An Exploratory factor analysis into the applicability of the Spirituality Care-Giving Scale, the Spirituality Care Rating scale and the Spirituality in Occupational Therapy Scale to the South African context
Authors: Mthembu Thuli Godfrey , Roman Nicolette Vanessa , Wegner Lisa 
Published: July 2016

Spirituality and spiritual care are both considered as important elements of health sciences education; however, limited research has been conducted with occupational therapy students using spirituality scales. Therefore, this study assessed the internal consistency component of reliability and carried out factor analyses of three spiritualityscales which examined the perceptions and attitudes of South African undergraduate occupational therapy students regarding spirituality and spiritual care. This study used a cross-sectional survey design using convenience sampling to recruit 100 participants. The internal consistency of the instruments evaluatedshowedsatisfactory reliability: i.e. the Spiritual Care-Giving Scale (Î±=0.946), the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (Î±= 0.764) and the Spirituality in Occupational Therapy scale (Î±=0.868). The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of Sampling Adequacy values was 0.862, 0.883, and 0.868 respectively, indicating the appropriateness of the factor analysis. Factor analysis from varimax rotated results was also performed to identify the patterns of spirituality and spiritual care within the instruments. The total variances of the instruments were acceptable at 59.1, 67.6 and 69.8% respectively. An implication of these findings is the possibility that exposing occupational therapy students to spirituality and spiritual care could be useful for them to gain insight into and be sensitive to the clients' spiritual needs. Further research should be undertaken in other institutions of higher learning that offer occupational therapy programmes.Â Â Â Keywords: Exploratory factor analysis, reliability, spirituality, spiritual care, occupational therapy

Drugs for the etiologic treatment of Chagas disease: Myths and Truths
Authors: Rivero Cynthia V , Romano Patricia Silvia 
Published: July 2016

<p>Chagas disease is a life-threatening illness caused by the protozoan parasite <em>Trypanosoma cruzi</em>. One of the characteristics of chronic chagasic infection is the parasitic persistence in cardiac and smooth muscle tissues. For this reason etiologic treatment of Chagas disease in all phases of infection is highly recommended. Despite the high number of trypanocidal drugs that have been discovered in the last years, only two compounds, Benznidazole and Nifurtimox remain as the unique drugs approved for Chagas treatment. Far from ideal, these drugs display low sensitivity and specificity resulting in limited applications, mainly in the onset of the acute phase. Thus there is an urgent need to validate new anti- <em>T. cruzi</em> drugs that can be applied even in the cases of chronic patients, those who today have no safe and effective treatment available. This paper reviews the most important compounds that have been tested in clinical trials and the results obtained to date.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p>

How should we teach diverse students? Cross-cultural comparison of diversity issues in K-12 schools in Japan and the US
Authors: Shimomura Fuyu 
Published: July 2016

Increasing student diversity in K-12 schools has gained attention in Japan and the US. In the US, racial diversity has historically shaped inequity in educational access and teacher quality. In Japan, regardless of its reputation for cultural homogeneity among its residents, issues surrounding student diversity have gained attention because of the increasing number of returnees—Japanese students raised overseas because of their parents’ expatriation. This paper compares and contrasts the diversity issues in K-12 school settings in both countries, and explores potential approaches to improve the accommodation of diversity in K-12 schools.
Place-Based Initiatives to Improve Health in Disadvantaged Communities: Cross-Sector Characteristics and Networks of Local Actors in North Carolina
Authors: Dupre Matthew E. , Moody James , Nelson Alicia , Willis Janese M. , Fuller Lori , Smart Allen J. , Easterling Doug , Silberberg Mina 
Published: July 2016

Objectives. To examine the leadership attributes and collaborative connections of local actors from the health sector and those outside the health sector in a major place-based health initiative. Methods. We used survey data from 340 individuals in 4 Healthy Places North Carolina counties from 2014 to assess the leadership attributes (awareness, attitudes, and capacity) and network connections of local actors by their organizational sector. Results. Respondents’ leadership attributes—scored on 5-point Likert scales—were similar across Healthy Places North Carolina counties. Although local actors reported high levels of awareness and collaboration around community health improvement, we found lower levels of capacity for connecting diversity, identifying barriers, and using resources in new ways to improve community health. Actors outside the health sector had generally lower levels of capacity than actors in the health sector. Those in the health sector exhibited the majority of network ties in their community; however, they were also the most segregated from actors in other sectors. Conclusions. More capacity building around strategic action—particularly in nonhealth sectors—is needed to support efforts in making widespread changes to community health.

Pénzügyi válság, gazdaságpolitika és a közgazdaságtudomány (Nemegyensúlyi paradigma)
Authors: Moczar Jozsef 
Published: July 2016

A 2007–2009-es pénzügyi válság kapcsán számos politikus, közgazdász, de más tudományág képviselői is feltették a kérdést: miért nem lehetett elkerülni a válságot, miért nem bizonyult sikeresnek a közgazdaságtudomány a megelőzésében? E cikk az eddigiektől eltérően új választ ad e kérdésekre. Fő érve, hogy a gyakorlati gazdaságpolitika zsákutcába jutott, amikor a közgazdászok hosszú időre elfogadták a hatékony piac elméletén alapuló egyensúlyi modelleket. A múlt század közepén megjelent statikus egyensúlyi paradigma oly erősen uralkodik mind a mai napig, hogy sem Kornai (1971), sem Benassy (1982), sőt Goodwin (1991) intelmeit sem vették komolyan. A gazdaság ugyanis szinte sohasincs egyensúlyban, így „egyenletrendszereik” semmilyen útmutatást sem adhatnak a politikusoknak, hogy mit is kellene tenniük a felerősödött válságok idején. A Dornbusch-modell (1976) vagy Krugman–Obstfeld (2000) tankönyvi magyarázatai is pénzpiaci egyensúlyi helyzetből indulnak ki, és csak egy másik egyensúlyi helyzetbe történő átmenet mechanikáját írja le kis nyitott gazdaságokban. A szerző legújabb könyve (Móczár 2008) egy új paradigmához, a nemegyensúlyi modellezéshez nyit utat, aminek fel kell váltania az ortodox egyensúlyi paradigmát, hogy kezelni tudjuk a buborékokat, hogy megengedjük a pénzpiacok szabályozását stb. Itt most felvázoljuk ennek szükségességét.

Nyugat-Balkán: a mezőgazdaság lehetőségei az EU-csatlakozás küszöbén
Authors: Mizik Tamás 
Published: July 2016

A nyugat-balkáni országok deklarált célja azonos, mégpedig az Európai Unióhoz történő mielőbbi csatlakozás, aminek egyik fontos területe a mezőgazdaság. A vizsgált országok ebből a szempontból nagykülönbségeket mutatnak, azonban közös bennük, hogy a szektor súlya nagyobb, mint az uniós átlag. Jelen tanulmány áttekinti az alapvető mezőgazdasági indikátorokat, amelyek segítségével pontos képetlehet kapni az agrárszektor szerepéről, helyzetéről, termelési szerkezetéről, teljesítményéről és a külpiaci kapcsolatairól. A szektor teljesítményének változásait az azok hátterében meghúzódó okok követik (az inputfelhasználás alakulása, üzemszerkezet, árak és cserearányok, illetve az agrárpolitika). Az elemzés a legfrissebb elérhető évekre koncentrál. Az elmúlt néhány év alatt Szerbia a régió vezető mezőgazdasági termelőjévé és egyetlen nettó exportőrévé vált. A helyzet azonban számos veszélyforrást rejt magában (eltolódott ágazati egyensúly, elaprózódott birtokszerkezet, relatíve alacsony hozamok, előnytelen exportszerkezet, élelmiszerhigiénia és minőségellenőrzési rendszerek), amelyek miatt fájdalmas és nehéz feladatok várnak még a térség országaira.

The Conditions of and Requirements for the Formation of Clusters in Biotechnology
Authors: Domonkos David 
Published: July 2016

In this article, with the help of the value chain model, I explain the functioning of biotech clusters. The “cluster” phrase was originally defined by Porter. In my opinion, the problem with Porter’s and other classical definitions of a cluster is that they are static, whereas the main feature of clusters’ is actually their dynamic nature. This is the reason why the following should also be included in the definition:– clusters emerge in a turbulent way: processes cannot be foreseen due to the lack of linearity.– a cluster, however, is a kind of an arena, because dense and changing vertical input-output relations and connections between horizontal organizations always generate a sort of a need for change.– clusters cause changes in the innovation policy, as they support the evolution of a policy which is appropriate for cluster formation. That is, they act as catalysts for the formation of better conditions.Accordingly, Porter’s original definition needs modification.

munkaerő-piaci intézmények hatásai a foglalkoztatásra szektorális megközelítésben
Authors: Máté Domicián 
Published: July 2016

Az utóbbi években ismét felerősödtek a munkaerő-piaci intézmények szerepével kapcsolatos viták. A vizsgálatok azonban mára már nem elsősorban a miért léteznek és hogyan jöttek létre problémákra fokuszálnak, hanem sokkal inkább arra, hogy miért olyanok amilyenek és vajon milyen tényleges tartalommal bírnak a gazdasági szereplők számára. A tanulmányban a munkaerő-piaci intézmények közül a szakszervezetekre, a minimálbérekre, a munkanélküliek támogatására, valamint a piaci szabályozásra és politikákra koncentrálunk. Az empirikus elemzések eredményeként megállapítható, hogy a piaci és nem piaci szektorokban ezek eltérő módon befolyásolják a foglalkoztatás alakulását. Az elvégzett vizsgálatok továbbá rávilágítottak az időtényező releváns szerepére, ugyanis eltérő időtávokban ugyanazon intézmény különböző makrogazdasági hatásmechanizmusokat fejthet ki.

Efficiency and resource allocation: the Hungarian managed health care system
Authors: Jona Gyorgy 
Published: July 2016

The managed health care system (MHCS) was introduced and applied in Hungary between 1999 and 2009. The gradually expanding system covered only 22% of the population and included exclusively the curative-preventive health care, subsidy on medicaments, subsidy on therapeutic appliances and the spa service. Like anywhere else it was cost-effectiveness that was expected from the MHCS without the adverse effect in the quality of the health service. To decide whether the MHCS was successful in Hungary or not, we compare it with the results of those segments of the health system where the MHCS was not introduced. We use the method of the incremental cost analysis. We are making our comparison exclusively on the basis of health economics aspects, because no difference has evolved in the quality of the medical attendances. We will see that where the MHCS was applied, the medical attendance became cheaper, at those places where the MHCS was not applied the medical attendance became more expensive, causing a chronic financial deficit (137785 million HUF). Although the MHCS managed from less money, it gained 17767 million HUF during the mentioned ten years. We are going to present the general features of the MHCS and support the fact that the outcome of the managed care concept was rationalized and the savings in several segments of health care, by means of empirical evidence.

FOUR DUAL AGN CANDIDATES OBSERVED WITH THE VLBA
Authors: Gabányi K. É. , An T. , Frey S. , Komossa S. , Paragi Z. , Hong X.-Y. , Shen Z.-Q. 
Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT
According to hierarchical structure formation models, merging galaxies are expected to be seen in different stages of coalescence. However, there are currently no straightforward observational methods to either select or to confirm a large number of dual active galactic nucleus (AGN) candidates. Most attempts involve obtaining a better understanding of double-peaked narrow emission line sources, in order to distinguish the objects for which the emission lines originate from narrow-line kinematics or jet-driven outflows, from those which might harbor dual AGNs. We observed four such candidate sources with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), at 1.5 GHz with a ∼10 mas angular resolution, for which the spectral profiles of AGN optical emission suggested the existence of dual AGNs. In SDSS J210449.13–000919.1 and SDSS J23044.82–093345.3 the radio structures are aligned with the optical emission features, thus the double-peaked emission lines might be the results of jet-driven outflows. In the third detected source SDSS J115523.74+150756.9, the radio structure is less extended and is oriented nearly perpendicular to the position angle derived from optical spectroscopy. The fourth source remained undetected with the VLBA, but it was imaged with the Very Large Array at arcsec resolution a few months before our observations, suggesting the existence of an extended radio structure. We did not detect two radio-emitting cores in any of the four sources, a convincing signature of duality.
THE SPECTACULAR RADIO-NEAR-IR-X-RAY JET OF 3C 111: THE X-RAY EMISSION MECHANISM AND JET KINEMATICS

Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT
Relativistic jets are the most energetic manifestation of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) phenomenon. AGN jets are observed from the radio through gamma-rays and carry copious amounts of matter and energy from the sub-parsec central regions out to the kiloparsec and often megaparsec scale galaxy and cluster environs. While most spatially resolved jets are seen in the radio, an increasing number have been discovered to emit in the optical/near-IR and/or X-ray bands. Here we discuss a spectacular example of this class, the 3C 111 jet, housed in one of the nearest, double-lobed FR II radio galaxies known. We discuss new, deep Chandra and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations that reveal both near-IR and X-ray emission from several components of the 3C 111 jet, as well as both the northern and southern hotspots. Important differences are seen between the morphologies in the radio, X-ray, and near-IR bands. The long (over 100 kpc on each side), straight nature of this jet makes it an excellent prototype for future, deep observations, as it is one of the longest such features seen in the radio, near-IR/optical, and X-ray bands. Several independent lines of evidence, including the X-ray and broadband spectral shape as well as the implied velocity of the approaching hotspot, lead us to strongly disfavor the EC/CMB model and instead favor a two-component synchrotron model to explain the observed X-ray emission for several jet components. Future observations with NuSTAR, HST, and Chandra will allow us to further constrain the emission mechanisms.
UNVEILING THE GAMMA-RAY SOURCE COUNT DISTRIBUTION BELOW THE FERMI DETECTION LIMIT WITH PHOTON STATISTICS

ABSTRACT
The source-count distribution as a function of their flux,

, is one of the main quantities characterizing gamma-ray source populations. We employ statistical properties of the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) photon counts map to measure the composition of the extragalactic gamma-ray sky at high latitudes (

°) between 1 and 10 GeV. We present a new method, generalizing the use of standard pixel-count statistics, to decompose the total observed gamma-ray emission into (a) point-source contributions, (b) the Galactic foreground contribution, and (c) a truly diffuse isotropic background contribution. Using the 6 yr Fermi-LAT data set (P7REP), we show that the

distribution in the regime of so far undetected point sources can be consistently described with a power law with an index between 1.9 and 2.0. We measure

down to an integral flux of

improving beyond the 3FGL catalog detection limit by about one order of magnitude. The overall

distribution is consistent with a broken power law, with a break at

The power-law index

for bright sources above the break hardens to

for fainter sources below the break. A possible second break of the

distribution is constrained to be at fluxes below

at 95% confidence level. The high-latitude gamma-ray sky between 1 and 10 GeV is shown to be composed of ∼25% point sources, ∼69.3% diffuse Galactic foreground emission, and ∼6% isotropic diffuse background.

Authors: Wilbeck Jennifer , Collins Michelle , Reeves Geri , Downes Elizabeth 
Published: July 2016

Background:
In attempts to simultaneously address the 2008 Consensus model and meet the growing need for advanced practice nurses with a robust scope of practice, some schools of nursing offer dual advanced practice nursing (APN) programs.

Method:
Built on the successes of multiple dual programs at two universities, this article provides specific practice strategies to enhance academic success among students and faculty in dual-specialty APN programs.

Results:
Faculty- and student-led strategies are outlined, addressing the academic and professional aspects of the dual APN role. With implementation of these strategies, graduation and subsequent dual certification rates in these programs remains extremely high.

Conclusion:

Adaptation of these strategies to support student and faculty efforts can potentiate additional opportunities for successful dual APN programs. [
