The National People's Congress Oversight Power and the Role of the CCP
Authors: Chien-Min Chao 
Published: October 2017

The urbanization and the structural and institutional changes that have taken
place in China in the past two decades have resulted in the collapse of the old
system and the germination of a tremendous number of irregularities. To redress
the malfeasance brought about by the new decentralization of economic resources,
the People's Congresses (PCs) are taking the lead in another round of incremental
political reforms. The combination of specialization and centralization of
leadership has led to an augmentation of legislative oversight. Measures
developed by the legislative institutions, such as pingyi (evaluation) and zhifa
jiancha (inspection of implementation of laws), have enlivened a lethargic local
political scene and given rise to the committee autonomy. These political reforms
have transformed local politics forever, forcing the central government to follow
suit. The urgent need for institutional mechanisms to counter the vices associated
with socialist market reform has prompted the Party to turn its attention to the
People's Congresses. Consequently, a Leninist party-state system has been
transformed into a new system in which the Party is allied simultaneously with
the executive and the legislative branches. A preliminary and limited balance of
power is now emerging in which the Party is not totally immune. The newly
accrued legislative powers have not only redefined the tenets of Party leadership,
but also rewritten its relations with the executive branch. Although the PCs are
still often barred from vital decision-making, new devices such as pingyi and zhifa
jiancha are forcing some local officials to have second thoughts before straying
too far from legal boundaries.
The Political Management of Mayors in Post-Deng China
Authors: Landry Pierre F. 
Published: October 2017

This article examines how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) maintains political
control over municipal elites in post-Deng China. First, it analyses the career paths
of mayors for all prefecture-level municipalities between 1990 and 2000. It then
shows how the dual processes of economic decentralization and the
decentralization of the personnel management system has not led to a decline of
the CCP's capacity to enforce key organizational norms. An ordered probit model
of cadre promotion suggests that the economic performance of cities has little
substantive impact on promotion or removal from office. However, strict
enforcement of cadre retirement regulations has the effect of shortening the tenure
of mayors, which facilitates the promotion of a greater share of secondary officials
than was possible before the reforms of the personnel system, but weakens the
link between good governance and political rewards.
Which Analysts Benefited Most from Mandatory IFRS Adoption in Europe?

Published: October 2017

ABSTRACT
This study examines whether financial analysts' research structure and portfolio selection choices helped in improving relative earnings forecast accuracy around mandatory IFRS adoption in Europe. Using a sample of 68,665 one-year ahead forecasts for 1,980 publicly listed firms, we find that market-wide mandatory IFRS adoption in the European Union resulted in a significant improvement in the relative forecast accuracy of sector specialists compared to generalists, while country specialists retained a relative accuracy advantage independent of the period of study. Moreover, sector specialists outperformed generalists especially for firms with large local GAAP to IFRS income reconciliations in the first-time IFRS adoption year and when analysts' research portfolios prior to IFRS adoption exhibited high variability in local GAAP reporting practices. Additional analysis indicates that IFRS enabled analysts to initiate coverage of more firms, especially smaller ones, in their sector of specialization. Overall, our results are consistent with the notion that mandatory IFRS adoption in Europe reduced information processing costs and enlarged the within-industry valuation scope.

A Badacsony freatomagmás piroklasztit-sorozata: következtetések a monogenetikus bazaltvulkáni működés folyamataira és formáira

Published: October 2017

A tanulmányban a Bakony–Balaton-felvidéki Vulkáni Terület (BBVT) legismertebb tanúhegyén, a Badacsonyon kibukkanó freatomagmás piroklasztit-sorozat első kvantitatív leírását és vulkanológiai értelmezését mutatjuk be. A piroklasztitok juvenilis / litikus törmelékeinek arányát pontszámlálásos módszerrel vizsgáltuk vágott kézipéldány-felszíneken. A felület%-ban kapott eredményeket a kőzetminták teljes térfogatára vonatkozónak vettük. E módszer segítségével meghatároztuk a freatomagmás robbanások relatív mélységét a szinvulkáni felszínhez képest, következtetéseket vontunk le a lehetséges szineruptív vulkánmorfológiára, valamint a terepi megfigyelések és korábbi tanulmányok alapján rekonstuáltuk a vulkán működésének teljes fejlődéstörténetét.
A képelemzés során megállapítottuk litikus elegyrészek minimális arányát. Ebből, valamint a piroklasztitok térbeli elterjedéséből és rétegtani helyzetéből valószínűsíthető, hogy a Badacsony egy monogenetikus (esetleg policiklikus) tufagyűrű vagy sekély maar vulkán volt, amelynek kialakulásában a víz-magma kölcsönhatás következtében történt sekély mélységű freatomagmás robbanások játszották a fő szerepet. A tufagyűrű vulkáni forma a litoklasztok kis mennyiségével alátámasztható. Viszonylag kevés litoklasztot tartalmazó freatomagmás kitörési termékek nem csak tufagyűrűk, hanem puha, konszolidálatlan kőzeten kialakuló sekély maarok képződményei is lehetnek, amely modell a Badacsony esetében is valószínűsíthető.
A terepi megfigyelések, valamint a képelemzés eredménye alapján a vulkanizmus freatomagmás robbanásos, lávaöntő és magmás robbanásos fázisokra osztható. Ezen adatok alapján vulkáni fejlődéstörténeti modellt állítottunk fel. A kevés korábbi, célzott vulkanológiai szemléletű munka miatt e „kezdeti” adatok megfelelő alapot adhatnak a további badacsonyi vulkanológiai kutatásoknak.

Published: October 2017

The globalization of information technology has been an agent of changes in almost every aspect of our life especially in the way we learn. The current generation as referred to by Prensky (2001), “digital native”, has been fully influenced by the technology. This challenge created a pedagogic imbalance as the current learners becomes uncomfortable with the old traditional methods of teaching. As a result digital games were advocated. This research investigates the acceptance of DGBL among undergraduate students of Multimedia University of Malaysia. 171 questionnaires were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistics which covered perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and attitudes towards use. The result indicated that, students with agreed and strongly agreed responses have higher mean and standard deviation. The research also verifies whether there exist any significant differences of the user demography (gender and age-group) and their attitude towards use. Mann Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis H test were used for the analysis. The result showed that there were no statistically significant differences.

<p>Este artigo contribui para o processo de tomada de decisão dos stakeholders da cafeicultura certificada fairtrade do Brasil. Faz um posicionamento amplo e atual sobre o cenário da certificação fairtrade na cafeicultura do Brasil. Foi desenvolvido por meio de revisão bibliográfica e entrevistas em instituições ligadas à certificação no Brasil. Seus principais resultados indicam que: i) metade das cooperativas de cafeicultores do Brasil se certificaram entre 2009 e 2015; ii) em poucas cooperativas estão concentrados a maior parte dos cafeicultores e das vendas de café fairtrade do Brasil ; iii) pesquisas científicas brasileiras apontam que a certificação tem contribuído para a melhoria da gestão das propriedades e para a internacionalização dos negócios; iv) literatura internacional indica vantagens, mas também problemas na distribuição dos benefícios e muitos casos onde os impactos da certificação para a cafeicultura foram irrisórios. Ainda não é possível afirmar se a certificação fairtrade está ou não atingindo seus objetivos no contexto agregado da cafeicultura do Brasil.</p>
The evaluation of anaemia in an older primary care population: retrospective population-based study
Authors: McCartney David , Shine Brian , Hay Deborah , Lasserson Daniel S 
Published: October 2017

BackgroundAnaemia is common in older people and the identification of potentially reversible haematinic deficiencies relies on appropriate investigation, often undertaken in primary care.AimTo determine the laboratory prevalence of anaemia, the types of anaemia observed, and the biochemical and haematological investigations undertaken to characterise any associated haematinic abnormality in older primary care patients.Design & settingA retrospective primary care based study of patients aged >65 years undergoing a full blood count in Oxfordshire, UK between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2013.MethodConsecutive patients aged >65 years with a full blood count were identified retrospectively from a laboratory database. Patient demographics, number of blood tests and additional laboratory investigations requested were recorded. World Health Organisation (WHO) criteria were used to define anaemia.ResultsIn total 151 473 full blood counts from 53 890 participants were included: 29.6% of patients were anaemic. The majority had a normocytic anaemia (82.4%) and 46.0% of participants with anaemia had no additional investigations performed. The mean haemoglobin was lower in the anaemic group that underwent further investigation than those who did not (Hb 10.68 g/dl versus 11.24 g/dl, P<0.05): 33.2 % of patients with a microcytic anaemia (mean cell volume <80) did not have any markers of iron status measured.ConclusionA large proportion of older adults in primary care with a recent blood test are anaemic, the majority with a normocytic anaemia, with evidence of inadequate investigation. Those with lower haemoglobin are more likely to be further investigated. Further work is needed to understand the approach to anaemia in older adults in primary care.
High-cadence, High-resolution Spectroscopic Observations of Herbig Stars HD 98922 and V1295 Aquila

Published: October 2017

Abstract
Recent observational work has indicated that mechanisms for accretion and outflow in Herbig Ae/Be star–disk systems may differ from magnetospheric accretion (MA) as it is thought to occur in T Tauri star–disk systems. In this work, we assess the temporal evolution of spectral lines probing accretion and mass loss in Herbig Ae/Be systems and test for consistency with the MA paradigm. For two Herbig Ae/Be stars, HD 98922 (B9e) and V1295 Aql (A2e), we have gathered multi-epoch (∼years) and high-cadence (∼minutes) high-resolution optical spectra to probe a wide range of kinematic processes. Employing a line equivalent width evolution correlation metric introduced here, we identify species co-evolving (indicative of common line origin) via novel visualization. We interferometrically constrain often problematically degenerate parameters, inclination and inner-disk radius, allowing us to focus on the structure of the wind, magnetosphere, and inner gaseous disk in radiative transfer models. Over all timescales sampled, the strongest variability occurs within the blueshifted absorption components of the Balmer series lines; the strength of variability increases with the cadence of the observations. Finally, high-resolution spectra allow us to probe substructure within the Balmer series’ blueshifted absorption components: we observe static, low-velocity features and time-evolving features at higher velocities. Overall, we find the observed line morphologies and variability are inconsistent with a scaled-up T Tauri MA scenario. We suggest that as magnetic field structure and strength change dramatically with increasing stellar mass from T Tauri to Herbig Ae/Be stars, so too may accretion and outflow processes.
Stellar Winds and Dust Avalanches in the AU Mic Debris Disk
Authors: Chiang Eugene , Fung Jeffrey 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
We explain the fast-moving, ripple-like features in the edge-on debris disk orbiting the young M dwarf AU Mic. The bright features are clouds of submicron dust repelled by the host star’s wind. The clouds are produced by avalanches: radial outflows of dust that gain exponentially more mass as they shatter background disk particles in collisional chain reactions. The avalanches are triggered from a region a few au across—the “avalanche zone”—located on AU Mic’s primary “birth” ring at a true distance of ∼35 au from the star but at a projected distance more than a factor of 10 smaller: the avalanche zone sits directly along the line of sight to the star, on the side of the ring nearest Earth, launching clouds that disk rotation sends wholly to the southeast, as observed. The avalanche zone marks where the primary ring intersects a secondary ring of debris left by the catastrophic disruption of a progenitor up to Varuna in size, less than tens of thousands of years ago. Only where the rings intersect are particle collisions sufficiently violent to spawn the submicron dust needed to seed the avalanches. We show that this picture works quantitatively, reproducing the masses, sizes, and velocities of the observed escaping clouds. The Lorentz force exerted by the wind’s magnetic field, whose polarity reverses periodically according to the stellar magnetic cycle, promises to explain the observed vertical undulations. The timescale between avalanches, about 10 yr, might be set by time variability of the wind mass loss rate or, more speculatively, by some self-regulating limit cycle.
Theoretical Description of GRB 160625B with Wind-to-ISM Transition and Implications for a Magnetized Outflow

Published: October 2017

Abstract
GRB 160625B, one of the brightest bursts in recent years, was simultaneously observed by Fermi and Swift satellites, and ground-based optical telescopes in three different events separated by long periods of time. In this paper, the non-thermal multiwavelength observations of GRB 160625B are described and a transition phase from wind-type-like medium to interstellar medium (ISM) between the early (event II) and the late (event III) afterglow is found. The multiwavelength observations of the early afterglow are consistent with the afterglow evolution starting at ∼150 s in a stellar wind medium, whereas the observations of the late afterglow are consistent with the afterglow evolution in ISM. The wind-to-ISM transition is calculated to be at

s when the jet has decelerated, at a distance of ∼1 pc from the progenitor. Using the standard external shock model, the synchrotron and synchrotron self-Compton emission from reverse shock is required to model the GeV γ-ray and optical observations in the early afterglow, and synchrotron radiation from the adiabatic forward shock to describe the X-ray and optical observations in the late afterglow. The derived values of the magnetization parameter, the slope of the fast decay of the optical flash, and the inferred magnetic fields suggest that Poynting flux-dominated jet models with arbitrary magnetization could account for the spectral properties exhibited by GRB 160625B.
Haro 11: Where is the Lyman Continuum Source?
Authors: Keenan Ryan P. , Oey M. S. , Jaskot Anne E. , James Bethan L. 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Identifying the mechanism by which high-energy Lyman continuum (LyC) photons escaped from early galaxies is one of the most pressing questions in cosmic evolution. Haro 11 is the best known local LyC-leaking galaxy, providing an important opportunity to test our understanding of LyC escape. The observed LyC emission in this galaxy presumably originates from one of the three bright, photoionizing knots known as A, B, and C. It is known that Knot C has strong Lyα emission, and Knot B hosts an unusually bright ultraluminous X-ray source, which may be a low-luminosity active galactic nucleus. To clarify the LyC source, we carry out ionization-parameter mapping (IPM) by obtaining narrow-band imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 and ACS cameras to construct spatially resolved ratio maps of [O iii]/[O ii] emission from the galaxy. IPM traces the ionization structure of the interstellar medium and allows us to identify optically thin regions. To optimize the continuum subtraction, we introduce a new method for determining the best continuum scale factor derived from the mode of the continuum-subtracted, image flux distribution. We find no conclusive evidence of LyC escape from Knots B or C, but instead we identify a high-ionization region extending over at least 1 kpc from Knot A. This knot shows evidence of an extremely young age (≲1 Myr), perhaps containing very massive stars (>100 M
⊙). It is weak in Lyα, so if it is confirmed as the LyC source, our results imply that LyC emission may be independent of Lyα emission.
Ulcerated Metatypical Basal Cell Carcinoma of the Forehead
Authors: Cardoso Jose , Wollina Uwe , Tchernev Georgi 
Published: October 2017

An 81-year-old male presented with an ulcerated lesion on the frontal area. The lesion had started three years before with a small ulceration and was initially treated with a cream of betamethasone and fusidic acid twice daily for several months. The clinical impression was ulcerated basal cell carcinoma (BCC).The histopathological findings after surgical excision were consistent with metatypical or basosquamous carcinoma. The importance of metatypical and basosquamous carcinomas is their potential for a more aggressive behaviour than conventional BCC, both regarding local recurrences and metastatic disease. Clinicians should be aware of the more aggressive behaviour of metatypical BCC since it may influence the protocols of follow-up of these patients to timely detect local recurrences and/or metastatic disease.

The ERM Protein Moesin Regulates CD8+ Regulatory T Cell Homeostasis and Self-Tolerance
Authors: Satooka Hiroki , Nagakubo Daisuke , Sato Tomomi , Hirata Takako 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
The ezrin–radixin–moesin (ERM) proteins are a family of membrane-associated proteins that link membrane proteins with actin filaments in the cell cortex and regulate many cellular processes, including cell shape determination, membrane transport, and signal transduction. Lymphocytes predominantly express two ERM members, ezrin and moesin. Mutations in the moesin gene in humans are associated with primary immunodeficiency with profound lymphopenia, and moesin-deficient mice exhibit a similar lymphopenia phenotype. In this study, we show that aging moesin-deficient mice develop a systemic lupus erythematosus–like autoimmune phenotype, which is characterized by elevated serum autoantibody levels and glomerulonephritis. Younger moesin-deficient mice exhibited elevated basal levels of several Ig isotypes and enhanced Ab affinity maturation upon immunization. Germinal center B cells and follicular helper T cells spontaneously accumulated in unimmunized mice, and CD8+CD44+CD122+Ly49+ regulatory T (CD8+ Tregs) cells, which inhibit the expansion of follicular helper T cells, were severely reduced in these mice. Isolated CD8+ Treg cells from moesin-deficient mice showed impaired proliferation in response to IL-15, which was accompanied by defects in STAT5 activation and IL-15Rα internalization, suggesting that moesin plays a key role in IL-15–mediated signaling. These findings underscore the importance of moesin in IL-15–dependent CD8+ Treg cell homeostasis and, thus, the control of self-tolerance.
