Published: May 2017

AbstractPhysicians and patients may choose a certain treatment only if it is predicted to have a large effect for the profile of that patient. We consider randomized controlled trials in which the clinical goal is to identify as many patients as possible that can highly benefit from the treatment. This is challenging with large numbers of covariate profiles, first, because the theoretical, exact method is not feasible, and, second, because usual model-based methods typically give incorrect results. Better, more recent methods use a two-stage approach, where a first stage estimates a working model to produce a scalar predictor of the treatment effect for each covariate profile; and a second stage estimates empirically a high-benefit group based on the first-stage predictor. The problem with these methods is that each of the two stages is usually agnostic about the role of the other one in addressing the clinical goal. We propose a method that characterizes highly benefited patients by linking model estimation directly to the particular clinical goal. It is shown that the new method has the following two key properties in comparison with existing approaches: first, the meaning of the solution with regard to the clinical goal is the same, and second, the value of the solution is the best that can be achieved when using the working model as a predictor, even if that model is incorrect. In the Citalopram for Agitation in Alzheimer’s Disease (CitAD) randomized controlled trial, the new method identifies substantially larger groups of highly benefited patients, many of whom are missed by the standard method.

Strategies to harness Bengaluru’s solar potential
Authors: Thanikonda Ashok , Krishnan Deepak 
Published: May 2017

Solar energy is a key component of cities’ climate mitigation and energy security plans, due to its ease of installation & operation and drastic decline in costs.In Bengaluru, residential, commercial and industrial (C & I) consumers contributed to around 85% of the electricity consumption and resultant emissions during 2014 and 2015. What are the options for these consumers within the ambit of current policies to procure solar power? Are changes required in these policies to scale up the adoption of solar power?WRI India has explored two possible options – off-site and on-site procurement of solar energy.On-site procurementIn 2013, net-metering which allows export of excess power to the grid was not available in Bengaluru. This, in addition to expensive electricity storage options meant that the complete potential of an on-site solar plant could not be realized.WRII has found that net-metering regulations for rooftop solar projects in Karnataka, introduced in November 2014, were met with moderate success among C & I consumers. The adoption among residential consumers was slow due to information gaps about financial parameters, net-metering procedures and credible installers.On May 2, 2016 gross metering scheme is introduced for both categories of consumers. WRII intends to look into the effectiveness of the new scheme.Off-site solar procurementGrid-connected solar power projects in Karnataka, commissioned before 31 March 2018, were exempted from payment of wheeling, banking charges and cross subsidy surcharge for the first 10 years for sale to 3rd party customers.Since the typical payback period for a utility scale solar project is around 7 years, this order provided long term clarity for investors, solar project developers and consumers. For certain categories of consumers (commercial), the exemption meant that solar energy became more viable. However, challenges in procuring land and bottlenecks in power evacuation, may delay the large scale deployment of solar projects to the latter half of 2016.

Abstract
Natural radioactivity and radon concentration were studied in drinking water samples from Baling area, Kedah, Malaysia, using HPGe and RAD-7 detectors, respectively. Average concentrations obtained for 226Ra, 232Th, 40K and 222Rn were 44.2 ± 3.9, 38.1 ± 5.0, 140.9 ± 10.6 mBq l−1 and 5.7 ± 0.68 Bq l−1, respectively. Cumulative annual effective doses due to ingestion of 226Ra, 232Th, 40K and 222Rn for infants, children and adults were estimated to be 13.77, 2.857 and 2.581 μSv y−1, respectively. Average annual effective doses due to inhalation of radon released in the air during consumption and ingestion of drinking water were separately estimated to be 15.2 and 1.2 μSv y−1, respectively. A positive correlation (R2 = 0.87) was observed between 222Rn and 226Ra determined by RAD-7 and HPGe detectors, respectively. In this study, the estimated annual effective doses due to ingestion of 226Ra, 232Th, 40K and 222Rn for infants, children and adults were found to be below the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended limits of 0.1 mSv y−1.

Authors: Santoso Meilanny Budiarti , Apsari Nurliana Cipta 
Published: May 2017

Pergeseran paradigma dalam memaknai disabilitas perlu terus digulirkan seiring dengan semangat reformasi dan demokratisasi yang bertumpu pada penguatan sendi-sendi dasar hak asasi manusia. Penulisan artikel ini menggunakan studi literatur dan dokumen. Paradigma dalam menangani ataupun memberikan pelayanan bagi penyandang disabilitas mengalami pergeseran, dimulai dengan Traditional Model, yang bersifat kesukarelaan atau charity, kemudian berubah menjadi Individual Model â€“ Medical Model, dengan titik berat bantuan yang diberikan berupa rehabilitasi kepada orang-orang dengan disabilitas. Model kedua ini dirasa tidak cukup menghilangkan hambatan yang dialami oleh orang dengan disabilitas, sehingga para profesional mengembangkan paradigma ketiga, yaitu Social Model, dengan fokus pelayanan lebih ditujukan pada terjadinya perubahan sosial â€“ perubahan masyarakat. Hingga saat ini, yang digunakan dalam memberikan pelayanan kepada orang dengan disabilitas adalah model Inclusion Model, yaitu inclusive development â€“ inclusive society. Pendekatan inklusif digunakan dengan maksud untuk menghadirkan orang-orang dengan disabilitas dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat, sehingga dirasakan lebih mengakomodir hak asasi manusia orang dengan disabilitas.

Published: May 2017

Bluetooth is a short distance unlicensed wireless communication technology operating at 2.4 GHz band and primarily used for data transfer between portable devices. In this paper, small size microstrip patch antennas, loaded by symmetric and asymmetric T-shaped slots are designed and a comparative study of their performance at Bluetooth frequency band is presented. High frequency structure simulator (HFSS) software is used for antenna simulation. Improved bandwidth, uniform radiation pattern and good gain of the antenna are achieved using asymmetric T-slot microstrip antenna compared to symmetric T-slot microstrip antenna. The dimension of asymmetric T-slot microstrip antenna is 75% less than the symmetric T-slot microstrip antenna. Performance of the antennas, through parametric studies, related to the dimensions of the symmetric and asymmetric T-slots, is also presented.Â Â

Building an Information System is essential for achieving the goal of implementing Electronic Government (E-Government). Â Outsourcing has become the strategy for Taiwan government in terms of building the Information Systems. Â Sixty percent of the Information Technology (IT) budget for Taiwan government was spent on maintaining and operating the information systems built by the contracting companies in 2014. Â The ability of IT personnel and IT budget allocation for a government agency may have an impact on the operation of the information system. Â However, there is limited literature about it. Â This exploratory research used in-person observation and In-depth interviews to study an information system inside X agency of Taiwan government. Â This study found that since the IT personnel in this agency did not involve in the development of the system, even though the IT personnel in this agency had sufficient technical skills, the lack of knowledge of technical details of the system weakened their ability to operate and maintain the system. Â This study also found the limited budget made operation cost a priority over system upgrades. Â The insufficiency of technical knowledge of system not only impair the normal operation of system, it also made adequate budgeting for IT department difficult. Â This study provides practical solution and recommendation for future researches.

Published: May 2017

Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita, commonly referred to as AMC, is a disorder recognised by multiple contractures of the joints. The symptoms associated with the disorder span across various levels of severity. Regardless of the physical problems, however, intelligence remains undisturbed.The aim of this paper is centred on investigating the social coping experiences of a child living with this condition, adopting a qualitative approach to the research. A case study design was adopted for the research, with the theoretical framework applied known as Phenomenology. One sample was used for the data collection, notably a child diagnosed with Arthrogryposis, with her coping experiences shared by her parents. When examining the data, thematic analysis was applied. This study has significance in the fact it seeks to develop an understanding of children living with this condition, as well as for the disabled child population as a whole. The key issues seen to arise from this study include the role of social relationships, the role of the parent in socialisation, and the perceptions of others concerning AMC.

The effects ofÂ methanolic leaf extracts of Vernonia amygdalina (VA) (Bitter leaf) and Gongronema latifolium (GL) (Utazi) and metformin on the histology and the DNA of the pancreas of streptozocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats were investigated in this study. 24 male albino rats which were divided into four groups of six rats each were used for this work: A (Normal control) and B (Diabetic control) received tap water, C received 5mg/kg of Metformin daily, D received combined extract of VA and GL, 400mg/kg twice daily. Groups B â€“ D animals were induced for diabetes by intraperitoneal injection of 45mg/kg of Streptozocin, Following sacrifice, the pancreas and blood were collected for histopathological and biochemical studies. The results revealed normal exocrine and endocrine pancreas in group A. In group B, the pancreatic islets cells were shrunken with signs of degeneration and inflammation. In the group that received metformin, the islet appeared shrunken. In group D, the pancreas showed prominent and normal acinar and islet cells, suggestive of a possible regeneration. Feulgenâ€™s reaction showed damage to the DNA of group B which was almost completely reversed in group D. The blood glucose in group B was significantly higher (P<0.05) compared to group A. In all the treatment groups, the blood glucose was significantly reduced (p<0.05) compared to group B.Â Administration of methanolic leaf extracts of Vernonia amygdalina and Gongronema latifolium especially in combination restores pancreatic beta cells damaged by STZ compared to metformin.Â
La institucionalización de la evaluación educativa no universitaria en España
Authors: García Sánchez Ester 
Published: May 2017

Este artículo analiza el proceso de institucionalización de la evaluación en el campo de la educación no universitaria española. Nos centramos en las dos tendencias principales del proceso. El primero está relacionado con el desarrollo de la práctica evaluativa. Este desarrollo comenzó a principios de los años ochenta, cuando se llevaron a cabo algunas evaluaciones de programas en el contexto de la reforma del sistema educativo. El segundo tiene que ver con la independencia cada vez mayor de la evaluación de la investigación educativa más general, es decir, con el surgimiento de la evaluación como un campo de trabajo especializado y específico. Concluimos con algunas consideraciones críticas sobre las fortalezas y debilidades del proceso de institucionalización y los problemas que se deben enfrentar en el próximo futuro
Regulación y calidad de los servicios públicos liberalizados
Authors: Costas Antón 
Published: May 2017

Las industrias de servicios en general, incluyendo la banca y los servicios financieros, seguros, servicios profesionales, pensiones, sanidad y servicios públicos domiciliarios, han estado sometidas en los últimos años a un generalizado proceso de liberalización. Este proceso ha sido especialmente intenso en el caso de las industrias de servicios públicos de red (public utilities): telecomunicaciones, electricidad, gas, agua, transporte y servicios postales. En esencia, la liberalización ha buscado introducir mayor eficiencia en la prestación de estos servicios a través del aumento de la competencia entre proveedores, en un proceso que ha ido acompañado en muchos países de la privatización de los antiguos monopolios públicos y que, implícitamente, prometía un cambio en la estructura de oferta, un incremento de la competencia entre proveedores, el fomento de la eficiencia de los operadores, una reducción generalizada de los precios y el desarrollo de la calidad de los servicios de las empresas.

De prince des poètes à prince des ondes radiophoniques : étude de la trajectoire de Robert Choquette à la lumière d’une poétique historique des supports
Authors: Bernier Stéphanie 
Published: May 2017

Salué par la critique et récompensé pour son oeuvre, Robert Choquette est l’un des poètes canadiens-français les plus reconnus de sa génération. Parallèlement à sa production poétique, l’écrivain fait figure de pionnier dans l’écriture radiophonique. Existe-t-il un fil conducteur entre ces deux moments de la trajectoire de l’écrivain, entre la littérature « traditionnelle » et celle d’une modernité médiatique? Comment s’articule chez Robert Choquette le passage du médium livre à celui de la radio? Le noeud de ce basculement se trouve à notre avis dans la décennie 1930. À ce moment, Choquette fait non seulement ses premiers pas à la radio, mais il occupe également le poste de directeur littéraire de La Revue moderne. Son travail à la revue constitue d’après nous un moment décisif dans le déploiement d’une oeuvre « intermédiatique », révélant l’étonnante polyvalence d’une production capable de s’adapter à différents supports. Dans cet article, nous proposons d’étudier l’influence de ces trois médiums (livre-revue-radio) sur la production des années 1930 de Robert Choquette, à la lumière d’une poétique historique des supports, telle que théorisée par Marie-Ève Thérenty.
