CFTR targeting during activation of human neutrophils
Authors: Ng Hang Pong , Valentine Vincent G , Wang Guoshun 
Published: July 2016

AbstractCystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a cAMP-activated chloride channel, plays critical roles in phagocytic host defense. However, how activated neutrophils regulate CFTR channel distribution subcellularly is not well defined. To investigate, we tested multiple Abs against different CFTR domains, to examine CFTR expression in human peripheral blood neutrophils by flow cytometry. The data confirmed that resting neutrophils had pronounced CFTR expression. Activation of neutrophils with soluble or particulate agonists did not significantly increase CFTR expression level, but induced CFTR redistribution to cell surface. Such CFTR mobilization correlated with cell-surface recruitment of formyl-peptide receptor during secretory vesicle exocytosis. Intriguingly, neutrophils from patients with ΔF508-CF, despite expression of the mutant CFTR, showed little cell-surface mobilization upon stimulation. Although normal neutrophils effectively targeted CFTR to their phagosomes, ΔF508-CF neutrophils had impairment in that process, resulting in deficient hypochlorous acid production. Taken together, activated neutrophils regulate CFTR distribution by targeting this chloride channel to the subcellular sites of activation, and ΔF508-CF neutrophils fail to achieve such targeting, thus undermining their host defense function.
Wearables: Tech/Fashion; Masculine/Feminine
Authors: Schroeder Jeanne L. 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Wearable technology is supposedly the next big thing. Nevertheless, half of Americans who purchase wearable devices abandon them within six months. I make two observations. First, the technology industry has a woman problem: it is so overwhelmingly male as to suggest institutional misogyny. Second, it has a fashion problem: tech leaders present an image not merely of non-fashion, but anti-fashion. I suggest these two are closely linked to its failure to convince the general public that it wants to wear technology.
Fashion is often disparaged as frivolous, largely because it is (correctly) identified as feminine. However, speculative theory argues that the function of fashion is not merely to express, but to help create personality. It is part of what makes us human.
Relying on Hegelian philosophy, this article explores the parallel roles of law and fashion in creating subjectivity. It then turns to Lacan’s theory of sexuation to suggest one reason for wearable technology’s mixed showing to date. Because the Lacanian subject is always sexuated, wearable technology will not succeed as a consumer product until it is designed from the feminine position – not as technology that can be worn, but as fashion that contains technology.
A typology of fashion violence
Authors: Von Busch Otto , Bjereld Ylva 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
In the study of fashion there is a temptation to privilege the experience of seduction, glamour and empowerment of individuals, or the representation of cultural values through dress. But fashion also has a propensity for narcissism (self-satisfaction) and the potential for this self-satisfaction to be achieved through the harassment and degradation of others. In this article, fashion is examined as an everyday site for establishing social distinctions, where violence in the form of microaggressions and bullying is masked by the apparent superficially and innocuousness of clothing.
The aim is to demonstrate how fashion is implicated in the three levels of everyday violence identified by Galtung (1990) in his typography of violence. The article takes examples from the cultural realm of fashion and a set of interviews with young people who experienced bullying because of their clothes. The examples are applied to Galtung’s model to produce a typology of fashion violence.

Pricing of Guaranteed Annuity Options in a Stochastic Volatility and Interest Rate Environment
Authors: Kizaki Keisuke , Muroi Yoshifumi 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
This article examines the pricing of guaranteed annuity options (GAOs) in a stochastic volatility and interest rate model. While the pricing of these options in a stochastic volatility and interest rate model has been examined in van Haastrecht, Plat, and Pelsser (2010. Insurance: Mathematics and Economics 47:266–77), the pricing is difficult under the general stochastic volatility environment. In order to overcome these difficulties, we examined the asymptotic expansion method introduced by Kim and Kunitomo (1999. Asia-Pacific Financial Markets 6:49–70) and extended by Kim (2002. Journal of the Operations Research Society of Japan 45:404–25), and Kunitomo and Kim (2007. Japanese Economic Review 58:71–106). The asymptotic expansion method obtains a closed-form approximation formula for the price of GAOs in a general stochastic volatility environment including the Schöbel–Zhu–Hull–White model and the Heston–Hull–White model, for example. We confirm the accuracy of the asymptotic expansion methods by numerical demonstrations. The sensitivity analysis of the options price to changes in the parameters for the stochastic volatility process is also analyzed.
Schützt strategisches Handeln vor den negativen Folgen von Stress? Zur Bedeutung mikropolitischer Fähigkeiten als Gesundheitsressource in entgrenzten Arbeitskontexten / Does strategic acting prevent the negative effects of stress? On the importance of political skills as a health resource in working contexts with blurring boundaries

Published: July 2016

Zusammenfassung
Parallel zu Prozessen der Subjektivierung und Entgrenzung nehmen Stress und psychische Beschwerden ständig zu; die Betriebe tun bisher wenig, um hier organisationskulturell gegenzusteuern. Vor diesem Hintergrund gehen wir auf der Basis von 60 qualitativen Interviews mit Nachwuchsführungskräften empirisch der Frage nach, welche Bedeutung mikropolitischem Handeln im Sinne einer subjektiven Bewältigungsstrategie als Gesundheitsressource zukommen kann. Die Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass mikropolitische Fähigkeiten tatsächlich eine Ressource zur Stressreduktion darstellen, die im Hinblick auf ihr gesundheitsförderliches Potenzial näher untersucht werden sollte.
Rollenbild oder soziale Positionierung? Wovon die Einstellung gegenüber der betrieblichen Frauenquote abhängt / Gender role model or social position? On the determinants of the attitude towards a women's quota in companies
Authors: Petzold Knut , Brunner Thomas , Watzka Carlos 
Published: July 2016

Zusammenfassung
Es wird der Frage nachgegangen, von welchen Determinanten die Einstellung gegenuber der betrieblichen Frauenquote in der deutschen Bevolkerung abhangt. Mit der Habitustheorie von Bourdieu werden Hypothesen entwickelt und mit Daten einer Querschnittsbefragung (N = 886) getestet. Das Geschlecht, das Alter, eine politisch progressive Orientierung und eine Interaktion zwischen Geschlecht und Bildung fordern die Zustimmung zur betrieblichen Frauenquote, das Rollenbild jedoch nicht.
Schlecht entlohnt trotz Hochschulabschluss? / Low wages in spite of an academic degree?
Authors: Kalina Thorsten 
Published: July 2016

Zusammenfassung
Der Anteil der Akademiker/innen an den abhängig Beschäftigten in Deutschland ist seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre um 7 Prozentpunkte auf über 25 Prozent im Jahr 2014 gestiegen. Eine Hochschulausbildung bringt allerdings nicht immer eine gute Beschäftigungsperspektive mit sich. Rund jeder zehnte der 8,4 Millionen abhängig beschäftigten Akademiker/innen war 2014 unterhalb der Niedriglohnschwelle von 9,81 Euro tätig. Der folgende Beitrag untersucht auf Basis des Sozioökonomischen Panels Ursachen der Niedriglohnbeschäftigung von Akademiker/ innen. Zentrale Frage ist, ob sich ein erhöhtes Niedriglohnrisiko von Akademiker/ innen durch unterwertige Beschäftigung erklären lässt. Als überraschendes Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass fast ein Drittel der Akademiker/innen mit Niedriglohn bildungsadäquat beschäftigt ist. Eine Beschäftigung unterhalb des akademischen Niveaus erhöht das Niedriglohnrisiko weitaus geringer als erwartet.
Leiharbeit im Profifußball – Sind ausgeliehene Bundesligaspieler stärker motiviert? / Labour Leasing in Professional Football – Are Temporary Players More Ambitious?
Authors: Müller Michael 
Published: July 2016

Zusammenfassung
Bisherige Studien zur Leiharbeit haben sich primär mit den Arbeitsbedingungen sowie den strategischen Einsatzgründen der Leiharbeit befasst. In diesem Beitrag wird versucht, erste Erkenntnisse zum Leistungsverhalten von verliehenen Arbeitnehmern zu erhalten. Der Arbeitsmarkt für Profifußballer bietet sich für dieses Forschungsvorhaben besonders an, da die Leistungen der Spieler beobachtbar sind. Dieser beispielhafte Markt weist gewisse Analogien zu konventionellen Arbeitsmärkten auf. So schafft die durch eine Entleihung entstehende Unsicherheitssituation Anreize für entliehene Spieler, ihr Leistungsniveau in den Entleihperioden zu erhöhen. Es zeigt sich empirisch, dass Leihspieler in Leihspielzeiten ein höheres Anstrengungsniveau aufweisen und dieses anschließend in langfristigeren Beschäftigungsverhältnissen nicht halten können. Neben der Leistungsentwicklung von Leiharbeitnehmern werden ebenfalls Einflussfaktoren auf das Verleihverhalten von Bundesligavereinen analysiert. Dabei zeigt sich, dass insbesondere Änderungen der institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen Einfluss auf die Verleihentscheidungen haben.
Non-equilibrium temperatures and heat transport in nanosystems with defects, described by a tensorial internal variable
Authors: Restuccia Liliana 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
The paper deals with the meaning of non-equilibrium temperatures in nanosystems with an internal variable, describing defects inside them, and implications on heat transport. In equilibrium all definitions of temperature lead to the same value, but in nonequilibrium steady states they lead to different values, giving information on different degrees of freedom. We discuss the caloric and entropic non-equilibrium temperatures and the relations among them, in defective nanosystems (crystals with dislocations or porous channels, carbon nanotubes in a solid matrix and so on), crossed by an external energy flux. Here, we present a model for nanocrystals with dislocation defects submitted to an external energy flux. The dislocations may have a strong influence on the effective thermal conductivity, and their own dynamics may be coupled in relevant way to the heat flux dynamics. In the linear case the constitutive relations, the rate equations for the internal variable and the heat flux are worked out and a generalized telegraphic heat equation is derived in the anisotropic and isotropic case, describing the thermal disturbances with finite velocity.
Optimization of supercooling effect in nanoscaled thermoelectric layers
Authors: Rivera Iván , Figueroa Aldo , Vázquez Federico 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
In this paper we address the problem of optimization of the so called supercooling effect in thermoelectric nanoscaled layers. The effect arises when a short term electric pulse is applied to the layer. The analysis is based on constitutive equations of the Maxwell-Cattaneo type describing the time evolution of dissipative flows with the thermal and electric conductivities depending on the width of the layer. This introduces memory and nonlocal effects and consequently a wave-like behaviour of system’s temperature. We study the effects of the shape of the electric pulse on the maximum diminishing of temperature by applying pulses of the form ta
with a a power going from 0 to 10. Pulses with a a fractionary number perform better for nanoscaled devices whereas those with a bigger than unity do it for microscaled ones. We also find that the supercooling effect is improved by a factor of 6.6 over long length scale devices in the best performances and that the elapsed supercooling time for the nanoscaled devices equals the best of the microscaled ones. We use the spectral methods of solution which assure a well representation of wave behaviour of heat and electric charge in short time scales given their spectral convergence.

Abstract
In this paper we extend previous results on the effective thermal conductivity of liquid helium II in cylindrical channels to rectangular channels with high aspect ratio. The aim is to compare the results in the laminar regime, the turbulent regime and the ballistic regime, all of them obtained within a single mesoscopic formalism of heat transport, with heat flux as an independent variable.
A New Control Method to Mitigate Power Fluctuations for Grid Integrated PV/Wind Hybrid Power System Using Ultracapacitors
Authors: Jayalakshmi N. S. , Gaonkar D. N. 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
The output power obtained from solar-wind hybrid system fluctuates with changes in weather conditions. These power fluctuations cause adverse effects on the voltage, frequency and transient stability of the utility grid. In this paper, a control method is presented for power smoothing of grid integrated PV/wind hybrid system using ultracapacitors in a DC coupled structure. The power fluctuations of hybrid system are mitigated and smoothed power is supplied to the utility grid. In this work both photovoltaic (PV) panels and the wind generator are controlled to operate at their maximum power point. The grid side inverter control strategy presented in this paper maintains DC link voltage constant while injecting power to the grid at unity power factor considering different operating conditions. Actual solar irradiation and wind speed data are used in this study to evaluate the performance of the developed system using MATLAB/Simulink software. The simulation results show that output power fluctuations of solar-wind hybrid system can be significantly mitigated using the ultracapacitor based storage system.
Legal Commercial Cannabis Sales in Colorado and Washington: What Can We Learn?
Authors: Kleiman Mark A.R. 
Published: July 2016

AbstractColorado and Washington were the first states to legalize the production and sale of cannabis without a medical recommendation; Oregon and Alaska have followed suit, and additional states will likely do so in coming years. The effects of legalization are multi-dimensional, hard to predict, difficult to measure, and dependent on policy details. The primary gains from legal availability (beyond personal liberty and enjoyment) are likely to take the form of reduced illicit activity and reduced need for enforcement, along with relatively modest revenues. The primary losses will likely involve increased problematic drug use, which may include use by minors. The extent of those gains and losses is likely sensitive to price; very high prices (substantially above prices in the illicit markets) will likely frustrate the aim of shrinking illegal production and dealing; very low prices – which are technically possible, given how inexpensive it is to produce cannabis under legal conditions – risk accentuating the increase in problematic use and generating illegal diversion of legally sold product for out-of-state sale and sale to minors. Because the systems of supply for medically recommended use in Colorado and Washington were sufficiently loose to make cannabis easily available to virtually any adult; because regulatory restrictions on commercial supplies have so far kept the commercial prices above illicit and medical-dispensary levels; and because those prices have now begun to fall and are likely to fall rapidly, the results in Colorado and Washington so far cannot be used to evaluate the effects of legalization, especially in states without readily-available quasi-medical supplies. Patience is required.

Published: July 2016

Abstract
Despite the recent synthesis and identification of a diverse set of new nanophotocatalysts that has exploded recently, titanium dioxide (TiO2) remains among the most promising photocatalysts because it is inexpensive, non-corrosive, environmentally friendly, and stable under a wide range of conditions. TiO2 has shown excellent promise for solar cell applications and for remediation of chemical pollutants and toxins. Over the past few decades, there has been a tremendous development of nanophotocatalysts for a variety of industrial applications (i.e. for water purification and reuse, disinfection of water matrices, air purification, deodorization, sterilization of soils). This paper details traditional and new industrial routes for the preparation of nanophotocatalysts and the characterization techniques used to understand the physical chemical properties of them, like surface area, ζ potential, crystal size, and phase crystallographic, morphology, and optical transparency. Finally we present some applications of the industrial nanophotocatalysts.
Neugründungen von Genossenschaften in Deutschland nach der Reform des Genossenschaftsgesetzes
Authors: Stappel Michael 
Published: July 2016

Zusammenfassung
Die Genossenschaftsrechtsreform von 2006 und die Neugründungsinitiativen der Verbände können als Erfolg gewertet werden. Das zeigen nicht nur die stark angestiegenen Genossenschaftsgründungen, sondern auch neu entwickelte Genossenschaftsmodelle, die teilweise bereits vielfach nachgeahmt wurden. Trotzdem besteht noch reichlich ungenutztes Genossenschaftspotenzial. Handlungsbedarf besteht bei der systematischen Entwicklung und Vermarktung neuer Genossenschaftsmodelle.

(RE=Y, Nd, Sm, Gd-Lu) were synthesized from the elements by arc-melting and subsequent annealing. The new compounds crystallize with the orthorhombic YRh4Ge2 type structure, space group Pnma. They were characterized by X-ray powder patterns and several structures were refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data. The main structural motifs of this series of silicides are tricapped trigonal prisms formed by the transition metal and rare earth atoms. One of the two crystallographically independent silicon sites allows for formation of solid solutions with tin, exemplarily studied for ErRh4Si2–x

Multinuclear (29Si, 45Sc, and 89Y) magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectra of the structure representatives with diamagnetic rare-earth elements (Sc, Y, Lu) are found to be consistent with the crystallographic data and specifically confirm the selective substitution of Sn in the Si2 sites in the quaternary compounds YRh4SiSn and LuRh4SiSn.
Endocrine tumors associated with the vagus nerve
Authors: Varoquaux Arthur , Kebebew Electron , Sebag Fréderic , Wolf Katherine , Henry Jean-François , Pacak Karel , Taïeb David 
Published: July 2016

The vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) is the main nerve of the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. Vagal paragangliomas (VPGLs) are a prime example of an endocrine tumor associated with the vagus nerve. This rare, neural crest tumor constitutes the second most common site of hereditary head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGLs), most often in relation to mutations in the succinate dehydrogenase complex	subunit D (SDHD) gene. The treatment paradigm for VPGL has progressively shifted from surgery to abstention or therapeutic radiation with curative-like outcomes. Parathyroid tissue and parathyroid adenoma can also be found in close association with the vagus nerve in intra or paravagal situations. Vagal parathyroid adenoma can be identified with preoperative imaging or suspected intraoperatively by experienced surgeons. Vagal parathyroid adenomas located in the neck or superior mediastinum can be removed via initial cervicotomy, while those located in the aortopulmonary window require a thoracic approach. This review particularly emphasizes the embryology, molecular genetics, and modern imaging of these tumors.
