Resistance to nutritional stress in ants: when being fat is advantageous
Authors: Dussutour Audrey , Poissonnier Laure-Anne , Buhl Camille , Simpson Stephen J. 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
In ants, nutrient acquisition for the whole colony relies on a minority of workers, the foragers, which are often old and lean. Some studies have shown that the link between age, physiology and foraging activity is more flexible than once thought, especially in response to colony or environmental perturbations. This great plasticity offers the intriguing possibility to disentangle the effect of age, behaviour and physiology on the ants’ abilities to cope with nutritional stresses. In this paper, we first looked at the capacity of groups of foragers and inner-nest workers to resist starvation and macronutrient imbalance. Second, we investigated whether behavioural task reversion modified the tolerance to nutritional stresses and by extension, changed mortality rate. We found that inner-nest workers live longer than foragers under nutritional stresses but not under optimal conditions. The reversion from foraging to inner-nest activities is followed by an increase in fat content and longevity. Finally, we demonstrated that changes in fat content associated with behavioural transition are highly flexible and strongly correlated to tolerance of nutritional stress. Our results have considerable implications for our understanding of the population dynamics of social insects under adverse nutritional conditions.
Promoting development and uptake of health innovations: The Nose to Tail Tool

Published: March 2016

IntroductionHealth sector management is increasingly complex as new health technologies, treatments, and innovative service delivery strategies are developed. Many of these innovations are implemented prematurely, or fail to be implemented at scale, resulting in substantial wasted resources. MethodsA scoping review was conducted to identify articles that described the scale up process conceptually or that described an instance in which a healthcare innovation was scaled up. We define scale up as the expansion and extension of delivery or access to an innovation for all end users in a jurisdiction who will benefit from it.ResultsSixty nine articles were eligible for review. Frequently described stages in the innovation process and contextual issues that influence progress through each stage were mapped. 16 stages were identified: 12 deliberation and 4 action stages. Included papers suggest that innovations progress through stages of maturity and the uptake of innovation depends on the innovation aligning with the interests of 3 critical stakeholder groups (innovators, end users and the decision makers) and is also influenced by 3 broader contexts (social and physical environment, the health system, and the regulatory, political and economic environment). The 16 stages form the rows of the Nose to Tail Tool (NTT) grid and the 6 contingency factors form columns. The resulting stage-by-issue grid consists of 72 cells, each populated with cell-specific questions, prompts and considerations from the reviewed literature.ConclusionWe offer a tool that helps stakeholders identify the stage of maturity of their innovation, helps facilitate deliberative discussions on the key considerations for each major stakeholder group and the major contextual barriers that the innovation faces. We believe the NTT will help to identify potential problems that the innovation will face and facilitates early modification, before large investments are made in a potentially flawed solution.
Case Report: Prune perineum syndrome: A rare case with an unfavourable outcome

Published: March 2016

Prune perineum syndrome (PPS) is a rare anomaly, with only two previous case reports, both dying in the perinatal period. We report the first case of PPS that reached childhood.The patient presented with hypoplastic genitalia and bilateral cryptorchidism. There was no evidence of an anal orifice. A significant prune-like mass was observed, extending from the perineum to both gluteal regions and to a cephalic mid-line bony prominence, with a 1cm central orifice that discharged urine. MRI confirmed the previous findings and revealed a right crossed ectopic kidney, intestinal malrotation, a hypoplastic infrarenal inferior vena cava and a hypoplastic right iliac artery. Endoscopic evaluation through the orifice revealed a cavity lined by urothelial mucosa, with a small communication to the anterior urethra in its anterior wall. A staged reconstruction was planned, with a first-step urinary diversion through a continent abdominal reservoir associated to bilateral orchiopexy. The patient was discharged from the hospital three weeks later under intermittent catheterization. The next planned surgical step was the resection of the perineal mass and its cavity associated to the removal of the prominent sacrococcygeal bones. Unfortunately, four months after the first surgery the patient developed an acute abdomen and underwent a laparotomy that revealed a necrotic ileal segment secondary to obstructive adherences. He developed severe malabsorption followed by septic shock, dying five weeks after the procedure. Due to the lack of literature, there is no consensus for the management of these cases. The wish of the family for a better quality of life and social acceptance, compelled us to perform a urinary diversion, to be followed by a plastic and orthopedic reconstruction. Despite the successful initial result, the patient developed a late abdominal obstruction that was misdiagnosed, precipitating his untimely death five months after the first procedure.

Currently, is much spoken about the transition from the industrial era to the intellectual, in particular, about the development of the creative economy, which is based on intellectual activities, generation new knowledge, design thinking, creative imagination and creativity. Creative potential is becoming a major production resource. And creative class, people who are able to be creative and to generate something new that attracts attention, is a key element of this kind of economy. The ability to enter the market with the results of creativity brings to birth the effect of the creative industry - generation of communities of creative enterprises and industries that shape creative cluster.
The definitions of the term «cluster» for a detailed consideration of the concept of «creative cluster» are generalized in the article. Special attention is paid to creative industries as a phenomenon of modernity and as part of a creative cluster. The article presents the characteristic of the conceptual accommodation facilities, among which design-, art- and boutique hotels are allocated, as well as their role in a creative cluster as an element bearing creative burden is defined.
When Suppliers Climb the Value Chain: A Theory of Value Distribution in Vertical Relationships
Authors: Wan Zhixi , Wu Brian 
Published: March 2016

Although offshore outsourcing has become an important strategy to lower production costs among Western firms, it gives rise to the phenomenon of value chain climbing—suppliers in emerging markets can develop capabilities by supplying, with aspirations to compete with the buyers in the product market. We build an analytical model to study the impact of value chain climbing on value distribution in vertical relationships. The analysis identifies a set of dominant relationships, characterizes how the buyer’s optimal choice among these relationships depends on firms’ relative competitiveness in the product market and the supplier’s speed of capability development, and shows how the optimal choice evolves with the dynamics of the supplier’s capability development. The results provide new insights into our understanding of value distribution in vertical relationships across different contexts and over time. By endogenizing the supplier’s entry into the product market, our study enriches the literatures on vertical relationships, market entry, and the management of global value chains.

The Olmstead Imperative: The Right to Live in the Community and Beyond
Authors: Dinerstein Robert D. 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Of the 20 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) cases that the United States Supreme Court has decided in the 25 years of the statute's existence, Olmstead v. L.C. by Zimring is without doubt the most significant for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Olmstead is the only Supreme Court ADA case that specifically addresses the rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, but its importance goes well beyond this specific fact. In this essay, I set out the holding of the Olmstead decision, its connection to, and extension of, prior case law, the extent of its subsequent enforcement, and its implications in areas that go beyond the institutional context of the case itself.
The Importance of Reagent Lot Registration in External Quality Assurance/Proficiency Testing Schemes
Authors: Stavelin Anne , Riksheim Berit Oddny , Christensen Nina Gade , Sandberg Sverre 
Published: March 2016

Abstract

BACKGROUND
Providers of external quality assurance (EQA)/proficiency testing schemes have traditionally focused on evaluation of measurement procedures and participant performance and little attention has been given to reagent lot variation. The aim of the present study was to show the importance of reagent lot registration and evaluation in EQA schemes.

METHODS
Results from the Noklus (Norwegian Quality Improvement of Primary Care Laboratories) urine albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) and prothrombin time international normalized ratio (INR) point-of-care EQA schemes from 2009–2015 were used as examples in this study.

RESULTS
The between-participant CV for Afinion ACR increased from 6%–7% to 11% in 3 consecutive surveys. This increase was caused by differences between albumin reagent lots that were also observed when fresh urine samples were used. For the INR scheme, the CoaguChek INR results increased with the production date of the reagent lots, with reagent lot medians increasing from 2.0 to 2.5 INR and from 2.7 to 3.3 INR (from the oldest to the newest reagent lot) for 2 control levels, respectively. These differences in lot medians were not observed when native patient samples were used.

CONCLUSIONS
Presenting results from different reagent lots in EQA feedback reports can give helpful information to the participants that may explain their deviant EQA results. Information regarding whether the reagent lot differences found in the schemes can affect patient samples is important and should be communicated to the participants as well as to the manufacturers. EQA providers should consider registering and evaluating results from reagent lots.
Perkembangan Urban Sprawl Kota Semarang pada Wilayah Kabupaten Demak Tahun 2001-2012
Authors: Mujiandari Reni 
Published: March 2016

<p class="Abstract">Urban sprawl merupakan fenomena yang terjadi akibat perkembangan kota yang semakin pesat, tetapi memiliki keterbatasan lahan sehingga perkembangan kota semakin meluas ke wilayah pinggiran (sub-urban). Wilayah sub-urban yang masih tergantung kepada kota inti juga menjadi salah satu pemicu proses urbanisasi terjadi di wilayah pinggiran tersebut (Soetomo, 2009). Fenomena tersebut terjadi di Kota Semarang yang terus berkembang, tetapi memiliki keterbatasan lahan. Kondisi tersebut menyebabkan terjadinya perkembangan kota hingga melewati batas administrasi salah satunya ke arah Kabupaten Demak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji bagaimana perkembangan sprawl Kota Semarang pada wilayah Kabupaten Demak selama tahun 2001-2012. Urban sprawl pada penelitian ini ditinjau dari dua dimensi yaitu dimensi fisikal dan non fisikal. Dimensi fisikal meliputi pemanfaatan lahan, kepadatan bangunan, fungsi bangunan dan tingkat aksesibilitas. Dimensi non fisikal meliputi kepadatan penduduk dan mata pencaharian agraris penduduk. Sprawl Kota Semarang pada wilayah Kabupaten Demak selama tahun 2001-2012 telah bertambah seluas 498,685 Ha (32,23%), yang terdiri dari perubahan dari urban sprawl menjadi non-urban sprawl sebesar 488,278 ha dan perubahan dari non-urban sprawl menjadi urban sprawl sebesar 986,963 ha. Perkembangan sprawl memiliki pola kombinasi ribbon development dan leap frog development. Wilayah Kabupaten Demak dengan jarak 7,5-10 km dari pusat Kota Semarang (ring 1) merupakan wilayah yang mengalami perkembangan urban sprawl terbesar. Hal ini menunjukan bahwa jarak terhadap pusat kota menjadi salah satu faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap terjadinya sprawl. Untuk mengatasi perkembangan sprawl agar tidak semakin meluas diperlukan kebijakan mengenai arahan pengembangan perumahan pada kawasan urban sprawl, penambahan fasilitas umum dan penyediaan sarana dan prasarana angkutan masal yang terintegrasi dengan terminal terdekat di Kota Semarang.</p><strong></strong>
