Forest and game: an evergreen of wildlife management (essay)
The federal and cantonal laws on wildlife and forest, dating back 140 years, have made it possible for the massively weakened large fauna and the degraded forest to recover. Instead of two species of large fauna in the Graubünden, there are now twelve, and forest area has increased by 60%. However, this positive outcome should not obscure the fact that there are still many challenges to be resolved in wildlife management in our cultural landscape. These challenges include managing the considerable seasonal differences in the biotope capacity of wildlife habitats, determining the ecological role of ungulates in our cultural ecosystem as a whole, the increasing disturbance from leisure activities, and the need to take account of the influence of large predators in planning hunting. Conflicts between forest and game can only be resolved in a broader context.

Abstract
We present the first determination of the galaxy luminosity function (LF) at z ∼ 4, 5, 6, and 7, in the rest-frame optical at

(z′ band). The rest-frame optical light traces the content in low-mass evolved stars (∼stellar mass—M
*), minimizing potential measurement biases for M
*. Moreover, it is less affected by nebular line emission contamination and dust attenuation, is independent of stellar population models, and can be probed up to z ∼ 8 through Spitzer/IRAC. Our analysis leverages the unique full-depth Spitzer/IRAC 3.6–8.0 μm data over the CANDELS/GOODS-N, CANDELS/GOODS-S, and COSMOS/UltraVISTA fields. We find that, at absolute magnitudes where

,

presents a turnover, suggesting that the stellar mass-to-light ratio

could be characterized by a very broad range of values at high stellar masses. Median-stacking analyses recover an

roughly independent on

for

mag, but exponentially increasing at brighter magnitudes. We find that the evolution of the LF marginally prefers a pure luminosity evolution over a pure density evolution, with the characteristic luminosity decreasing by a factor of

between z ∼ 4 and z ∼ 7. Direct application of the recovered

generates stellar mass functions consistent with average measurements from the literature. Measurements of the stellar-to-halo mass ratio at fixed cumulative number density show that it is roughly constant with redshift for

can be accounted for by a rigid displacement in luminosity, corresponding to the evolution of the halo mass from abundance matching.
Relation between the Variations in the Mg ii λ2798 Emission Line and 3000 Å Continuum
Authors: Zhu Dongchun , Sun Mouyuan , Wang Tinggui 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
We investigate the relationship between the

emission line and the 3000 Å continuum variations using a sample of 68 intermediate-redshift (

) broad-line quasars spanning a bolometric luminosity range of 44.49 erg

erg s−1 (Eddington ratio from ∼0.026 to 0.862). This sample is constructed from SDSS-DR7Q and BOSS-DR12Q, each with at least two spectroscopic epochs in SDSS-I/II/III surveys. In addition, we adopt the following signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) selection criteria: (a) for

and the 3000 Å continuum, S/N

10; and (b) for narrow lines, S/N

5. All our quasar spectra are recalibrated based on the assumption of constant narrow emission-line fluxes. In an analysis of spectrum-to-spectrum variations, we find a fairly close correlation (Spearman

) between the variations in broad

and in the continuum. This is consistent with the idea that

is varying in response to the continuum emission variations. Adopting the modified weighted least squares regression method, we statistically constrain the slopes (i.e., the responsivity α of the broad

) between the variations in both components for the sources in different luminosity bins after eliminating intrinsic biases introduced by the rescaling process itself. It is shown that the responsivity is quite small (average

) and anti-correlates with the quasar luminosity. Our results indicate that high signal-to-noise flux measurements are required to robustly detect the intrinsic variability and the time lag of the

line.

Abstract
We present the results of a Chandra X-ray survey of the eight most massive galaxy clusters at z > 1.2 in the South Pole Telescope 2500 deg2 survey. We combine this sample with previously published Chandra observations of 49 massive X-ray-selected clusters at 0 < z < 0.1 and 90 Sunyaev–Zel’dovich–selected clusters at 0.25 < z < 1.2 to constrain the evolution of the intracluster medium (ICM) over the past ∼10 Gyr. We find that the bulk of the ICM has evolved self-similarly over the full redshift range probed here, with the ICM density at

scaling like

), we find significant deviations from self-similarity (

), consistent with no redshift dependence. When we isolate clusters with overdense cores (i.e., cool cores), we find that the average overdensity profile has not evolved with redshift—that is, cool cores have not changed in size, density, or total mass over the past ∼9–10 Gyr. We show that the evolving “cuspiness” of clusters in the X-ray, reported by several previous studies, can be understood in the context of a cool core with fixed properties embedded in a self-similarly evolving cluster. We find no measurable evolution in the X-ray morphology of massive clusters, seemingly in tension with the rapidly rising (with redshift) rate of major mergers predicted by cosmological simulations. We show that these two results can be brought into agreement if we assume that the relaxation time after a merger is proportional to the crossing time, since the latter is proportional to

Domain Modeling and Application Development of an Archetype- and XML-based EHRS
Authors: Kropf Stefan , Chalopin Claire , Lindner Dirk , Denecke Kerstin 
Published: June 2017

SummaryBackground: Access to patient data within the hospital or between hospitals is still problematic since a variety of information systems is in use applying different vendor specific terminologies and underlying knowledge models. Beyond, the development of electronic health record systems (EHRSs) is time and resource consuming. Thus, there is a substantial need for a development strategy of standardized EHRSs. We are applying a reuse-oriented process model and demonstrate its feasibility and realization on a practical medical use case, which is an EHRS holding all relevant data arising in the context of treatment of tumors of the sella region. In this paper, we describe the development process and our practical experiences.Methods: Requirements towards the development of the EHRS were collected by interviews with a neurosurgeon and patient data analysis. For modelling of patient data, we selected openEHR as standard and exploited the software tools provided by the openEHR foundation. The patient information model forms the core of the development process, which comprises the EHR generation and the implementation of an EHRS architecture. Moreover, a reuse-oriented process model from the business domain was adapted to the development of the EHRS.Results: The reuse-oriented process model is a model for a suitable abstraction of both, modeling and development of an EHR centralized EHRS. The information modeling process resulted in 18 archetypes that were aggregated in a template and built the boilerplate of the model driven development. The EHRs and the EHRS were developed by openEHR and W3C standards, tightly supported by well-established XML techniques. The GUI of the final EHRS integrates and visualizes information from various examinations, medical reports, findings and laboratory test results.Conclusion: We conclude that the development of a standardized overarching EHR and an EHRS is feasible using openEHR and W3C standards, enabling a high degree of semantic interoperability. The standardized representation visualizes data and can in this way support the decision process of clinicians.Citation: Kropf S, Chalopin C, Lindner D, Denecke K.

Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Decisions: Joint Guidance
Authors: Campbell R 
Published: June 2017

Since its introduction in the 1960s as a treatment to restart the heart after sudden cardiac arrest from a heart attack, attempts at cardiopulmonary resuscitation have become more common in other clinical situations. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation can be a lifesaving treatment, with the likelihood of recovery varying greatly depending on individual circumstances; however, overall, the proportion of people who survive following cardiopulmonary resuscitation is relatively low. Anticipatory decisions were recognised as being the best way of ensuring that cardiopulmonary resuscitation was not attempted against individuals’ wishes. Since 2001, the British Medical Association, Resuscitation Council (UK) and Royal College of Nursing have published professional guidance on decisions relating to cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The latest version of this guidance was published in June 2016. This paper summarises the key legal and ethical principles that should inform all cardiopulmonary resuscitation decisions, with particular emphasis on the recent changes in law and policy.
Stress-Strain Relationship and Seismic Performance of Cast-in-Situ Phosphogypsum

Published: June 2017

Background Phosphogypsum is a waste by-product during the production of phosphoric acid. It not only occupies landfill, but also pollutes the environment, which becomes an important factor restricting the sustainable development of the phosphate fertilizer industry. Research into cast-in-situ phosphogypsum will greatly promote the comprehensive utilization of stored phosphogypsum. The aim of this study was to clarify the mechanical properties of phosphogypsum. Methods Stress-strain relationships of cast-in-situ phosphogypsum were investigated through axial compressive experiments, and seismic performance of cast-in-situ phosphogypsum walls and aerated-concrete masonry walls were simulated based on the experimental results and using finite element analysis. Results The results showed that the stress-strain relationship fitted into a polynomial equation. Moreover, the displacement ductility index and the energy dissipation index of cast-in-situ phosphogypsum wall were 6.587 and 3.425, respectively. Conclusions The stress-strain relationship for earthquake-resistant performance of cast-in-situ phosphogypsum walls is better than that of aerated-concrete masonry walls. The curve of stress-strain relationship and the evaluation of earthquake-resistant performance provide theoretical support for the application of cast-in-situ phosphogypsum in building walls.

Published: June 2017

Background:
Positive psychology uses targeted activities to increase the frequency and intensity of positive emotional experiences. Positive psychology interventions that increase positive constructs may facilitate adjustment and improve well-being in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The primary goal of this study was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a 5-week group positive psychology intervention for patients with MS. In addition, we examined the utility of the group intervention to increase positive psychological constructs and health-related quality of life (HRQOL).

Methods:
11 patients completed 5 weeks of group positive psychology training, one time per week (session duration, 45–60 minutes). Each week, patients completed one of the following positive psychology exercises: gratitude for positive events, personal strengths, gratitude letter, enjoyable and meaningful activities, and remembering past successes. Patients completed patient-reported outcome measures, including measures of positive affect, optimism, depression, anxiety, and HRQOL, at baseline and after 5 weeks.

Results:
All the participants completed the 5-week group positive psychology intervention, and 82% attended four or more sessions. Improvements in fatigue (vitality) and depression after the group intervention were significant (P = .016 and .049, respectively). There were no statistically significant changes in positive or negative affect, optimism, anxiety, HRQOL, or cognition.

Conclusions:
The 5-week group positive psychology intervention was feasible and acceptable to patients with MS. A randomized controlled trial is necessary to further explore the effectiveness of the group intervention.
Seismic characteristics of supershear and sub‐Rayleigh earthquakes: Implication from simple cases
Authors: Zhang Zhenguo , Xu Jiankuan , Huang Hanqing , Chen Xiaofei 
Published: June 2017

AbstractNumerous investigations of supershear earthquakes make a conclusion that a supershear earthquake produces a seismic shock wave on the ground that may increase the resulting destruction. We investigate a supershear rupture promoted by the free surface and find out that although the seismic energy of a supershear earthquake can be transmitted further with large amplitudes, the peak slip velocity on a fault near the free surface is smaller than that caused by a subshear rupture earthquake. Our results show that the free‐surface‐induced supershear rupture mitigates the amplitudes of ground motions near the fault plane compared with the subshear rupture. The Coulomb failure change derived from dynamic modeling further suggests that this free‐surface‐induced supershear reduces aftershock potential compared to a subshear rupture. Both ground motion at near‐fault and aftershock possibility show low risk for the free‐surface‐induced supershear rupture earthquake than subshear earthquake, contrary to the traditional concept.
New methodology for computing tsunami generation by subaerial landslides: Application to the 2015 Tyndall Glacier landslide, Alaska
Authors: George D. L. , Iverson R. M. , Cannon C. M. 
Published: June 2017

AbstractLandslide‐generated tsunamis pose significant hazards and involve complex, multiphase physics that are challenging to model. We present a new methodology in which our depth‐averaged two‐phase model D‐Claw is used to seamlessly simulate all stages of landslide dynamics as well as tsunami generation, propagation, and inundation. Because the model describes the evolution of solid and fluid volume fractions, it treats both landslides and tsunamis as special cases of a more general class of phenomena. Therefore, the landslide and tsunami can be efficiently simulated as a single‐layer continuum with evolving solid‐grain concentrations, and with wave generation via direct longitudinal momentum transfer—a dominant physical mechanism that has not been previously addressed in this manner. To test our methodology, we used D‐Claw to model a large subaerial landslide and resulting tsunami that occurred on 17 October 2015, in Taan Fjord near the terminus of Tyndall Glacier, Alaska. Modeled shoreline inundation patterns compare well with those observed in satellite imagery.
Group of 77
Authors: Collins Michael 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The Group of 77 (G77) is a UN‐based bloc of developing countries that was formed in 1964 by India, Ecuador, Nigeria, Iran, and dozens of other nations that believed the international economic system was frustrating their efforts to industrialize. The Group, in its founding document, calls for an era of global economic cooperation to end “the division of the world into areas of affluence and intolerable poverty.” In pursuing this goal, the Group has struggled against often stiff resistance from affluent nations (the “North”) and divergent and even contradictory interests and agendas within its own ranks.
Hypercapitalism
Authors: Vujnovic Marina 
Published: June 2017

AbstractHypercapitalism is a term used by Marxist scholars, in their continuing critique of political economy, to depict a relatively new form of capitalistic social organization marked by the speed and intensity of global flows that include exchange of both material and immaterial goods, people, and information. Hypercapitalism, sometimes referred to as corporate capitalism, is blamed by critical scholars for causing misbalance and fragmentation of social life by allowing commercial or business interests to penetrate every aspect of human experience. In other words, critical scholars believe that once‐separate spheres of culture and commerce now overlap and, in return, culture and the way of life in a hypercapitalist society becomes subsumed by the commercial sphere. In addition, critical scholars believe that this new type of capitalist system has moved toward an extreme laissez‐faire capitalism that is marked by greed, selfishness, destruction, wars, and exploitation. Harman (2009) explains that, since the 1980s, a push for deregulation has allowed for a free flow of capital with little or no regulation and opportunity for intervention from governments. He believes that this very process of deregulation and expansion of neoliberal economic visions, which is masked as globalization, has led to a deviant form of capitalism that he calls “zombie capitalism.” Hypercapitalism can also be linked to the term “late capitalism,” which was originated by Jameson (1990) who linked particular economic processes to postmodernism. In his work, he linked the cultural shift from modernism to postmodernism to the shift to a capitalist system that is marked by fragmentation and alienation.
Organization of American States (OAS)
Authors: Mace Gordon 
Published: June 2017

AbstractThe Organization of American States (OAS) is considered by many to be the oldest regional institution in the world. A successor to the International Union of American Republic, established in 1890, it was formally created in 1948 on the occasion of the Ninth International Conference of American States, held in Bogota, Colombia. The constituent document of the inter‐American system, the Charter of the Organization of American States, identified the main organs of the OAS as being the Inter‐American Conference, later replaced by the General Assembly, the Meeting of Consultation of Ministers of Foreign Affairs, the OAS Council (now Permanent Council), the General Secretariat, and the Inter‐American Economic and Social Council (now Inter‐American Council on Integral Development) (Connell‐Smith 1974: 202). Membership includes all countries of the Hemisphere, but the government of Cuba was excluded from participation in OAS activities in 1962 by a majority vote.

Published: June 2017

Abstract

Background
Lifelong medical follow-up is mandatory after bariatric surgery. The aim of this study was to assess the 5-year follow-up after bariatric surgery in a nationwide cohort of patients.

Methods
All adult obese patients who had undergone primary bariatric surgery in 2009 in France were included. Data were extracted from the French national health insurance database. Medical follow-up (medical visits, micronutrient supplementation and blood tests) during the first 5 years after bariatric surgery was assessed, and compared with national and international guidelines.

Results
Some 16 620 patients were included in the study. The percentage of patients with at least one reimbursement for micronutrient supplements decreased between the first and fifth years for iron (from 27.7 to 24.5 per cent; P &lt; 0.001) and calcium (from 14·4 to 7·7 per cent; P &lt; 0·001), but increased for vitamin D (from 33·1 to 34·7 per cent; P &lt; 0·001). The percentage of patients with one or more visits to a surgeon decreased between the first and fifth years, from 87·1 to 29·6 per cent (P &lt; 0·001); similar decreases were observed for visits to a nutritionist/endocrinologist (from 22·8 to 12·4 per cent; P &lt; 0·001) or general practitioner (from 92·6 to 83·4 per cent; P &lt; 0·001). The mean number of visits to a general practitioner was 7·0 and 6·1 in the first and the fifth years respectively. In multivariable analyses, male sex, younger age, absence of type 2 diabetes and poor 1-year follow-up were predictors of poor 5-year follow-up.

Conclusion
Despite clear national and international guidelines, long-term follow-up after bariatric surgery is poor, especially for young men with poor early follow-up.
