients from a similar (ethnic) cultureInvolving clients in the writing process enhances reflexivity for both therapists and clients and in itself can be thought of as a further intervention
Disaster myths among disaster response professionals and the source of such misconceptions
Authors: Nogami Tatsuya 
Published: January 2018

This study examined how pervasive disaster myths would be among disaster response professionals (n = 401) compared to lay people (n = 600), as well as sources of disaster myths among them. Results revealed that both of the groups believed five common disaster myths to some extent. Moreover, the mass media had a positive association with only one myth among these professionals, while the media was positively associated with all the five myths among lay people. In summary, the present findings indicated that disaster response professionals were not more insightful into all the myths than lay people, and that the mass media and popular culture were not the principal sources of the disaster myths among these professionals.

SummaryIn a 54 m3 large‐scale penicillin fermentor, the cells experience substrate gradient cycles at the timescales of global mixing time about 20–40 s. Here, we used an intermittent feeding regime (IFR) and a two‐compartment reactor (TCR) to mimic these substrate gradients at laboratory‐scale continuous cultures. The IFR was applied to simulate substrate dynamics experienced by the cells at full scale at timescales of tens of seconds to minutes (30 s, 3 min and 6 min), while the TCR was designed to simulate substrate gradients at an applied mean residence time () of 6 min. A biological systems analysis of the response of an industrial high‐yielding P. chrysogenum strain has been performed in these continuous cultures. Compared to an undisturbed continuous feeding regime in a single reactor, the penicillin productivity (qPenG) was reduced in all scale‐down simulators. The dynamic metabolomics data indicated that in the IFRs, the cells accumulated high levels of the central metabolites during the feast phase to actively cope with external substrate deprivation during the famine phase. In contrast, in the TCR system, the storage pool (e.g. mannitol and arabitol) constituted a large contribution of carbon supply in the non‐feed compartment. Further, transcript analysis revealed that all scale‐down simulators gave different expression levels of the glucose/hexose transporter genes and the penicillin gene clusters. The results showed that qPenG did not correlate well with exposure to the substrate regimes (excess, limitation and starvation), but there was a clear inverse relation between qPenG and the intracellular glucose level.

SummaryVietnam is one of the most important countries for pig domestication, and a total of 26 local breeds have been reported. In the present study, genetic relationships among the various pig breeds were investigated using 90 samples collected from local pigs (15 breeds) in 15 distantly separated, distinct areas of the country and six samples from Landrace pigs in Hanoi as an out‐group of a common Western breed. All samples were genotyped using the Illumina Porcine SNP60 v2 Genotyping BeadChip. We used 15 160–15 217 SNPs that showed a high degree of polymorphism in the Vietnamese breeds for identifying genetic relationships among the Vietnamese breeds. Principal components analysis showed that most pigs indigenous to Vietnam formed clusters correlated with their original geographic locations. Some Vietnamese breeds formed a cluster that was genetically related to the Western breed Landrace, suggesting the possibility of crossbreeding. These findings will be useful for the conservation and management of Vietnamese local pig breeds.

Published: January 2018

ObjectivesThis research explored residential aged care (RAC) workplace design features that influence how RAC staff feel valued, productive, safe, like they belong and connected. A secondary aim was to validate emerging themes about RAC design features with stakeholders.MethodsA multistage qualitative study was conducted in one RAC facility with 100 residents in outer metropolitan Melbourne: (i) photo‐elicitation – photographs were used to prompt discussions with RAC staff; (ii) individual interviews with RAC directors; and (iii) validity testing with the advisory committee occurred.ResultsKey workplace design features that influenced how RAC staff feel valued, productive, safe, like they belong and connected included the following: (i) home‐like environment; (ii) access to outdoor spaces; (iii) quality indoor environment; and (iv) access to safe, open and comfortable workplaces.ConclusionsKey workplace design features that matter to RAC staff in a ‘shared workspace’ exist. Increasing demands upon RAC requires evidence‐based workplace design policy and evaluation approaches that support RAC staff to work in RAC shared workspaces.
The Development of Selective Trust: Prospects for a Dual‐Process Account
Authors: Hermes Jonas , Behne Tanya , Rakoczy Hannes 
Published: January 2018

AbstractYoung children learn selectively from reliable rather than unreliable models. Yet the question of what cognitive processes this early selectivity builds on remains unanswered. One line of research suggests that rational trait reasoning might be the basis of young children's selective trust, while others suggest less sophisticated processes. In this article, we provide an overview of the development of selective trust and introduce a new theoretical framework to explain the seemingly divergent findings. Young children's selective trust can best be explained by assuming two kinds of underlying cognitive processes: one fast, implicit, and heuristic process that provides default judgments, and one systematic, slow, and effortful process that intervenes under specific circumstances. We discuss findings in light of this framework and propose testable predictions for research.
The State of the Art in Vortex Extraction
Authors: Günther Tobias , Theisel Holger 
Published: January 2018

AbstractVortices are commonly understood as rotating motions in fluid flows. The analysis of vortices plays an important role in numerous scientific applications, such as in engineering, meteorology, oceanology, medicine and many more. The successful analysis consists of three steps: vortex definition, extraction and visualization. All three have a long history, and the early themes and topics from the 1970s survived to this day, namely, the identification of vortex cores, their extent and the choice of suitable reference frames. This paper provides an overview over the advances that have been made in the last 40 years. We provide sufficient background on differential vector field calculus, extraction techniques like critical point search and the parallel vectors operator, and we introduce the notion of reference frame invariance. We explain the most important region‐based and line‐based methods, integration‐based and geometry‐based approaches, recent objective techniques, the selection of reference frames by means of flow decompositions, as well as a recent local optimization‐based technique. We point out relationships between the various approaches, classify the literature and identify open problems and challenges for future work.
Heidelberg interaction training for language promotion in early childhood settings (HIT)
Authors: Buschmann Anke , Sachse Steffi 
Published: January 2018

AbstractBeside parents, teachers in early childhood education and care have the greatest potential to foster language acquisition in children. This is especially important for children with language delays, language disorders or bi‐/multilingual children. However, they present teachers with a particular challenge in language support. Therefore, integrated language facilitation programmes are needed to promote language acquisition in the daily routine of daycare facilities and kindergartens. In this article, the Heidelberg Interaction Training for Language Promotion in Early Childhood Settings (HIT) is presented as a systematic approach to improve daily interactions between preschool teachers and children. This group training comprises six half‐day sessions over a period of six months. The objective is to expand teachers’ knowledge about language development in general and more specifically regarding children with language problems or bi‐/multilingual children. Furthermore, teachers learn a responsive interaction style and various strategies of language modelling by means of video supervision and feedback. Teachers’ satisfaction with the training has been evaluated and its efficacy in terms of changes in their behaviour and children's language performance has been proven in several intervention studies and meta‐analytic reviews. Lastly, implementation considerations for lasting effects following the HIT are discussed.
Toward a Resource‐Based View of City Quality: A New Framework

Published: January 2018

AbstractBased on an extensive literature review on intelligent cities, smart cities, and happy cities, and on their conceptual connections with citizens' well‐being, quality of life, and happiness, we developed a resource‐based view on City Quality: the PESNAT (political, economic, social, natural, artificial, and technological) framework. The concept of City Quality rests on the idea of cities interconnected sub‐habitats—PESNAT—which are powerful analytical categories needed for understanding cities as complex and intricate loci. This framework eventually aims at assessing the cities' power to attract businesses and people, to contribute to a sustainable development of the city and an increased quality of life. Furthermore, two hypotheses are outlined regarding the level of importance of each sub‐habitat in relation to happiness, and the level of controversy of each one for citizens, city planners, and decision makers.

AimTo evaluate the long‐term outcome of stereotactic body radiotherapy in patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma who were ineligible for resection or ablation therapies.MethodsA total of 65 patients with 74 hepatocellular carcinomas (median tumor size 16 mm) were enrolled in the present study. They were treated with the prescribed dose of 48 Gy in four fractions at the isocenter. We extended the observation period and analyzed long‐term outcomes, including overall survival, progression‐free survival, local control, and various prognostic factors, in these patients.ResultsThe median follow‐up period was 41 months for all patients and 62 months for surviving patients. The 3‐ and 5‐year overall survival rates were 56.3% (95% confidence interval, 44.1–68.5%) and 41.4% (95% confidence interval, 28.7–54.1%), respectively. The 3‐ and 5‐year progression‐free survival rates were 25.4% (95% confidence interval, 14.0–36.8%) and 10.6% (95% confidence interval, 1.5–19.8%), respectively. The 3‐ and 5‐year local control rates were both 100% (95% confidence interval 100%). Liver toxicities exceeding grade 3 were observed in 15 patients (23.1%). The proportion of patients who had grade ≥3 toxicities did not increase. Adverse effects (grade ≤2) presented as significant prognostic factors of overall survival, while TNM stage (T1N0M0) was a significant prognostic factor of progression‐free survival after multivariate analysis.ConclusionsStereotactic body radiotherapy was effective for patients with small hepatocellular carcinomas who were ineligible for resection or ablation therapies. The incidence of grade ≥3 adverse effects did not increase, even after longer follow‐up times.
The plutocratic bias in the Indian consumer price index
Authors: NACHANE Dilip M. , CHAUBAL Aditi 
Published: January 2018

AbstractStudies have found a plutocratic bias in the traditional Laspeyres‐type consumer price index (CPI), attaching greater importance to expenditure by rich households compared to the poor, while the democratic CPI attaches equal weight to all. The authors calculate the democratic index and estimate the plutocratic bias for the new Indian CPI (launched in 2012), the rural and urban CPIs, and the CPIs of three Indian states from 2012 to 2015. They further develop democratic indices for commodity groups and separate indices for three expenditure brackets. The biases found against less developed states and the poorer sections of the population have important implications for monetary policy and indexation of transfer payments.
A Rawlsian Case for Economic Nationalism: Globalisation and Distributional Autonomy in the Law of Peoples
Authors: Schrepfer Matthew 
Published: January 2018

AbstractJohn Rawls’ resistance to any kind of global egalitarian principle has seemed strange and unconvincing to many commentators, including those generally supportive of Rawls’ project. His rejection of a global egalitarian principle seems to rely on an assumption that states are economically bounded and separate from one another, which is not an accurate portrayal of economic relations among states in our globalised world. In this article, I examine the implications of the domestic theory of justice as fairness to argue that Rawls has good reason to insist on economically bounded states. I argue that certain central features of the contemporary global economy, particularly the free movement of capital across borders, undermine the distributional autonomy required for states to realise Rawls’ principles of justice, and the domestic theory thus requires a certain degree of economic separation among states prior to the convening of the international original position. Given this, I defend Rawls’ reluctance to endorse a global egalitarian principle and defend a policy regime of international capital controls, to restore distributional autonomy and make the realisation of the principles of justice as fairness possible.
Optimal Culture Temperature for Larval and Juvenile Pigfish, Orthopristis chrysoptera
Authors: Faulk Cynthia K. , Oberg Erik W. , Thompson Kathryn L. , Fuiman Lee A. 
Published: January 2018

AbstractPigfish, Orthopristis chrysoptera, is a candidate for aquaculture because it is a regionally popular marine baitfish and commercial production could increase its supply and reduce fishing pressure on wild populations. Identifying optimal conditions for pigfish growout is needed for efficient production. We investigated the effects of temperature on growth and survival from hatching to market size at five constant temperatures, ranging from 22 to 30 C. Larval survival was greatest at 22 C, but growth was slowest. Complete mortality of larvae at 30 C occurred by 6 d after hatch, suggesting an upper thermal limit between 28 and 30 C. For juveniles, growth in length and weight was greatest at 28 and 30 C, but there were no differences in survival among temperatures. The predicted upper thermal limit for juveniles is 35 C. Results indicate that maximum growth and survival would be achieved by rearing larvae at 24 C and juveniles at 28 C. Under this temperature schedule, pigfish would reach preferred market sizes of 7.6 cm (for bay fishing) and 15 cm (for offshore fishing) after 2.5 and 4 mo of culture, respectively.

Shapes of chondrules determined from the petrofabric of the CR2 chondrite NWA 801

Published: January 2018

AbstractThe approximately spherical shapes of chondrules has long been attributed to surface tension acting on ~1 mm melt droplets that formed and cooled in the microgravity field of the solar nebula. However, chondrule shapes commonly depart significantly from spherical. In this study, 109 chondrules in a sample of CR2 chondrite NWA 801 were imaged by X‐ray computed tomography and best‐fitted to ellipsoids. The analysis confirms that many chondrules are indeed not spherical, and also that the chondrules’ collective shape fabric records a definite 13% compaction in the host meteorite. Dehydration of phyllosilicates within chondrules may account for that strain. However, retro‐deforming all chondrules shows that a large majority were already far from spherical prior to accretion. Possible models for these initial shapes include prior deformation of individual chondrules in earlier hosts, and, as suggested by previous authors, rotation of chondrules as they were solidifying, and/or “streaming” of molten chondrules by their differential velocities with their gaseous hosts after melting. More in situ 3‐D work such as this study on a variety of unequilibrated chondrites, combined with detailed structural petrography, should help further constrain these models and refine our understanding of chondrite formation.
Unearthing belowground bud banks in fire‐prone ecosystems

Published: January 2018

SummaryDespite long‐time awareness of the importance of the location of buds in plant biology, research on belowground bud banks has been scant. Terms such as lignotuber, xylopodium and sobole, all referring to belowground bud‐bearing structures, are used inconsistently in the literature. Because soil efficiently insulates meristems from the heat of fire, concealing buds below ground provides fitness benefits in fire‐prone ecosystems. Thus, in these ecosystems, there is a remarkable diversity of bud‐bearing structures. There are at least six locations where belowground buds are stored: roots, root crown, rhizomes, woody burls, fleshy swellings and belowground caudexes. These support many morphologically distinct organs. Given their history and function, these organs may be divided into three groups: those that originated in the early history of plants and that currently are widespread (bud‐bearing roots and root crowns); those that also originated early and have spread mainly among ferns and monocots (nonwoody rhizomes and a wide range of fleshy underground swellings); and those that originated later in history and are strictly tied to fire‐prone ecosystems (woody rhizomes, lignotubers and xylopodia). Recognizing the diversity of belowground bud banks is the starting point for understanding the many evolutionary pathways available for responding to severe recurrent disturbances.
Acute renal replacement therapy during hospitalization: Is training adequate?
Authors: Palevsky Paul M. 
Published: January 2018

AbstractAcute renal replacement therapy is one of the most common interventions provided by nephrologists, however, data on the quality of training provided to nephrology fellows is limited. Extensive curricula for acute renal replacement therapy and the management of poisonings and intoxications have been published, but personal experience suggests that there are significant opportunities to improve training. Particular areas to be considered include the use of novel technologies for assessment of volume status, greater emphasis on the dosing of medications during acute renal replacement therapy, greater training in assessing and tailoring treatment to the goals of care of the individual patient, incorporation of continuous quality improvement tools into the management of acute renal replacement therapy programs and development of robust simulation training to augment training.
