Undiscovered Diamonds: The Minority Gifted Child
Authors: Baldwin Alexinia Y. 
Published: March 2017

A disproportionately low number of minority students have been identified and placed in programs for gifted students. The realities of the situation relate to the attitudes of planners and teachers, the identification process itself, inadequate research verifying the use of appropriate identification tools, and an inadequate picture of how a program should be designed. Empirical research on identification and planning for the minority gifted child is sparse, but that which is available highlights the need for more extensive research in this area. Exploratory research using The Raven Matrices and chronometric devices as part of the identification process appear to hold promise for developing new hypotheses and proving or disproving those that are presently proposed. More flexibility of planning, more funding for research, more dissemination of information, and improved teacher training on how to recognize clues for identifying exceptional intellectual processing abilities are among the recommendations proposed here to alleviate the problem of discovering the gifted among minority populations.

Background: Patients with advanced diseases often experience deficient continuity of care. Although integrated palliative care promotes continuity of care, it is not clear how it can be optimized to improve continuity of care experiences. Aim: To examine how relational, informational and management continuity of care are experienced by patients with advanced diseases and their family caregivers receiving care from several integrated palliative care initiatives in five European countries. Design: We adopted a longitudinal qualitative study design including two interviews (interval 3 months) with patients and family caregivers focusing on how health care professionals responded to their needs. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Analysis involved a two-step qualitative content approach. Setting/participants: A total of 22 integrated palliative care initiatives (established local palliative care collaborations) were selected in Belgium, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. We recruited 152 patients (63% cancer, 24% chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 13% heart failure; life expectancy <1 year; mean age 68 years, 56% female) and 92 family caregivers (mean age 61 years, 66% female). Results: Trusted relationships with a small number of key health care professionals to receive tailored care and easily access help were essential. Relational continuity was often deficient, especially with general practitioners. Although informational and management continuity was often lacking in care provision, collaborative integrated palliative care initiatives were related to consistent and coherent care. Conclusion: Patients and family caregivers most likely experience continuity of care by having a small number of trusted health care professionals who are available, provide multidisciplinary care and regularly transfer information to all health care professionals involved. Optimizing continuity of care requires further integration of integrated palliative care initiatives with other health care professionals involved in the patients’ care networks.

Published: March 2017

Background: Total ankle arthroplasty (TAR) has been shown to be a cost-effective procedure relative to conservative management and ankle arthrodesis. Although its use has grown considerably over the last 2 decades, it is less common than arthrodesis. The purpose of this investigation was to analyze the cost and utilization of TAR across hospitals. Methods: Our analytical sample consisted of Medicare claims data from 2011 and 2012 for Inpatient Prospective Payment System hospitals. Outcome variables of interest were the likelihood of a hospital performing TAR, the volume of TAR cases, TAR hospital costs, and hospital profit margins. Data from the 2010 Cost Report and Medicare inpatient claims were utilized to compute average margins for TAR cases and overall hospital margins. TAR cost was calculated based on the all payer cost-to-charge ratio for each hospital in the Cost Report. Nationwide Inpatient Sample data were used to generate descriptive statistics on all TAR patients across payers. Results: Medicare participants accounted for 47.5% of the overall population of TAR patients. Average implant cost was $13 034, accounting for approximately 70% of the total all-payer cost. Approximately, one-third of hospitals were profitable with respect to primary TAR. Profitable hospitals had lower total costs and higher payments leading to a difference in profit of approximately $11 000 from TAR surgeries between profitable and nonprofitable hospitals. No difference was noted with respect to length of stay or number of cases performed between profitable and nonprofitable hospitals. TAR surgeries were more likely to take place in large and major teaching hospitals. Among hospitals performing at least 1 TAR, the margin on TAR cases was positively associated with the total number of TARs performed by a hospital. Conclusion: There is an overall significant financial burden associated with performing TAR with many health systems failing to demonstrate profitability despite its increased utilization. While additional factors such as improved patient outcomes may be driving utilization of TAR, financial barriers may exist that can affect utilization of TAR across health systems.

Published: March 2017

Background: The development of disturbances in skin microcirculation in type 1 diabetes is not well characterised. We assessed skin microcirculation longitudinally from the onset of diabetes up to 29 years of duration to investigate when such disturbances start. Material and methods: Seventeen adult patients with type 1 diabetes participated. Skin microvascular function in digit IV of the left hand was investigated by laser Doppler fluxmetry (LDF, arbitrary units [AU]). LDF was carried out at rest and following one-min arterial occlusion. Time to peak LDF (s) and percentage increase of LDF (post-occlusive reactive hyperaemia, PRH%) were determined. Retinopathy was assessed from fundus photographs or ophthalmoscopic recordings. Results: Skin microvascular function remained normal during the first five years. Compared with baseline and a non-diabetic reference group, time to peak LDF was prolonged after 7–9 years of diabetes ( p < 0.01). PRH% was lower than in the reference group after 7–9 years ( p < 0.01), and lower than baseline after 24–29 years of diabetes ( p < 0.05). All but one patient developed retinopathy and the first signs were found after 10 years of diabetes. Conclusions: Functional disturbances in total skin microcirculation were observed after seven years in patients with type 1 diabetes and preceded diabetic complications such as retinopathy.

A multiple regression method for estimating Li in tourmaline from electron microprobe analyses
Authors: Pesquera A. , Gil-Crespo P. P. , Torres-Ruiz F. , Torres-Ruiz J. , Roda-Robles E. 
Published: March 2017

AbstractLithium cannot be determined by electron microprobe, but it may be an essential component in tourmalinesupergroup minerals. Therefore, its estimation is important for structural formula calculation and nomenclature. In this paper, we present a method to estimate Li content in tourmaline from microprobe data based on a multiple linear-regression model, which is not reliant on a particular normalization scheme. The results derived from this model are reasonably accurate, particularly for low-Mg tourmalines (<2 wt.% MgO) with Li2O contents higher than ∼0.3 wt.%. Furthermore, it provides a better fitness compared with estimations of Li assuming that Li fills any cation deficiency at the Y site.
The early semantics of the neologism BREXIT: a lexicogrammatical approach
Authors: Fontaine Lise 
Published: March 2017

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to examine the nominality of the neologism BREXIT using a corpus-informed lexicogrammatical approach. The term BREXIT, coined in 2012, used initially in print and social media in the UK is now internationally wide-spread. BREXIT is a blend of British + exit, which expresses the meaning of’Britain exiting from the EU’. Although ‘Brexit’ clearly expresses an event (motion) meaning, as a nominalization, it also expresses nominal meaning. In systemic functional linguistics (SFL), nominalization is much broader than lexical derivation and is treated as a means of conceptualising and encoding experience. In this paper the development of BREXIT is explored using a corpus of 1,641,903 words including 2,435 instances of BREXIT from its first use in May 2012 to the UK general election in 2015. Capturing the development of this term from its initial use allows some insight into the intended meanings of the speaker due to the glosses provided. These appositional expressions are combined with the collocations found in the corpus. The results show that while the meanings identifiable in the corpus are entirely nominal in use, the term encodes complex meanings of event-oriented meanings and of hypotheticality. In examining the nominal status of BREXIT, I show that not all nominalizations are instances of grammatical metaphor.

Abstract
Cesium, in particular radioactive Cs 137 is currently a significant environmental problem in Japan following the incident at the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant caused by the Great East Japan earthquake. Although radioscopes and gamma ray cameras have been developing to visualize radioactive species or contamination, it is not necessarily a simple matter to locate sources of contamination under high levels of background radiation. However, supramolecular approaches for environmental sensing of analyses are useful in the design of high-resolution molecular sensors. Here, we have developed an optical imaging technique for cesium ions involving an optode system in environmental water. An optode membrane was prepared incorporating a calix[6]arene derivative, which showed excellent selectivity toward cesium ions in aqueous solutions, even in water supplied for domestic use or seawater. Furthermore, this membrane was fabricated using nanoparticles with a diameter of ca. 100 nm. The nano-optode also gave an excellent response to cesium ions. Therefore, this optode provides a higher spatial resolution than existing radioscopes and gamma ray cameras under high level radioactive environments.

Published: March 2017

The article deals with the methodological issues of adapting the management of an organization to the conditions of the development mechanism functioning. Organization´s management system in the conditions of development mechanism functioning include the main elements: management body, system body of development, a thesaurus, and an information management system filter.
This article examines adaptation of the management of an organization regarding the two concepts of its development: economic reengineering (revolutionary development model) and organizational development (evolutionary model). Economic reengineering is the fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of the organization, organizational development - long-term and comprehensive process of change and development of the organization. Adaptation processes of management of an organization are conceptually considered as a continuous gradual evolution of the current management system. The practical implementing the adaptation process of management of an organization to the conditions of development mechanism functioning as part of the concept of organizational development (in terms of active management systems) can be represented as a sequence of implementing the following basic tasks:
	determination of the place, subordination, and staffing of the bodies ensuring the functioning of the mechanism;
	ascertainment of the functions (starting functions) performed by these bodies;
	establishment of an appropriate regulatory framework for the development mechanism functioning;
	comprehensive automation implementation of management of an organization in the conditions of development mechanism functioning;
	creation of the new information and communication linkages of development mechanism with departments and environment of an organization;
	building and analysis of the existing organization structures: target, functional, and organizational.

The article deals with the problems and the concept of forming and management systems of tactically independent enterprise units of medium and large industrial organizations.
The authors provide the definition of &#34;system of tactically independent enterprise units&#34;. System tactically independent enterprise units - it is ,firstly, a certain type of industrial organization of the management structure, consisting of a tactically independent units with a common basic strategic component; secondly, it is a management style aimed at the decentralization of business activities within the organization in order to optimize corporate synergy.
The ways to of divide industrial organizations in tactically independent enterprise units are offered.
Within the specified concept the authors describe the principles, conditions and possible ways of creating and managing an organization with a system of tactically independent enterprise units and define the stages of the process and the choice of governance forms for these units.
The article shows the need to allocate tactically independent enterprise units when the implementing concept of focus of power at the industrial enterprises.
The authors note that simultaneous achieving maximum efficiency in all major manufacturing indicators is almost impossible and inadvisable. Every industrial organization should carry out a limited number of specific tasks aimed at implementation of its corporate objectives.
The authors prove that the system of tactically independent enterprise units can also be considered as one of the most effective methods of organizational changes in industrial organization.

An important condition for sustainable regional development is the revitalization of investment activity, which aims at attracting financial and material resources of domestic and foreign investors, and their sustainable use in priority sectors of economy. The investments involved in the economy of a region, is one of the criteria of efficiency of its functioning. However there is a huge gap between the achieved level of investments into economy of Russian regions and the level that is necessary to ensure their sustainable development.
In modern terms both Russian and foreign investors are more and more interested in the most important sectors of the economy of the cities of southern suburbs. It is connected with that the city&#180;s southern suburbs have an advantageous geographical position, developed economy, research, employment and recreational potential.
The economic structure of the cities in Southern Moscow region, revenues, employment, improvement of the business environment depend on their investment attractiveness. This means that the income of additional financial resources to the city budget will allow to accelerate its development, and, ultimately, to improve the quality of life of the population.
Attracting investors under the modern conditions of comfortable creative climate is more attainable objective than the search for industrial solutions to the development of depressed areas. In this regard, the city&#180;s of Southern Moscow region strive to create a favorable investment environment for capital allocation by the major players of the investment market.

Portfolio Selection with Capital Gains Tax, Recursive Utility, and Regime Switching
Authors: Cai Jiatu , Chen Xinfu , Dai Min 
Published: March 2017

Capital gains taxation has important implications for investors’ portfolio choice decisions. To explore these implications, we develop a continuous time investment and consumption model with capital gains tax, Epstein–Zin recursive utility, and regime switching. We find that various factors, such as tax rate, risk aversion, interest rate, stock return, and volatility, jointly affect optimal portfolio allocation, whereas intertemporal substitution does not. In a regime switching market, investors may trade or stop trading purely because of a change in regime, and there is a distinct cross-regime effect on optimal portfolio allocation. In particular, investors tend to raise stock investment in a bear regime so as to reduce potential tax payments upon regime switching. Given reasonable parameter values, regime switching has a greater impact on optimal portfolio allocation in a bear regime than in a bull regime. This paper was accepted by Neng Wang, finance.
Enculturation Trajectories: Language, Cultural Adaptation, and Individual Outcomes in Organizations
Authors: Srivastava Sameer B. , Goldberg Amir , Manian V. Govind , Potts Christopher 
Published: March 2017

How do people adapt to organizational culture, and what are the consequences for their outcomes in the organization? These fundamental questions about culture have previously been examined using self-report measures, which are subject to reporting bias, rely on coarse cultural categories defined by researchers, and provide only static snapshots of cultural fit. By contrast, we develop an interactional language use model that overcomes these limitations and opens new avenues for theoretical development about the dynamics of organizational culture. We trace the enculturation trajectories of employees in a midsized technology firm based on analyses of 10.24 million internal emails. Our language-based model of changing cultural fit (1) predicts individual attainment; (2) reveals distinct patterns of adaptation for employees who exit voluntarily, exit involuntarily, and remain employed; (3) demonstrates that rapid early cultural adaptation reduces the risk of involuntary, but not voluntary, exit; and (4) finds that a decline in cultural fit for individuals who had successfully enculturated portends voluntary departure.
