Shape-Controlled Micro-Crystals of Chain-Like Zn(II) Coordination Polymer [Zn(NIA)EDA]∝ and Its Catalytic Performance
Authors: Li Yuanyuan , Su Yuqun , Xu Jing , Xu Zhen-liang , Xu Haitao 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
In this study, a new Zn coordination polymer (Zn-CP), hereafter, 1Zn, was successfully assembled in a solvothermal system, exhibiting one-dimensional extended chains. 1Zn morphologies were controlled by temperature and surfactants. In addition, the catalytic performance of 1Zn microsized CP was investigated. Knoevenagel condensation after 4 h afforded a conversion of 86%, and a conversion greater than 96% was obtained for 4-chlorobenzaldehyde and 4-bromobenzaldehyde because of their electron-withdrawing ligands. In addition, excellent selectivity was achieved for the degradation (64% conversion) of malachite green in aqueous solution. The microcrystal morphology affected the conversion, and a relative catalytic mechanism was proposed. The developed strategy of shape-controlled assembled CPs will certainly enhance new potential applications of micro-CPs.
Stereoselective Synthesis of β-Amino Acid Derivatives by Asymmetric Mannich Reaction in Flow
Authors: Yoshida Masahito , Umeda Koji , Doi Takayuki 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
A continuous flow synthesis of β-amino acid derivatives has been demonstrated using an asymmetric Mannich reaction. An enolate of tert-butyl acetate was successfully prepared in 10 s at room temperature in a flow reactor, and the desired β-amino acid derivatives were stereoselectively obtained within a short residence time (40 s) in moderate-to-good yields. Sequential N-alkylation of the Mannich product in the flow reactor was also achieved in the presence of DMPU that provided N-alkylated β-amino acid derivatives in good yields.

Published: July 2017

Background: Understanding the distribution of anopheline vectors of malaria is an important prelude to the design of national malaria control and elimination programmes. A single, geo-coded continental inventory of anophelines using all available published and unpublished data has not been undertaken since the 1960s.Methods: We have searched African, European and World Health Organization archives to identify unpublished reports on anopheline surveys in 48 sub-Saharan Africa countries. This search was supplemented by identification of reports that formed part of post-graduate theses, conference abstracts, regional insecticide resistance databases and more traditional bibliographic searches of peer-reviewed literature. Finally, a check was made against two recent repositories of dominant malaria vector species locations (circa2,500). Each report was used to extract information on the survey dates, village locations (geo-coded to provide a longitude and latitude), sampling methods, species identification methods and all anopheline species found present during the survey. Survey records were collapsed to a single site over time. Results: The search strategy took years and resulted in 13,331 unique, geo-coded survey locations of anopheline vector occurrence between 1898 and 2016. A total of 12,204 (92%) sites reported the presence of 10 dominant vector species/sibling species; 4,473 (37%) of these sites were sampled since 2005. 4,442 (33%) sites reported at least one of 13 possible secondary vector species; 1,107 (25%) of these sites were sampled since 2005. Distributions of dominant and secondary vectors conform to previous descriptions of the ecological ranges of these vectors.Conclusion: We have assembled the largest ever geo-coded database of anophelines in Africa, representing a legacy dataset for future updating and identification of knowledge gaps at national levels. The geo-coded database is available onHarvard Dataverseas a reference source for African national malaria control programmes planning their future control and elimination strategies.
Tensiones y conflictos por agua en el boom inmobiliario de Tecámac, México
Authors: Ibarra García María Verónica 
Published: July 2017

Las tensiones y conflictos por los usos divergentes del agua en el municipio de Tecámac serán analizados en este artículo. Este estudio se realiza desde la geografía crítica con base en la articulación de diversas escalas en lo local. De este modo, ubica la producción del espacio como eje rector de análisis, haciendo énfasis en los megaproyectos de lógica neoliberal. El estudio se realizó utilizando fuentes primarias y secundarias. Se consideran a los actores políticos y económicos hegemónicos en sus intentos y concreción de despojo del agua en clave de segunda naturaleza; también, se identifican a los actores contrahegemónicos que resisten el despojo. Entre estos actores se encuentran los habitantes originarios, quienes —organizados en un Sistema de Agua Potable de Tecámac (SAPT) de base comunitaria, ahora constituido en Asociación Civil (A.C.)— se han opuesto a los intentos de despojo por parte del Ayuntamiento, encabezado por Aarón Urbina Bedolla. Además, se presenta a los nuevos pobladores de los recientes fraccionamientos habitacionales que han emprendido acciones legales contra las empresas inmobiliarias y el Ayuntamiento por incumplimiento en el abasto de agua.
Análisis del programa Mi Casa Mi Vida en Córdoba y São Paulo
Authors: Saccucci Erika 
Published: July 2017

El presente trabajo se enmarca en un proyecto de investigación más amplio, resultado de un convenio entre la UCC y la UNIFESP. Se ha propuesto realizar un análisis de la configuración de la ciudad de São Paulo y la ciudad de Córdoba a partir de la aplicación del programa Mi Casa Mi Vida. El programa cobra relevancia por dos aspectos principales: por una parte, el amplio alcance que ha tenido la política en ambas ciudades, y por otra, en tanto políticas públicas permiten ver cómo operan los diversos dispositivos en la sociedad ya que, en su contenido cristalizan y (re) configuran relaciones sociales y, por ende, las territorialidades. Se ha sostenido la hipótesis de que estas políticas habitacionales destinadas a los sectores populares, lejos están de perseguir la garantía de un derecho a aquellas porciones de la población relegadas históricamente. Por el contrario, deben ser analizadas a la luz de las estructuras económicas de cada país, las demandas y necesidades del capital y las nuevas tendencias urbanas recomendadas por los organismos internacionales que se consolidaron como las instituciones crediticias de las mismas. De esta manera, se ha llegado a la conclusión que estas políticas públicas no pueden sino ser analizadas en el contexto económico de cada país en tanto han sido diseñadas como dispositivos de reactivación económica y sus particularidades de diseño asumen sentido a partir de las necesidades del capital inmobiliario-financiero respectivamente.
Tegucigalpa a través de los conflictos por la primacía urbana en Honduras, s. XVIII-XX
Authors: Navarrete Calix Daniela 
Published: July 2017

El presente es un estudio con enfoque histórico-cronológico de larga duración que busca responder a la cuestión sobre el impacto que generaron y generan los conflictos por la primacía urbana en Honduras. Este concepto, propio de la geografía urbana, se articula transversalmente con los eventos que manifestaron esa conflictividad, a saber: cambios en la jerarquía urbana, en las relaciones socio-históricas, ciclos de economía y la evolución de los transportes. Para ello bordaremos tres momentos claves de la conflictividad: la lucha por la restitución de la Alcaldía Mayor de Tegucigalpa durante el Régimen de Intendencias (1788-1812), la pugna por convertirse en la capital del país en el proceso de invención del Estado-Nación (1821-1880) y la dicotomía urbana ante San Pedro Sula (1920-1990). Esta última, epicentro de los proyectos económicos liberales y neoliberales del país.

Authors: Cuesta Óscar , Mélendez Sandra 
Published: July 2017

El presente artículo expone los resultados de revisión documental sobre comunicación urbana y comunicación y ciudad de América Latina y España, realizada con el objetivo de identificar los abordajes teóricos y las propuestas de líneas de investigación para el estudio de este campo. Los resultados encontrados comprenden la relación comunicación–ciudad-lo urbano desde categorías transversales de estudio como el lenguaje, el discurso, los medios de comunicación y las interacciones sociales, a través de procesos de representación, mediación espacial, apropiación simbólica, mercantilización, transformación urbana, participación ciudadana y expresión de sentidos. En conclusión, desde perspectivas como la sociológica, la política, la cultura, la económica, la humana y la tecnológica se ha podido consolidar en veinticinco años una nutrida variedad de líneas de investigación que ratifican la comunicación urbana como un campo de estudio multidisciplinar que contribuye ampliamente en los debates sobre los problemas que trae consigo el crecimiento de las ciudades.
El nacimiento de un nuevo barrio: El caso del Conjunto Urbano Padre Mugica en la ciudad de Buenos Aires y sus impactos sobre las estructuras de oportunidades de sus habitantes
Authors: Najman Mercedes 
Published: July 2017

El presente artículo busca aportar reflexiones acerca de los efectos sobre la inclusión social y el acceso al goce de las externalidades positivas de la ciudad que producen las “nuevas” políticas de hábitat implementadas en Argentina en el período denominado neo-desarrollista. El programa que impulsó la construcción del Conjunto Urbano Padre Mugica representa un caso paradigmático mediante el cual observar los impactos del Estado a través de programas orientados a la inclusiónsocial por medio de acciones destinadas a solucionar el déficit habitacional y laboral. El análisis de este caso particular a través de su diseño, gestión e implementación, nos ha permitido problematizar la existencia de un quiebre entre la lógica de las políticas de vivienda social tradicionales frente a las nuevas, así como comprender algunos de sus efectos sobre el territorio y sobre los niveles de bienestar e integración social de los hogares destinatarios.
Conflictos de apropiación de residuos reciclables e innovaciones socioinstitucionales en Lima
Authors: Rateau Mélanie 
Published: July 2017

Durante muchos años, las políticas públicas de manejo de los residuos desarrollaban acciones de represión hacia los actores del reciclaje informal. En Perú, desde la Ley del Reciclador del 2009, las políticas públicas se posicionan en favor de un reciclaje inclusivo, mediante la integración de los recicladores. Movilizando los conceptos de innovación socio-institucional y apropiación deresiduos reciclables, el objetivo de este artículo es sustentar que las modalidades de implementación de la Ley conducen a la creación de modelos de gestión de residuos reciclables innovadores que permiten mitigar el conflicto del acceso a estos residuos entre recicladores formales, pero al mismo tiempo, este conflicto se desplaza desde el conjunto de los recicladores hacia generar una rivalidad entre formales e informales. Se destaca que, gracias a las innovaciones socio-institucionales, el nuevo interés institucional para el recojo selectivo no conduce a la creación de un conflicto de apropiación entre el servicio público de gestión y la lógica mercantil de reciclaje, como pudo haber sido.
Feline Hyperthyroidism and the Importance of Effective Client Communication
Authors: Druce Kelly 
Published: July 2017

Effective client communication is a widely discussed topic and one of great importance. Clients should be fully informed when making decisions regarding treatment for their pets. With nurses taking greater responsibility for delivery of such information, it is essential that they are able to convey current and non-bias information and discuss clearly all possible treatment options. Feline hyperthyroidism is a common disease seen in veterinary practice and diagnosis can be complicated. With multiple treatment options available nurses involved in the care of these patients must feel confident that they can advise clients on the advantages and potential draw backs of each treatment and support clients to make informed decisions. This article will explore the clinical signs of feline hyperthyroidism, methods of obtaining an accurate diagnosis and the treatment options currently available. The importance of effective communication in regards to the disease will be highlighted throughout.
Peri-talar re-alignment osteotomy for joint preservation in asymmetrical ankle osteoarthritis
Authors: Yi Young , Lee Woochun 
Published: July 2017

Various types of re-alignment surgery are used to preserve the ankle joint in cases of intermediate ankle arthritis with partial joint space narrowing. The short-term and mid-term results after re-alignment surgery are promising, with substantial post-operative pain relief and functional improvement that is reflected by high rates of patient satisfaction. In this context, re-alignment surgery can preserve the joint and reduce the pathological load that acts on the affected area. Good clinical and radiological outcomes can be achieved in asymmetrical ankle osteoarthritis by understanding the specific deformities and appropriate indications for different surgical techniques.Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2017;2:324-331.

Nhimbe/ilima performance as peace-building activity: An ethnographic enquiry
Authors: Makumbirofa Ruth 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Performance-based processes can play a cultural role in interrogating socio-political and economic dimensions of conflict within communities. In this article, elements of Nhimbe/ilima performances are analysed and used to demonstrate how the cultural practice was appropriated into a theatre for development project addressing a conflict that was essentially a struggle for resources. This was achieved through creating artistic processes which used the Nhimbe/ilima practice within a sociopolitical and economic framework. In subjects such as peace building, it is essential to use the vast potential of performance to empower people with skills, to enable them to, and to create opportunities for them to practice conflict resolution. Peace building is hardly an abstract practice. Rather people learn to coexist and they can be empowered to do so by participating in performance based activity. Furthermore, peace building processes should also take into cognisance peoples’ indigenous knowledge systems and modes of communication so that interventions are meaningful and acceptable to them. The study also demonstrates how building upon people’s cultural heritage ensures continuity, fosters self-sufficiency and sustainability.
Of Palestine and other things: The spectre of untranslated songs in Elia Suleiman’s The Time that Remains
Authors: Al-Mahadin Salam 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
This article has its origins in a more ambitious project tackling instances of screen dialogues that remain unsubtitled, rendering them incomprehensible to viewers from foreign linguistic communities. Palestinian director Elia Suleiman’s The Time that Remains (2009) was intended to take up a modest section of a few paragraphs elaborating on the function of tarab songs in mediating the affective-discursive modalities of the film, but the narrative resisted the oppressive – and deeply regulated – confinements of a representational analysis. Rather than receding to the background, the songs seemed to insert themselves along ruptures transcending the pure discursivity of the soundtrack, giving rise to a question that forms the thrust of the article: what affective-discursive function do these songs serve and how much meaning is lost by failing to subtitle them for the benefit of non-Arab audience? Drawing upon insights from affective-discursive theories, Deleuzian approaches to cinema and Heideggerian insights into the nature of understanding, what follows is an investigation of the relationship between cinema and translation, specifically how subtitles merit examination as a unique form of praxis. I shall argue that songs and some objects in films interpellate viewers on both representational and non-representational planes of meaning-construction that often gets lost in audio-visual translation.
Soma-conceptual choreographic strategies in Boris Charmatz’s enfant
Authors: Hildebrandt Antje 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
This article explores the sociocultural and political potential of touch-based somatic practices in relation to a performance by French conceptual choreographer Boris Charmatz entitled enfant (child) from 2011. By doing so it aims to bring together two seemingly incommensurable approaches to choreography: somatic and conceptual practices of dance. enfant is a piece for ten to 26 children (between the age of 6–12), nine professional adult dancers and two machines. The first half of the piece sees the adults manipulating the children, who seem to be asleep, in a doll-like fashion. Though some of the images are visually beautiful and virtuous, there is a sinister tone to the choreography. The piece explores the sensitivities and anxieties around the politics of touching children, addressing social taboos as the children seem vulnerable and helpless at first. As the piece progresses the tables turn, the children awake and start to play and manipulate the adults in a joyful explosion of activity, energy and power. In this article I’m interested in examining how somatic practices, as essentially the ‘undoing’ of learned behaviour, can be extended beyond the body of the individual to the collective and/or social body. Ultimately it questions what the status of children in our society is and how touch-based somatic practices can embody a critique of social, cultural and political norms in the twenty-first century.

Does Job Satisfaction Increase Sales and Customer Satisfaction? Evidence from Retail Banking in South Korea
Authors: Gil Ricard , Kim Myongjin , Koo Inhyouk 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
This paper estimates the causal relationship between job satisfaction and worker productivity. Using personnel records from a retail bank in South Korea, we show that branch productivity is positively associated to average job satisfaction, but negatively to its standard deviation. We address endogeneity concerns using IV strategies and find that while higher job satisfaction may increase short term productivity through sales to existing customers, excessive sales to existing customers may hurt customer satisfaction and willingness to recommend in the long run. Our findings suggest that average job satisfaction and its dispersion are equally important to understand worker productivity.
Various glycolysis inhibitor-containing tubes for glucose measurement cannot be used interchangeably due to clinically unacceptable biases between them
Authors: Saracevic Andrea , Dukic Lora , Juricic Gordana , Milevoj Kopcinovic Lara , Mirosevic Gorana , Simundic Ana-Maria 
Published: July 2017

Abstract

Background:
The aim of our study was to determine the difference between glucose concentration measured 30 min after venipuncture in ice-chilled heparin plasma sample and all currently available citrate buffer-containing tubes (Greiner Glucomedics, Greiner FC Mix and Sarstedt GlucoEXACT) and still widely used sodium fluoride/potassium oxalate (NaF/Kox) tubes from Greiner.

Methods:
Blood was collected from 20 healthy volunteers and 20 patients with diabetes into LiH, NaF/KOx, Glucomedics, FC mix and GlucoEXACT tubes. Glucose was measured within 30 min from blood sampling in duplicate on the Architect c8000 analyzer. Mean biases between all tube types were calculated and compared to the recommended criteria (1.95%). Additionally, glucose concentrations measured in all five tube types were compared using the Friedman test.

Results:
In the entire studied population, glucose concentrations measured in Glucomedics, FC mix and GlucoEXACT were higher (7.3%, 3.2% and 2.0%, respectively) than in the ice-chilled LiH tubes. When all glycolysis inhibitor-containing tubes were compared, Glucomedics tubes significantly differed from GlucoEXACT and FC mix tubes (biases −4.9% and 4.0%, respectively). In addition, there was a significant difference between the NaF/KOx tube and Glucomedics, as well as FC mix tubes (biases 7.1% and 3.0%, respectively).

Conclusions:
Glucose concentrations measured in recommended ice-chilled lithium heparin- and citrate buffer-containing tubes are not comparable. Significant biases exist between various glycolysis inhibitor-containing tubes; therefore, they cannot be used interchangeably.

Formation of Non-metallic Inclusions of Si-killed Stainless Steel during GOR Refining Process
Authors: Li Liu-yi , Cheng Guo-guang , Hu Bin , Wang Cheng-shun , Qian Guo-yu 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThe formation mechanism of inclusions in Si-killed 304 stainless steel was studied by industrial experiments during GOR refining process and thermodynamic calculations. A lager number of CaO-SiO2-MgO-Al2O3-MnO-CrOx liquid spherical inclusions with different size (from 1 μm to 22 μm) had been found after deoxidization of FeSi alloy in 10 minutes. The calculation result of FactSage 6.3 software assisted in confirming that the inclusions in size of less than 5 μm that had less than 30 % CaO mainly came from the deoxidation of FeSi alloy with Ca and Al. The inclusions in size of more than 5 μm that had more than 30 % CaO mainly came from the modification of involved slag droplets through the oxidation of Si and Al and the collision with deoxidation-type inclusions, and the degree of change was bigger for smaller inclusions. The MgO in slag and refractory was reduced by Si and Al in steel, which leaded to the unceasingly increase of Mg content in steel. Subsequently, SiO2, MnO and CrOx in inclusion were reduced by Mg, which resulted in the increase of MgO content in inclusion and the degree of increase of MgO content was greater for the larger size of inclusions.
Austrian Constitutional Court: The Constitutionality of Restrictions on Nullity Appeals in Law of Criminal Procedure
Authors: Gärner Christoph 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
The limitation of nullity appeals to cases of ‘serious concerns regarding the correctness of the facts’ on which the lower court based upon its decision is in conformity with constitutional law. It does not violate the procedural safeguards protected by Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights or the right to equal protection under the law protected by Article 7 of the Austrian Federal Constitutional Law. Despite the restrictive application in the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of Austria, the limitation is proportionate und thus constitutional, as such limitations only apply to rulings by a penal of lay judges.
