Ewaluacja „wpływu społecznego” nauki. Przykład REF 2014 a kontekst polski
Authors: Wróblewska Marta Natalia 
Published: June 2017

Ewaluacja wpływu badań naukowych na środowiska pozanaukowe stała się w ostatnich latach przedmiotem dużego zainteresowania rządów, instytucji zajmujących się dystrybucją funduszy oraz badaczy akademickiej ewaluacji. Na świecie opracowano kilka modeli takiej oceny, różniących się celami i metodologią. Najbardziej kompleksową inicjatywą jest brytyjski system Impact Agenda, wprowadzony w 2014 r. jako element cyklicznego systemu oceny Research Excellence Framework (REF). „Wpływ społeczny” (impact) jest w jego ramach oceniany za pomocą jakościowej metodologii opartej na studiach przypadku (case studies), zaś wynik ewaluacji stanowi 20% końcowej oceny jednostki naukowej. Artykuł przedstawia kontekst wprowadzenia oceny „wpływu społecznego” w Wielkiej Brytanii oraz opisuje metodologię REF, kładąc szczególny nacisk na ewaluację elementu „impact”. Następnie na podstawie literatury oraz badań własnych autorki omawia pozytywne efekty oraz ograniczenia Impact Agenda. Ostatnia część tekstu zawiera sugestie co do „lekcji wyniesionych z REF 2014”, które mogą stanowić punkt odniesienia dla podobnych inicjatyw w Polsce. Tekst zamyka teza, że szerokie rozumienie „wpływu społecznego” nauki jako wpływu nie tylko na gospodarkę, lecz także jako dialogu ze społeczeństwem obywatelskim, mediami, sferą kultury i edukacji, może stanowić wyjście poza dychotomię: nauka utylitarna vs. nauka bezużytyczna.
Między neoliberalizmem a feudalizmem. Godność młodych naukowców w kontekście transformacji polskiego uniwersytetu
Authors: Zawadzki Michał 
Published: June 2017

Artykuł przedstawia wyniki badań wstępnych prowadzonych z perspektywy zarządzania humanistycznego, dotyczących godności w miejscu pracy wśród osób rozpoczynających karierę akademicką na polskiej uczelni. Polscy doktoranci i osoby ze stopniem doktora znajdują się w momencie przejściowym między feudalizmem a neoliberalizmem oraz między „samodzielnością” a „niesamodzielnością” naukową, co sprzyja upolitycznieniu ich tożsamości. Ma to niebagatelne skutki w kontekście procesów ochrony i ograniczania ich godności w miejscu pracy. Opisane zostaną neoliberalne zmiany w polskim szkolnictwie wyższym, poddana analizie kategoria godności z perspektywy zarządzania humanistycznego, a także zaprezentowane wyniki przeprowadzonego pilotażu badań jakościowych.
The English “Self” under Siege
Authors: Malhotra Ashok 
Published: June 2017

Ashok Malhotra, “The English ‘Self’ under Siege: A Comparison of a Memsahib’s Private Journals and her Novel The History of George Desmond” (pp. 1–34)
This paper examines Mary Sherwood’s The History of George Desmond (1821) alongside and against the author’s private journals to demonstrate the ways in which the novel both aligned with and veered away from Sherwood’s own personal experiences as a memsahib living in colonial India. It argues that while the novel reflects her awareness of the agency of colonized Indians and the precarious predicament of the colonizer in the subcontinent, its deployment of Gothic literary modes had the effect of accentuating racism and disorientation in the contact zone. This essay argues that while the memsahib’s private journals allowed space for moments when racial and class distinctions were temporarily eroded, the novel’s prescriptive genre constraints did not allow for such occurrences. It further argues that the novel’s admonitory function and use of Gothic literary tropes led Sherwood to raise problematic questions about the colonial endeavor, which are left unanswered by the narrative.

Published: June 2017

Introduction: Lumbar puncture is a procedure frequently used in anesthetic practice. For the success of the procedure, prediction of skin to subarachnoid space distance (SSD) is valuable. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between SSD with age and body mass index (BMI).
Methods: Two hundred and fifty patients, ASA physical status I, II, and III scheduled to undergo elective surgery under spinal anesthesia, were studied. Spinal anesthesia was induced in the sitting position at the L3–4 vertebral level using a midline approach. Furthermore, the level of L3–L4 was identified by palpation, using Tuffier’s line as a guide. Following an intrathecal injection, the spinal needle was grasped between the thumb and the index finger during its removal from the patient’s back. From the grasping point, SSD was measured using rulers.
Results: Mean values of SSD at the L3-4 interspace were 55.43±6.47 mm (range 35-74). Statistically significant correlations were observed between SSD with BMI and body weight (ρ=0.650, P<0.001 and ρ=0.651, P<0.001, respectively). Statistically significant correlation was not found between SSD with age, gender and body height (ρ=0.120, P=0.058; ρ=-0.047, P=0.4568 and ρ=0.089, P=0.159, respectively).
Conclusions: SSD is affected by BMI and body weight but not by age, gender and body height.

Published: June 2017

Background: The incidence of Chronic Heart failure (CHF) has reached epidemic proportions in developing countries. The prevalence also increases as the patient population ages. Heart failure accounts for between 5% and 10% of all hospital admissions and is the most frequent cause of hospitalization in the elderly. The aim of this single centre observational study was to find out the efficacy of EECP in improving functional capacity and LV function in symptomatic chronic heart failure patients with mild to moderate LV dysfunction irrespective of their etiology.Methods: Thirty-six symptomatic patients in NYHA class II and III were included in this study. All the patients underwent one hour EECP therapy for thirty-five sessions over a period of seven weeks. NYHA classification, six-minute walk test, two dimensional and Tissue Doppler Echocardiographic examination were done before and after EECP therapy.Results: At the end of EECP therapy there was improvement in functional class. Eleven out of thirty-six patients were asymptomatic. The mean distance covered in six-minute walk test was also significantly increased after the therapy. The Echocardiographic parameters like Ejection Fraction (EF), Systolic excursion of mitral valve annulus (S'), Ratio between mitral flow E Velocity & Mitral annular E velocity (E/E’) significantly improved after EECP.Conclusions: In this study, it was concluded that there was significant improvement in symptoms, functional capacity and LV function in Chronic Heart Failure patients after EECP therapy.
Nitrobenzene Hydrogenation to N-phenylhydroxylamine: a New Approach to the Selectivity
Authors: Kushch S.D. 
Published: June 2017

A new approach to resolve the problem of selectivity with respect to N-phenylhydroxylamine in nitrobenzene hydrogenation is proposed. N-phenylhydroxylamine only is the final product of nitrobenzene electroreduction in aprotic media. In this case nitrobenzene reduction carries out by alternation of electrochemical (electron transfer) and chemical (species formed protonation) stages i.e. by so-called EC mechanism. Such mechanism realization in nitrobenzene hydrogenation is possible if i) a catalyst activates hydrogen as “hydrogen electrode” i.e. serves electrons source; ii) a reaction media contains limiting proton concentration. These limitations are discharged in the media of aprotic dipolar solvent, which solvated both positive and negative species. Really, in aprotic dipolar solvents over reduced platinum complexes or lowpercentage (≤1 wt.%) platinum, iridium or osmium catalyst nitrobenzene is hydrogenated with process discontinuance after nitrobenzene total consumption. Nitrobenzene hydrogenation yields N-phenylhydroxylamine as the main (the yield is 98%) product. As these low-percentage catalysts, complex catalyst in situ is heterogeneous i.e. it represents a platinum colloid (particle size ~ 40 nm) stabilized by aprotic dipolar solvent. So, process of nitrobenzene hydrogenation, which is similar to nitrobenzene electoreduction, can is created. A kinetic scheme proposed is analyzed and kinetic equation for initial reaction rate, which is conformed to kinetic data, is obtained.
Indian Country Leads National Movement to Knock Down Barriers to Oral Health Equity
Authors: Cladoosby Brian (Speepots) 
Published: June 2017

Tribal and other underserved communities are struggling under the weight of devastating oral health disparities. Tribes as sovereign nations are searching for innovative solutions to address their unique barriers to oral health care. Dental therapists are primary oral health providers who work as part of the dental team to provide a limited scope of services to patients. They were first brought to tribal communities by the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium. Despite strong opposition from the American Dental Association aimed at protecting its monopoly on oral health care, dental therapists are sweeping the nation. Evidence shows that they are effective and provide high-quality care, particularly in underserved communities. A community’s ability to develop public health policy solutions tailored to its needs and priorities is essential in eliminating health disparities and achieving health equity. The Swinomish Indian Tribal Community is leading the way to more effective and efficient dental teams and working hard to lay the groundwork for the elimination of oral health disparities.

Published: June 2017

Maturity level of dendritic cells (DC) plays a pivotal role in initiating and regulating autoimmunity. In graves’ disease (GD), DCs have more active immune responses than those in healthy subjects. Our previous study demonstrated immunoregulatory effects of in vitro 1,25-D3 on maturation of DC in GD patients. This study aims to evaluate the effect of oral 1α-D3 on DC maturation in GD patients. Methods: Twenty five GD patients with thyrotoxicosis were divided into two groups: 12 GD patients receiving oral 1α-D3 and 13 GD patients receiving placebo, in addition to treatment of propylthiouracil. Comparison of DC maturation were performed before and after the oral 1α-D3. DC maturation was assessed based on the expression of DC markers (HLA-DR, CD80, CD40, CD83, CD14 and CD206) and the ratio of cytokines interleukin-12/IL-10.Results: After 8 weeks, 8 out of 12 GD patients in treatment group and 6 out of 13 GD patients in placebo group still had high fT4 level. The expression of CD80 decreased (p=0.48) and CD206 increased (p=0.47) insignificantly among treatment group. The IL-12/IL-10 ratio decreased along with the improvement of fT4 level in both groups. No difference of the IL-12/IL10 ratio between treatment and placebo group. Conclusion: The effects of oral 1α-D3 on DC maturation of GD patients have not been clearly demonstrated in this study yet.

Published: June 2017

Objective: To standardise the protocol for rapid callogenesis in Mussaenda frondosa L. using leaf explants. Qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analysis of leaf, stem and callus cultures.Methods: The leaf explants were inoculated onto MS medium supplemented with varying concentrations of growth regulators such as 2, 4 - D, NAA, BAP, Kn for the induction of callus. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of total phenol, flavonoids and alkaloids contents of leaf, stem and callus were tested by standard methods. The antioxidant activities were investigated using DPPH radical scavenging method and reducing power assay. The anti - inflammatory activity was evaluated by membrane stabilizing activity.Results: Pale green, healthy, friable and fast growing callus was obtained on the medium enriched with NAA (2mg/l) + Kn (4mg/l). Quantitative determination showed the highest concentration of total phenolics in the methanolic extract of in vitro grown callus (10 ± 1.1 mg of GA/g of extract), flavonoids in methanolic stem extract (137±1.6 mg of Quercitin/g of extract) and alkaloids in methanolic extract of leaf (118.3±1.5 mg/10g of extract). The methanolic leaf extract exhibited highest free radical scavenging activity with IC50 value of 40.6±10.06 μg/ml. The highest membrane stabilizing activity was shown by chloroform extract of the leaf (66.02%).Conclusion: The present preliminary phytochemical and pharmacological analysis may form the basis for drug development in future using callus cultures of M. frondosa.
THE EVOLUTION OF THE PROFIT CONCEPT: ONE ORGANIZATION'S EXPERIENCE
Authors: McWatters Cheryl 
Published: June 2017

The accounting innovation and change literature has emphasized the contingent relationship between the accounting system and a variety of environmental forces. This paper utilizes a longitudinal analysis to evaluate this contingent relationship within one nineteenth century organization, The Calvin Company. The results generally are consistent with most findings from the literature. In particular, the study examines the shift in the profit concept to a short-versus a long-term perspective. This has parallels with the emerging role of the corporate form of business organization and the entity, as opposed to, proprietary view of accounting.
The accounting system shaped the organizational reality to the extent that the accounting for an event had a subsequent impact upon The Calvin Company's direction. The conclusions highlight the contextual nature of accounting. Accounting and accounting change must be interpreted in terms of the underlying developments within the entity, and within its external environment.
THE INSTITUTIONAL EFFECTS OF LEADERSHIP: THE UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE AND ITS AUDIT REPORT REVIEW PROCESS
Authors: Basu Onker N. 
Published: June 2017

In accounting research, the role of organizational leaders has been underrepresented. The limited research dealing with leadership issues has focused on the impact of leadership on micro activities such as performance evaluation, budget satisfaction, and audit team performance. The impact of leadership on the structure of accounting and audit systems and organizations has been ignored.
This paper focuses on the impact that past Comptrollers General have had on the working and structure of one federal audit agency, the United States General Accounting Office (GAO). In addition, it also focuses on the influence of the two most recent Comptrollers General on one important audit related activity, i.e., the audit report review process. Using qualitative field research methods, this paper documents how the organizational leadership impacts its long-term audit practices and thereby influences auditing, especially in the public sector.

Authors: Silva Urrego Yimmy Fernando , Gordillo Marisol , Delvasto Arjona Silvio 
Published: June 2017

La producción del cemento portland es responsable de aproximadamente el 5% de las emisiones globales de dióxido de carbono (CO2) en todo el mundo. Una importante contribución a la sostenibilidad de esta industria es el empleo de puzolanas que disminuyan el contenido de cemento portland para la elaboración de concreto, y más si el material que se utiliza proviene de un residuo como son los de construcción y demolición; por ello se propone el empleo de residuos de mampostería como material alternativo a las puzolanas. En este artículo se presentan los resultados experimentales de la caracterización de un residuo de mampostería (RM) y su evaluación puzolánica. El RM en primera instancia se sometió a un estudio de molienda y posterior análisis mediante las técnicas de fluorescencia de rayos X (FRX), difracción de rayos X (DRX), análisis termo-gravimétrico (TG) y microscopía electrónica de barrido (MEB). Adicionalmente se evaluó el efecto de la incorporación de RM en la resistencia a la compresión en morteros de cemento portland mediante el reemplazo de este en un rango de 0 a 50% a diferentes edades de curado (7; 28; 65 y 90 días), así como las propiedades de densidad y porosidad a 28 días de curado. Los resultados exhiben que este residuo (RM) presenta un comportamiento puzolánico y su porcentaje óptimo de reemplazo en morteros de cemento portland es de 20%.
