Prokobiecość w kształtowaniu wizerunku pracodawcy
Authors: Bukowska Urszula 
Published: August 2017

W artykule ukazano zależność występującą między ułatwieniami oferowanymi kobietom przez pracodawców a ich wizerunkiem na rynku pracy. Przedstawiono model kształto‑ wania wizerunku pracodawcy. Ukazano także jakie ułatwienia są oferowane kobietom przez pracodawców. Stwierdzono, że pozytywnie wpływają one zarówno na osiąganie przez kobiety równowagi praca – życie jak i na wizerunek pracodawcy. Ważne jednak, by oferowane ułatwienia były zbieżne z oczekiwaniami pracowników, a jak wynika z badań, ten warunek często nie jest spełniony

Efektywność mechanizmu dopasowań na rynku pracy w UE
Authors: Idczak Piotr 
Published: August 2017

Relacja pomiędzy liczbą wakatów a bezrobociem, przedstawiona na podstawie krzywej Beveridge’a, wykazała, iż na unijnym rynku pracy nastąpił wzrost nieefektywności funk‑ cjonowania mechanizmu dopasowań w porównaniu z okresem sprzed kryzysu. Krzywa Beveridge’a przesunęła się w prawo, co oznacza, że mógł się ukształtować nowy krótko‑ okresowy punkt równowagi rynkowej, charakterystyczny dla okresu spowolnienia gospo‑ darczego, determinowany w znacznej mierze przez czynniki realne o charakterze niecy‑ klicznym. Przyczynami występującego niedopasowania na rynku pracy UE są głównie niewłaściwe przygotowanie zawodowe pracowników, stosunkowo sztywne ramy prawne regulujące funkcjonowanie polityki rynku pracy, a także niska mobilność wewnątrzunijna mieszkańców.

Published: August 2017

AbstractIntroduction: Poor access of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people to healthcare providers with clinical and cultural competency contributes to health inequalities between heterosexual/cisgender and LGBT people. This systematic review assesses the effect of educational curricula and training for healthcare students and professionals on LGBT healthcare issues.Methods: Systematic review; the search terms, strategy and process as well as eligibility criteria were predefined and registered prospectively on PROSPERO. A systematic search of electronic databases was undertaken. Screening for eligible studies and data extraction were done in duplicate. All the eligible studies were assessed for risk of bias. The outcome of interest was a change in participants’ knowledge, attitude and or practice.Results: Out of 1171 papers identified, 16 publications reporting 15 studies were included in the review. Three were non‐randomized controlled studies and 12 had a pre/post‐design; two had qualitative components. Bias was reported in the selection of participants and confounding. Risk reported was moderate/mild. Most studies were from the USA, the topics revolved around key terms and terminology, stigma and discrimination, sexuality and sexual dysfunction, sexual history taking, LGBT‐specific health and health disparities. Time allotted for training ranged from 1 to 42 hours, the involvement of LGBT people was minimal. The only intervention in sub‐Saharan Africa focused exclusively on men who have sex with men. All the studies reported statistically significant improvement in knowledge, attitude and/or practice post‐training. Two main themes were identified from the qualitative studies: the process of changing values and attitudes to be more LGBT inclusive, and the constraints to the application of new values in practice.Conclusions: Training of healthcare providers will provide information and improve skills of healthcare providers which may lead to improved quality of healthcare for LGBT people. This review reports short‐term improvement in knowledge, attitudes and practice of healthcare students and professionals with regards to sexual and LGBT‐specific healthcare. However, a unified conceptual model for training in‐terms of duration, content and training methodology was lacking.
Applying Nyquist's method for stability determination to solar wind observations
Authors: Klein Kristopher G. , Kasper Justin C. , Korreck K. E. , Stevens Michael L. 
Published: August 2017

AbstractThe role instabilities play in governing the evolution of solar and astrophysical plasmas is a matter of considerable scientific interest. The large number of sources of free energy accessible to such nearly collisionless plasmas makes general modeling of unstable behavior, accounting for the temperatures, densities, anisotropies, and relative drifts of a large number of populations, analytically difficult. We therefore seek a general method of stability determination that may be automated for future analysis of solar wind observations. This work describes an efficient application of the Nyquist instability method to the Vlasov dispersion relation appropriate for hot, collisionless, magnetized plasmas, including the solar wind. The algorithm recovers the familiar proton temperature anisotropy instabilities, as well as instabilities that had been previously identified using fits extracted from in situ observations in Gary et al. (2016). Future proposed applications of this method are discussed.

Published: August 2017

AbstractA new approach on the synthesis of Si anodes for Li‐ion batteries is reported, combining advantages of both nanoparticulated and continuous Si films. A multilayered configuration prototype is proposed, comprising amorphous Si arranged in nanostructured, mechanically heterogeneous films, interspersed with Ta nanoparticle scaffolds. Particular structural features such as increased surface roughness, nanogranularity, and porosity are dictated by the nanoparticle scaffolds, boosting the lithiation process due to fast Li diffusion and low electrode polarization. Consequently, a remarkable charge/discharge speed is reached with the proposed anode, in the order of minutes (1200 mAh g−1 at 10 C). Moreover, nanomechanical heterogeneity self‐limits the capacity at intermediate charge/discharge rates; as a consequence, exceptional cycleability is observed at 0.5 C, with 100% retention over 200 cycles with 700 mAh g−1. Higher capacity can be obtained when the first cycles are performed at 0.2 C, due to the formation of microislands, which facilitate the swelling of the active Si. This study indicates a method to tune the mechanical, morphological, and electrochemical properties of Si electrodes via engineering nanoparticle scaffolds, paving the way for a novel design of nanostructured Si electrodes for high‐performance energy storage devices.
Fiscal‐Food Policies are Likely Misinformed by Biased Price Elasticities from Household Surveys: Evidence from Melanesia
Authors: Gibson John , Romeo Alessandro 
Published: August 2017

AbstractFiscal‐food policies use taxes to alter relative food prices so as to change diets and are suggested for reducing non‐communicable diseases in the Pacific. Price elasticity estimates used by advocates of fiscal‐food policies are often biased and may make policy makers too optimistic about small taxes on unhealthy food and drink inducing big changes in diets. The bias is illustrated using the example of the demand for soft drinks in a household survey from the Solomon Islands, with further evidence from Papua New Guinea. About one‐third of consumer response to soft drink price variation in the Solomon Islands is on the quantity margin, with two‐thirds on the quality margin. If the quality response is wrongly treated as a quantity response to price—as in most studies—the price elasticity of soft drink demand is exaggerated by a factor of two in Papua New Guinea and three in the Solomon Islands.

AbstractBackgroundGenetic polymorphisms play a significant role in determining brain morphology, including white matter structure and may thus influence the development of brain functions. The main objective of this study was to examine the effect of Val158Met (rs4680) polymorphism of Catechol‐O‐Methyltransferase (COMT) gene on white matter connectivity in healthy adults.MethodsWe used a whole‐brain diffusion‐weighted imaging method with Tract‐Based Spatial Statistics (TBSS) analysis to examine white matter structural integrity in intrinsic brain networks on a sample of healthy subjects (N = 82).ResultsResults revealed a sex‐specific effect of COMT on corpus callosum (CC): in males only, Val homozygotes had significantly higher fractional anisotropy (FA) compared to Met‐carriers. Volume‐of‐interest analysis showed a genotype by sex interaction on FA in genu and rostral midbody of CC, whereby Val males demonstrated higher FA than Met females.ConclusionsThese results demonstrate the key effect of genes by sex interaction, rather than their individual contribution, on the corpus callosum anatomy.

CRUST SEISMIC SCATTERING STRENGTH BENEATH THE MIDDLE‐SOUTH SEGMENT OF THE TANCHENG‐LUJIANG FAULT ZONE
Authors: Xiao‐Ping FAN , Yi‐Cheng HE , Jun‐Fei WANG , Yun YANG 
Published: August 2017

AbstractBroadband teleseismic waveform data from 10 earthquakes recorded by 134 digital seismic stations were selected to study the seismic scattering strength of the crust in the middle‐south segment of the Tancheng‐Lujiang fault zone by teleseismic fluctuation wave field method. The results show that strong transverse inhomogeneity exists beneath the middle‐south segment of the Tancheng‐Lujiang fault zone, and that the spatial distributions of seismic scattering strength exhibit conformity between the upper and lower crusts. Strong seismic scattering strength is found beneath the north China block and the Qinling‐Dabie fold system, whereas weak seismic scattering strength is found under the Yangtze block. The peak value of seismic scattering strength is mainly distributed in Lu'an, Junan, Jiashan, and Yantai, among others. The tectonic blocks are correlated with seismic scattering strength. Different blocks show different seismic scattering strengths. Seismic scattering strength, which can be divided into three segments, shows a segmental feature along the Tancheng‐Lujiang fault zone. The first segment is from Weifang to Linyi, the second is from Linyi to Jiashan, and the third is from Jianshan to Jiujiang. Earthquake activity is strongly correlated with seismic scattering strength, and the epicenters of moderate earthquakes are located along the gradient zone of seismic scattering strength. Many smaller earthquakes occur along the high gradients of seismic scattering strength throughout the Tancheng‐Lujiang fault zone, such as the segment of Linyi to Jiashan, and the segment of Jianshan to Jiujiang. However, the segment of Linyi to Jiashan with fewer earthquakes shows a low gradient of seismic scattering strength. Seismic scattering strength shows coherency with tectonic blocks, deep fault structure, and earthquake activity. Thus, seismic scattering strength reflects the different physical properties of a medium in the crust and is also related to the physical morphology of the medium, substance migration, and variations in stress‐strain environment in the deep structure.

Published: August 2017

AbstractCavernous carbonate formations are characterized by strong heterogeneity, which results in the complex electric logging responses and the difficulty in the logging identification and evaluation. Numerical simulation of electric logging tools is helpful to figure out the logging response characteristics in these formations and could provide theoretical support for cave recognition and evaluation. In this paper, based on three dimensional finite element methods, a local refinement technique is adopted for the accurate discretization and simulation of complex sphere caves. Then, the response characteristics and sensitivity of dual laterolog to caves around and penetrated by wellbore are analyzed, finally the differences of sensitive scope between deep and shallow laterolog are studied. The results show that the dual laterolog response decreases significantly when cave exists. Affected by cave boundary and the investigation depth of dual laterolog tool, the logging response for caves penetrated by wellbore is very complicated, however it exhibits parabolic‐like characteristic for caves around wellbore. Compared with caves around wellbore, the dual laterolog is much more sensitive to caves penetrated by wellbore. For caves around wellbore, the maximum sensitive distance for deep and shallow laterolog between the cave boundary and well wall is 0.5 m and 0.3 m, respectively.

Published: August 2017

AbstractThe shale gas reservoir storage space mainly includes micro pores and cracks of micron and nano scale. Owing to the complex pore network, as well as high content of kerogen and clay minerals in shale matrix and existence of conductive minerals, especially pyrite, the shale reservoir conductive mechanism is quite different from that of conventional reservoir, and the I‐Sw curve obtained by core electricity experiment is non‐linear which makes traditional evaluation models such as Archie's law not suitable. Aiming at these issues, according to actual core experiment and CT scan data, a three dimensional percolation network is established with randomized algorithm and the node voltage and current are calculated through over‐relaxation iteration algorithm. With this network, the reasons for non‐Archie property and the influence factors of shale reservoir are analyzed. Simulation results show that pore structure, shape and size, mineral composition and formation water resistivity have different effects on the reservoir resistivity. By changing the setting value, single‐correlation between the reservoir resistivity and these factors can be built, and percolation correction model is also developed to calculate shale reservoir water saturation. The method has achieved a good effect in a certain shale gas field in Sichuan, China, which presents a good application prospect and provides a new thought on solving complex problems in shale gas field exploration and development with network simulation methods.
CO‐SEISMIC GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY CHANGE AND ITS TECTONIC IMPLICATIONS: A CASE STUDY IN TIBETAN PLATEAU AREA

Published: August 2017

AbstractEarthquakes not only release seismic‐wave energy, which decays eventually, but also give rise to permanent deformation in the Earth. This permanent deformation causes gravitational potential energy (GPE) change. Previous researches showed that the GPE change is a good indicator of extensional and compressional tectonics. In this paper, we first proposed an effective method to compute co‐seismic GPE change for a SNREI (spherically symmetric Non‐rotational Elastic Isotropic) Earth according to the point dislocation theory. This method is applicable to both shear and tensile earthquakes. We then applied this method to compute the contributions from earthquakes occurred over Tibetan plateau area from 1976 to 2013 to the crustal GPE change. The results show that earthquakes occurred in central and western part of Tibetan plateau caused the crustal GPE to decrease while those in eastern part caused it to increase, which correspond to extensional and compressional tectonic status, respectively, in this area. Furthermore, the impact of earthquakes occurred from 1999 to 2013 was larger than that of earthquakes occurred from 1976 to 1998.
Genetic conservation and management of the California endemic, Torrey pine (Pinus torreyanaParry): Implications of genetic rescue in a genetically depauperate species

Published: August 2017

AbstractRare species present a challenge under changing environmental conditions as the genetic consequences of rarity may limit species ability to adapt to environmental change. To evaluate the evolutionary potential of a rare species, we assessed variation in traits important to plant fitness using multigenerational common garden experiments. Torrey pine,Pinus torreyanaParry, is one of the rarest pines in the world, restricted to one mainland and one island population. Morphological differentiation between island and mainland populations suggests adaptation to local environments may have contributed to trait variation. The distribution of phenotypic variances within the common garden suggests distinct population‐specific growth trajectories underlay genetic differences, with the island population exhibiting substantially reduced genetic variance for growth relative to the mainland population. Furthermore, F1 hybrids, representing a cross between mainland and island trees, exhibit increased height accumulation and fecundity relative to mainland and island parents. This may indicate genetic rescue via intraspecific hybridization could provide the necessary genetic variation to persist in environments modified as a result of climate change. Long‐term common garden experiments, such as these, provide invaluable resources to assess the distribution of genetic variance that may inform conservation strategies to preserve evolutionary potential of rare species, including genetic rescue.
Ethics of animal research in human disease remediation, its institutional teaching; and alternatives to animal experimentation

Published: August 2017

AbstractAnimals have been used in research and teaching for a long time. However, clear ethical guidelines and pertinent legislation were instated only in the past few decades, even in developed countries with Judeo‐Christian ethical roots. We compactly cover the basics of animal research ethics, ethical reviewing and compliance guidelines for animal experimentation across the developed world, “our” fundamentals of institutional animal research ethics teaching, and emerging alternatives to animal research. This treatise was meticulously constructed for scientists interested/involved in animal research. Herein, we discuss key animal ethics principles – Replacement/Reduction/Refinement. Despite similar undergirding principles across developed countries, ethical reviewing and compliance guidelines for animal experimentation vary. The chronology and evolution of mandatory institutional ethical reviewing of animal experimentation (in its pioneering nations) are summarised. This is followed by a concise rendition of the fundamentals of teaching animal research ethics in institutions. With the advent of newer methodologies in human cell‐culturing, novel/emerging methods aim to minimise, if not avoid the usage of animals in experimentation. Relevant to this, we discuss key extant/emerging alternatives to animal use in research; including organs on chips, human‐derived three‐dimensional tissue models, human blood derivates, microdosing, and computer modelling of various hues.

Published: August 2017

AbstractIn this study, we engineered mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to over-express basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and evaluated its effects on fracture healing. Adipose-derived mouse MSCs were transduced to express bFGF and green fluorescence protein (ADSCbFGF-GFP). Closed-femoral fractures were performed with osterix-mCherry reporter mice of both sexes. The mice received 3 × 105 ADSCs transfected with control vector or bFGF via intramuscular injection within or around the fracture sites. Mice were euthanized at days 7, 14, and 35 to monitor MSC engraftment, osteogenic differentiation, callus formation, and bone strength. Compared to ADSC culture alone, ADSCbFGF increased bFGF expression and higher levels of bFGF and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the culture supernatant for up to 14 days. ADSCbFGF treatment increased GFP-labeled MSCs at the fracture gaps and these cells were incorporated into the newly formed callus. quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) from the callus revealed a 2- to 12-fold increase in the expression of genes associated with nervous system regeneration, angiogenesis, and matrix formation. Compared to the control, ADSCbFGF treatment increased VEGF expression at the periosteal region of the callus, remodeling of collagen into mineralized callus and bone strength. In summary, MSCbFGF accelerated fracture healing by increasing the production of growth factors that stimulated angiogenesis and differentiation of MSCs to osteoblasts that formed new bone and accelerated fracture repair. This novel treatment may reduce the time required for fracture healing.
