Specific transfer effects following variable priority dual-task training in older adults
Authors: Lussier Maxime , Bugaiska Aurélia , Bherer Louis 
Published: March 2017

Purpose: Past divided attention training studies in older adults have suggested that variable priority training (VPT) tends to show larger improvement than fixed priority training (FPT). However, it remains unclear whether VPT leads to larger transfer effects. Methods: In this study, eighty-three older adults aged between 55 and 65 received five 1-hour sessions of VPT, FPT or of an active placebo. VPT and FPT subjects trained on a complex dual-task condition with variable stimulus timings in order to promote more flexible and self-guided strategies with regard to attentional priority devoted to the concurrent tasks. Real-time individualized feedback was provided to encourage improvement. The active placebo group attended computer classes. Near and far modality transfer tasks were used to assess the generalization of transfer effects. Results: Results showed that VPT induced significantly larger transfer effects than FPT on a near modality transfer task. Evidence for larger transfer effects in VPT than FPT on a far modality transfer task was also observed. Furthermore, the superiority of VPT on FPT in transfer effects was specific to the ability to coordinate two concurrent tasks. Conclusions: Results of this study help better understand the benefits of VPT attentional training on transfer effects, which is an essential outcome for cognitive training effectiveness and relevancy.
Effects of seed density and proximity to refuge habitat on seed predation rates for a rare and a common Lupinus species
Authors: Pardini Eleanor A. , Patten Melissa V. , Knight Tiffany M. 
Published: March 2017

PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Biotic interactions such as seed predation can play a role in explaining patterns of abundance among plant species. The effect of seed predation will depend on how the strength of predation differs across species and environments, and on the degree to which seed loss at one life‐cycle phase increases fitness at another phase. Few studies have simultaneously quantified predispersal and postdispersal predation in co‐occurring rare and common congeners, despite the value of estimating both for understanding causes of rarity.METHODS:We quantified predispersal seed predation on the rare, herbaceous species Lupinus tidestromii (Fabaceae) and its common, shrubby congener L. chamissonis across multiple years in the same community. We experimentally measured postdispersal seed predation at two seed densities and locations near or far from an exotic grass housing high densities of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus), their primary, native seed predator.KEY RESULTS:The common L. chamissonis had the lowest predispersal seed predation of the two lupine species, potentially because of its height: its high racemes received less predation than those low to the ground. By contrast, the same species experienced higher postdispersal seed predation, and at predators traveled long distances away from refuge habitat to consume their seeds. Across both plant species, mice preferentially predated high‐density seed sources.CONCLUSIONS:Our results show differences in the magnitude and direction of seed predation between the species across different life‐cycle phases. We demonstrated possible roles of proximity to refuge habitat, seed density, and seed size in these patterns. Congeneric comparisons would benefit from a comprehensive framework that considers seed predation across different life‐cycle phases and the environmental context of predation.
Physiological effects of temperature do not explain prevalence of females in populations of gynodioecious Lobelia siphilitica growing in warmer climates
Authors: Bailey Maia F. , Case Andrea L. , Caruso Christina M. 
Published: March 2017

PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Gynodioecy is a sexual polymorphism whereby female and hermaphroditic plants co‐occur within populations. In many gynodioecious species, stressful abiotic environments are associated with higher frequencies of females. This association suggests that abiotic stress affects the relative fitness of females and hermaphrodites and, thus, the maintenance of gynodioecy.METHODS:To test whether abiotic stress affects the fitness of females and hermaphrodites, we grew open‐pollinated Lobelia siphilitica families in temperature regimes characteristic of the southern portion of the species’ range (where females are common) and the northern portion of the range (where females are rare). We measured physiological and phenological traits that are indicative of heat stress, and fitness components of females and hermaphrodites that could affect the maintenance of gynodioecy.KEY RESULTS:Contrary to expectations if growth at high temperatures is stressful, we found that the hot treatment increased leaf chlorophyll content, decreased the percentage of plants that delayed flowering initiation, and did not affect the quantum efficiency of photosystem II. Growth at high temperatures did not affect the magnitude of the difference in rosette size (a correlate of flower number) between females and hermaphrodites, or the variance in pollen viability among hermaphrodites.CONCLUSIONS:We found that growing‐season temperatures typical of high female L. siphilitica populations were not stressful and did not affect either the fitness of females compared to hermaphrodites or variation in fitness among hermaphrodites. Consequently, further research is necessary to explain correlations between abiotic environmental factors and the frequency of females in this and other gynodioecious species.
Silicon microgrooves for contact guidance of human aortic endothelial cells
Authors: Fernández-Castillejo Sara , Formentín Pilar , Catalán Úrsula , Pallarès Josep , Marsal Lluís F , Solà Rosa 
Published: March 2017

Background: Micro- and nanoscale substrates have been fabricated in order to study the influence of the topography on the cellular response. The aim of this work was to prepare different collagen-coated silicon substrates displaying grooves and ridges to mimic the aligned and elongated endothelium found in linear vessels, and to use them as substrates to study cell growth and behaviour.Results: The influence of groove-shaped substrates on cell adhesion, morphology and proliferation were assessed, by comparing them to flat silicon substrates, used as control condition. Using human aortic endothelial cells, microscopy images demonstrate that the cellular response is different depending on the silicon surface, when it comes to cell adhesion, morphology (alignment, circularity and filopodia presence) and proliferation. Moreover, these structures exerted no cytotoxic effect.Conclusion: The results suggest that topographical patterning influences cell response. Silicon groove substrates can be used in developing medical devices with microscale features to mimic the endothelium in lineal vessels.

Authors: Siregar Gontar , Sari Dina , Sungkar Taufik 
Published: March 2017

BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori vacA and cagA genes are associated with higher virulence. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is one important marker for neo-angiogenesis.AIM: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between VEGF serum levels with cagA and vacA genes in H. pylori infection.METHODS: A cross-sectional study was done on eighty patients that consecutive admitted to endoscopy unit. The diagnosis of H. pylori infection was based on rapid urease test. Serum samples were obtained to determine circulating VEGF level. Polymerase chain reaction was done to examine H. pylori vacA and cagA genes. Data analysis were carried-out using SPSS version 22.Â RESULTS: A total of 80 patients were examined. There were 45 (56.3%) patients infected with Helicobacter pylori. There were 33 (73.3%) patients with H. pylori cagA positive. Serum VEGF levels in patients with the H. pylori positive were significantly higher compared to the patients that have no H. pylori. Serum levels of VEGF were significantly higher in cagA positive than negative.CONCLUSION: Serum VEGF level is correlated with H. pylori infection and its virulence status. The more virulence of H. pylori, cagA gene, the higher serum VEGF levels were found.
Les conditions d’émergence et d’accélération des réseaux sociaux numériques d’entreprises : le cas du groupe d’assurances MMA
Authors: Montargot Nathalie , Duyck Jean-Yves 
Published: March 2017

Les réseaux sociaux numériques d’entreprise permettent à des acteurs, le plus souvent dispersés géographiquement, de gagner en performance collaborative (Nonaka, 2007 ; Agterberg et al., 2010). Un réseau de ce type met au défi les hiérarchies existantes et un système de travail fondé sur la spécialisation des activités (Poinsot et al., 2010), en autorisant de nouvelles circulations d’ informations horizontales, transversales, ascendantes ou descendantes (Poncier, 2012). L’objet de ce travail consiste à voir dans quelle mesure ces réseaux contribuent à améliorer la f luidité des échanges et quels sont les éventuels freins limitant les usages collaboratifs. Dans un premier temps, une revue de littérature basée sur la théorie des réseaux et les spécificités des réseaux numériques de pratiques est présentée. Une étude de cas qualitative se concentre ensuite sur la globalité d’une expérimentation, portant sur le travail collaboratif, au sein du groupe d’assurances MMA, entre 2007 et 2014. Les résultats montrent que la structuration de la démarche s’est centrée autour de la viralité et du volontariat, dans une optique expérimentale et exploratoire. Si l’expérience a permis de faire émerger des communautés de travail et le partage de « bonnes pratiques », des résistances ont été constatées en interne. La discussion analytique et prescriptive permet de formuler des recommandations favorisant l’essor et le développement des réseaux sociaux numériques d’entreprise.

Management de la qualité dans l’enseignement du français langue professionnelle : le cas d’une formation des infirmiers en milieu hospitalier.
Authors: Vemulapadu Ajey Balaji 
Published: March 2017

Dans cette ère de mondialisation, la concurrence est ressentie partout et par tous. Afin de devancer la concurrence, les entreprises offrent des prestations « à valeur ajoutée », et, mettre en avant une équipe multilingue figure désormais parmi des prestations à valeur ajoutée. Face à la prolifération exponentielle du tourisme médical, une des nouvelles préoccupations des hôpitaux est de former leur personnel en langues étrangères (LE). Le cahier des charges joue traditionnellement le rôle de référentiel pour toute question sur le déroulement des formations. Force est de constater que ce document référentiel n’est que d’ordre énumératif et qu’il lui manque des éléments d’audit essentiels pour s’assurer de la qualité du service commandé et/ou proposé. Cette note pédagogique s’efforce d’explorer la possibilité d’emprunter les méthodes d’Ishikawa Kaouru et de « Quoi ? Qui ? Où ? Quand ? Comment ? Pourquoi ? » (QQOQQCP) pour repérer et analyser les causes des éléments variables d’une formation afin de sécuriser le processus pour les futures animations.
Efesiërs 1:14 en 1:22, 23 as ’n skriftuurlike maksimum-minimum vir die ekklesiologie
Authors: Van Wyk Barry J. 
Published: March 2017

Ephesians 1:14 and 1:22, 23 as a scriptural maximum-minimum for ecclesiology. Against the background of a membership decline in mainstream churches in South Africa and abroad, and conscious of the theological debate in which a missional ecclesiology is presented as at least part of the modern-day solution to the problem, this article points in the direction of a Christological ecclesiology as an important ecclesiological point of departure. The article gives an exegetical outline of Ephesians 1:14 and 1:22, 23 as a critical maximum-minimum for a Christological ecclesiology and as a means of making missional ecclesiology more acceptable.
The challenge of low employment economic growth in South Africa: 1994 -2008
Authors: Mahadea Darma , Simson Richard 
Published: March 2017

The formal sector in South Africa is unable to provide adequate employment for labour although the economy registered positive economic growth rates over the past 15 years since the demise of apartheid. This is a critical problem, given the current recessionary climate and recent developments in the economies of our trading partners. While government has responded with many initiatives to deal with employment creation, unemployment rates remain high. This problem is examined by reviewing South Africa’s growth performance and links to employment and posits various alternative strategies. The growth elasticity of employment is found to be rather low over the 1994-2008 period, and even over a longer time horizon the marginal growth employment effect is found to be rather weak.
Tax preferences, dividends and lobbying for maximum value
Authors: Badenhorst Wessel M. 
Published: March 2017

Background: The value of equity investments depends to some extent on the tax consequences for investors. When groups of investors have different tax preferences, this can lead to conflicting pressures on firms to either retain earnings or pay dividends. The findings of this study will be of interest to researchers of taxation and corporate governance alike, as they highlight the role that corporate shareholders play in the decisions of the firm. Investors and regulators will also be interested in the findings as they reveal more about the interaction between shareholders with conflicting interests. Lastly, changes in behaviour as a result of changes in tax legislation are of interest to those with fiscal responsibility.Setting: A 2012 dividend tax change in South Africa, which simultaneously altered the tax preferences of individual and corporate investors, provides a unique opportunity to investigate firms’ reaction to their investors’ tax preferences.Aim: This article seeks to determine whether firms respond to changes in their investors’ tax preferences in their decisions to either retain earnings or pay dividends.Method: The article investigates the responses of firms to the 2012 dividend tax change using multivariate regressions.Results: Findings show that firms consider changes in the tax preferences of their investors in setting dividend policies. In addition, it appears that corporates have greater success in lobbying for beneficial dividend changes than individuals.Conclusion: Changes in investors’ tax preferences impact on firms’ dividend policy decisions. These decisions ultimately affect the value of the firm to its investors
