This article looks at how intravenous drug users in Finland perceive their problems and the social and health care interventions designed to address those problems. Aim The aim is to open up new perspectives on the current debate around the services and treatments available to drug users. The study is based on an ethnographic observation and interview material collected at health counselling centres for intravenous drug users, including users' talk about the service system and their service needs as well as my own observations of how drug users cope within the service system. Methods The discourse analysis is grounded in the concept and idea of talking back, which I use to challenge current constructions (often by experts and the authorities) of the drug abuse problem. I juxtapose these constructions with drug users' interpretations, which I address by the concept of interpretative framework. Results Drug users themselves also describe their lives largely via their problems, but their explanations of these problems are rather different from those offered by experts and the authorities. The first key characteristic is the tension that is constructed between drug users who look upon themselves as abnormal and the so-called normal population. A second distinctive feature in drug users' everyday life is its multiple, simultaneous problems and it's oppressive, unbearably forced rhythm. Conclusion Existing social and health care interventions do not provide adequate support to drug users, but on the contrary may even complicate their lives.

Aims In the study social assistance case files of single male clients with problematic alcohol consumption were studied. The aim was to see whether actions by the social worker also did focus on treating the client's drinking problem and if so, if the client's labour-market status influenced the decision made by the social worker. Methods & Data The study investigated all case files from nine municipalities during 1999 that involved social assistance to single men over an extended period (six months or more) or contacts over several intervals (three contacts or more). Alcohol-related notes were present in 297 case files and in these files, data were collected on the client's age, first contact with the social service system, ability to support oneself financially through work, type of alcohol-related notes and notes on type of actions and decisions by the social worker. Within the 297 case files, four groups of clients emerged. Two of them were chosen: those judged as fully capable of working (C group = 122 clients) and those not able to work at all (N group = 48 clients): These were then compared mainly in relation to the notes of actions/decisions by their social worker. Data were not randomly sampled and the results can thus not be interpreted as representative for a larger population. However, there is no obvious reason to believe that the social work done in the study municipalities differs from the work done in other similar municipalities. Results The main result shows that demands for participation in some kind of treatment and/or providing “proof” of soberness in order to receive a higher extent of social assistance were found more in the C group than in the N group Conclusions The fewer demands for treatment/soberness in the N group might be interpreted as reflecting a greater extent of social care for this group, in terms of social assistance, but a lesser extent of social care in terms of concerns of their possible problematic drinking.
“Hellre till kompisar än till närstående”: Solidaritetens betydelse då unga vuxna langar alkohol till minderåriga

Aim In Finland it is illegal to furnish alcohol to minors. Both adults and young people break this rule quite regularly. In this article we discuss the views and experiences of young people who are of legal drinking age about furnishing alcohol to minors: to whom do they furnish alcohol and to whom do they not, on what conditions do they do that and how do they justify their actions. The focus of analysis is on the social dynamics of furnishing alcohol, i.e. the rules that govern this activity among young people of legal age. Data The material for the study consists of seven group interviews with young people aged 17–23. A total of 57 upper secondary school, vocational school and college students took part, 25 women and 32 men. We collected the data in the Hämeenlinna region in autumn 2005 as part of the Local Alcohol Policy project. Analyses The analysis applies the concept of solidarity, which is divided into two constituent parts: solidarity towards one's friends and solidarity towards one's family. The rules of furnishing alcohol to a minor depend on how the furnishing is framed, i.e. from the vantage-point of friends or family community. Solidarity with friends rests primarily on a sense of equality and togetherness with peers, whereas the main emphasis in solidarity with the family is on education and the sense of caring by the family. On the basis of the different logics of solidarity an inner circle and an outer circle are created: alcohol will usually be furnished to members of the inner circle (peer group, siblings, close relatives), but not to members of the outer circle (half-acquaintances, strangers, kids who are “too” young). However, it is noteworthy that furnishing alcohol to under-age siblings did cause much moral discussion in the groups we interviewed. In other words, “for friends rather than for family”. Conclusion The furnishing of alcohol by young adults to minors is no random or arbitrary activity. It is based on a set of rules that follow the different logics of friends and family solidarity–rules that are not always clear to the young people who are purchasing and furnishing the alcohol, let alone to others. Public discussions on the furnishing of alcohol are not usually based on an understanding of these rules.
Hypersensitivity reactions to human insulin analogs in insulin-naïve patients: a systematic review
Authors: Bzowyckyj Andrew S. , Stahnke Amanda M. 
Published: December 2017

Objective: The objective of this study was to raise awareness of hypersensitivity reactions to human insulin analogs (HIAs) in insulin-naïve patients and encourage consistent and detailed reporting of HIA reactions. Data sources: A search of PubMed, MEDLINE and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts using the terms ‘insulin’ and ‘hypersensitivity’ was completed with English language, humans, and publication date after 1 January 1990 as limits. Study selection and data extraction: The initial search identified 598 articles. These titles and abstracts were reviewed for relevance (e.g. mention of HIA) resulting in the exclusion of 477 articles. The full texts of the remaining titles were evaluated in addition to each article’s references to identify additional reports meeting criteria ( n = 14). Upon extensive review, 118 articles were excluded for not meeting prespecified inclusion criteria, resulting in 17 articles. Data synthesis: Evidence supporting hypersensitivity reactions to HIAs was variable, potentially due to a variety of causes (e.g. difficulty identifying a true case of hypersensitivity reaction to HIAs). Inconsistencies were noted for the identification, confirmatory testing, management, and reporting of these reactions. Management strategies included use of insulin desensitization protocols, antihistamines, steroids, immunosuppressant/immunomodulator therapies, conversion to noninsulin therapies, and pancreas transplantation. Conclusions: Complete and consistent identification, evaluation, management, and reporting of these reactions is essential. Specific aspects of the patient’s history should be reported, including previous insulin exposure, the specific HIAs used, duration of use prior to the reaction, a clear timeline of the reaction, and discussion of precipitating events or confounding factors.

Genome of Russian wheat aphid an economically important cereal aphid
Authors: Burger Nicolaas Francois Visser , Botha Anna-Maria 
Published: December 2017

AbstractAlthough the hemipterans (Aphididae) are comprised of roughly 50,000 extant insect species, only four have sequenced genomes that are publically available, namely
Acyrthosiphon pisum
(pea aphid),
Rhodnius prolixus
(Kissing bug),
Myzus persicae
(Green peach aphid) and
Diuraphis noxia
(Russian wheat aphid). As a significant proportion of agricultural pests are phloem feeding aphids, it is crucial for sustained global food security that a greater understanding of the genomic and molecular functioning of this family be elucidated. Recently, the genome of US D. noxia biotype US2 was sequenced but its assembly only incorporated ~ 32% of produced reads and contained a surprisingly low gene count when compared to that of the model/first sequenced aphid,
A. pisum
. To this end, we present here the genomes of two South African
Diuraphis noxia
(Kurdjumov, Hemiptera: Aphididae) biotypes (SA1 and SAM), obtained after sequencing the genomes of the only two D. noxia biotypes with documented linked genealogy. To better understand overall targets and patterns of heterozygosity, we also sequenced a pooled sample of 9 geographically separated D. noxia populations (MixIX). We assembled a 399 Mb reference genome (PRJNA297165, representing 64% of the projected genome size 623 Mb) using ± 28 Gb of 101 bp paired-end HiSeq2000 reads from the D. noxia biotype SAM, whilst ± 13 Gb 101 bp paired-end HiSeq2000 reads from the D. noxia biotype SA1 were generated to facilitate genomic comparisons between the two biotypes. Sequencing the MixIX sample yielded ±26 Gb 50 bp paired-end SOLiD reads which facilitated SNP detection when compared to the D. noxia biotype SAM assembly. Ab initio gene calling produced a total of 31,885 protein coding genes from the assembled contigs spanning ~ 399 Mb (GCA_001465515.1).

Published: December 2017

A chain fault reactivation took place in central Apennines, from August 24 to October 30, 2016, producing five moderate-to-strong earthquakes ranging from Mw5.5 to Mw6.6. This paper presents the results from the study of the ground co-seismic ruptures around the Monte Vettore and Vettoretto, and Norcia. Surface co-seismic ruptures, were observed in the Vettore and Vettoretto segment of the fault for some kilometers (~7 km) in the August earthquakes, which were partly re-activated and expanded northward during the October earthquakes. Ruptures with 5-15 cm displacements are observed both in scree and weathered mantle (elluvium) and the bedrock, mainly fragmented carbonate rocks with small tectonic surfaces. After the October seismic sequence the co-seismic displacement doubled and reached more than 50cm. Oblique low-altitude aerial images were acquired at several sites using a UAV and 3D models were constructed using photogrammetric extrapolation. Numerous observed and mapped rock falls, slides of earth-materials etc, occur mainly along the mountain roads, on artificial slopes. They were studied with preliminary mapping from satellite imagery, and examples are presented of large landslides in the epicentral region with pre and after- the earthquake images. The first four events are associated with four individual fault segments respectively, all aligned along the mountain-fronts of Mt Gorzano and Mt Vettore. The last fifth and strongest event was the result of linkage and breaching of the previous fault segments. We modelled the fault segments intofive seismogenic sources in order to calculate the post-sequence static stress changes produced by the five seismogenic sources (or source faults) to the surrounding faults (receiver faults). Our results suggest possible triggering effects for neighbouring faults located along the strike of the source faults and delay effects for faults which are directly located either on the footwall or hanging-wall.

Background: Previous randomized trials on patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure versus medical therapy for stroke prevention were inconclusive. Recently, two new randomized trials and new findings from an extended follow-up of a previous trial have been published on this topic. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials comparing PFO closure with medical therapy for stroke prevention. Methods: PubMed and Cochrane Library were searched until 16th September 2017. The following search terms were used for PubMed: "patent foramen ovale" AND (stroke OR embolism) and "randomized" AND "Trial". For Cochrane Library, the following terms were used: "patent foramen ovale" AND "closure" AND (stroke OR embolism). Results: A total of 91 and 55 entries were retrieved from each database using our search strategy respectively, of which six studies on five trials met the inclusion criteria. This meta-analysis included 1829 patients in the PFO closure arm (mean age: 45.3 years; 54% male) and 1972 patients in the medical therapy arm (mean age: 45.1 years; 51% male). The median follow-up duration was 50 ± 30 months. When compared to medical therapy, PFO closure significantly reduced primary endpoint events with a risk ratio [RR] of 0.60 (95% CI: 0.44-0.83, P < 0.0001; I2: 15%). It also reduced stroke (RR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.35-0.73, P < 0.0001; I2: 32%) despite increasing the risk of atrial fibrillation/flutter (RR: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.23-2.93, P < 0.01; I2: 43%). However, it did not reduce transient ischemic accident events (0.75; 95% CI: 0.51-1.10, P = 0.14; I2: 0%), all-cause bleeding (RR: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.44-1.78, P = 0.74; I2: 51%) or gastrointestinal complications (RR: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.32-2.70, P = 0.88; I2: 0%). Conclusions: PFO closure significantly reduces risk of stroke when compared to medical treatment and should therefore be considered for stroke prevention in PFO patients.
Robust Randomized Matchings
Authors: Matuschke Jannik , Skutella Martin , Soto José A. 
Published: December 2017

The following game is played on a weighted graph: Alice selects a matching M and Bob selects a number k. Alice’s payoff is the ratio of the weight of the k heaviest edges of M to the maximum weight of a matching of size at most k. If M guarantees a payoff of at least α then it is called α-robust. In 2002, Hassin and Rubinstein gave an algorithm that returns a [Formula: see text]-robust matching, which is best possible. We show that Alice can improve her payoff to 1/ln(4) by playing a randomized strategy. This result extends to a very general class of independence systems that includes matroid intersection, b-matchings, and strong 2-exchange systems. It also implies an improved approximation factor for a stochastic optimization variant known as the maximum priority matching problem and translates to an asymptotic robustness guarantee for deterministic matchings, in which Bob can only select numbers larger than a given constant. Moreover, we give a new LP-based proof of Hassin and Rubinstein’s bound.
REFLECTIONS: MATHEMATICAL PRINCIPLES OF DECISION MAKING
Authors: Karpak Birsen 
Published: December 2017

This article discusses my reflections on Mathematical Principles of Decision Making by Thomas Saaty (Saaty T. L., 2010). In this book, Saaty very clearly explains his Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) theory for measuring both tangible and intangible factors. Experts judgments are elicited about the dominance of a factor over another one via pairwise comparisons using an absolute scale and priorities of the factors are derived. The important concepts of the AHP such as compatibility index, validation, sensitivity analysis for testing the robustness of the priorities derived, and its generalization to structures with dependence and feedback, and the Analytic Network Process (ANP) are given. Extensions of the theory to complex decisions involving benefits, opportunities, costs and risks and applications to resource allocation and conflict resolution are included, as well as the generalization to continuous and time dependent judgments is also covered.https://doi.org/10.13033/ijahp.v9i3.521
GROUP DECISION MAKING: DRAWING OUT AND RECONCILING DIFFERENCES
Authors: Peniwati Kirti 
Published: December 2017

Why is group decision making so important today? In our increasingly complex environment, decision making becomes more and more challenging for leaders and practitioners. Working in groups appears to be the norm because the alignment of visions and actions are critical for an organization. A leader or a group facilitator needs a supporting system to make collective thinking effective. The book, Group Decision Making: Drawing out and Reconciling Differences, written by Thomas Saaty and myself shows that the AHP is the scientific approach for supporting group processes in the current and future complex environment (Saaty & Peniwati, 2008). https://doi.org/10.13033/ijahp.v9i3.533
Job Satisfaction of People With Intellectual Disability: Associations With Job Characteristics and Personality
Authors: Akkerman Alma , Kef Sabina , Meininger Herman P. 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
To obtain an understanding of factors associated with job satisfaction of people with intellectual disability (ID), this study investigates the associations of job satisfaction with job characteristics (i.e., job demands, job resources) and personality, using the job demands-resources model. Data were gathered from 117 people and their employment support workers, using structured questionnaires adapted from well-established instruments. Job resources and age were positively associated with job satisfaction. Job demands and personality showed no significant direct associations with job satisfaction. Moderation analyses showed that for people with ID with high conscientiousness, enhanced job demands were associated with reduced job satisfaction, which was not the case for those with low conscientiousness. This study emphasizes the importance of job design.
The Local versus the Global in Curating and Curatorial Pedagogy
Authors: Jones Amelia 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Based on the specific structure of the new University of Southern California, Roski School of Art and Design curriculum of the MA in Curatorial Practices, this article polemically examines current tendencies in curating and curatorial practices programmes, arguing that there is an important role to be played by the latter – but not, as is often argued, in extending the reach of the self-proclaimed ‘global’ art world. The role of curatorial pedagogy, to the contrary, might best be understood as a critical one in giving students tools to understand the dangerous history behind claims of the ‘global’, which resonate with colonialist and imperialist and capitalist ideologies that have, since the early modern period, defined ‘art’ as such in Europe and European-based cultures.

This study aimed to examine the effects of using a mouth guard in Karate on respiration parameters. The study sample consisted of 10 volunteer elite male karate athletes who participated in the National Karate Team and still practice the sport (24.4±6.3years, 176.2±7.4 cm, 71±4.1 kg). The athletes were exposed to respiration tests without and with mouth guard with 2 days interval that give FVC, FEV1, MVV and PEF values. In the light of the found parameters, were no meaningful differences were observed in measurements of parameters between the measurements with and without a mouth guard (p > 0.05). The athletes continued their routine training between pre-test and post-test. In conclusion it was seen that the use of mouth guard did not directly affect the breathing performance.Extended English abstract is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.ÖzetBu çalışmada Karate sporundaki ağız koruyucusu kullanımının solunum parametrelerine etkisini incelemek amaçlanmıştır.
