The Employee as the Unknown Actor? A Discourse Analysis of the Employee Share Ownership Debate with Special Emphasis on Central and Eastern Europe
Authors: Kranz Olaf , Steger Thomas , Hartz Ronald 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Background and purpose: Although employee share ownership (ESO) deserves of a long tradition, we still know little about employees’ perspectives about ESO. The lack of knowledge about the employees’ attitudes towards ESO is discursively filled in the ESO debate. This paper challenges that deficit by carrying out a semantic analysis of the literature with the aim to identify the various actor constructions used implicitly in the ESO discourse.
Design/Methodology/Approach: We conduct a semantic analysis of the ESO discourse. To unfold the order of this discourse we draw on the distinction between surface and underlying structure of communication in the sense of Michel Foucault. We interpret some semantic lead differences, a term coined by Niklas Luhmann, to constitute the underlying structure of communication.
Results: We can identify six different streams on the ESO discourse’s surface level each defined by the ends pursued. The discourse’s underlying structure is made up of the distinctions production-consumption, capital-labour, and ownership-control that also determine the actor models implicitly in use.
Conclusion: We can identify five different actor models implicit in the ESO discourse. While the CEE discourse differs on the surface level in as far as it is more concerned with questions of political legitimation of the privatisation process than with questions of economic efficiency, thus introducing political distinctions in the discourse rather missing in the west, it shares the underlying semantic lead differences with the Western discourse as well as the actor models anchored in those differences.
The Determinants of Employee Ownership Plan Implementation in EU Countries – the Quest for Economic Democracy: a First Look at the Evidence
Authors: Machado Ricardo B. 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Background and purpose: Kelso’s quest to identify the economic counterpart of political democracy and, as a corollary, his concern about the nature of the economic system’s organisation needed to support the institutions of a politically free society, contributed two important terms: economic power and democracy. Following Kelso’s reasoning, my research study aims to understand the determinants of the implementation of economic democracy, measured by the incidence of employee share ownership plans, within European Union countries.
Methodology: Setting out with the theory of one of the founding fathers of employee stock ownership plans, I perform a cross-country analysis spanning five years (2008-2012) to explain the incidence level of employee ownership by independent variables operationalizing the political, legal, socio-educational and economic structures of twenty European Union countries. Using secondary data from the European Federation of Employee Share Ownership, I explain the determinants’ pertinence, while accounting for severe data limitations.
Results: I report a strong correlation between employee ownership incidence and the index of economic freedom. However, the labour market’s freedom, the trustworthiness of and confidence in financial markets and the quality of secondary and tertiary education do not deliver clear-cut results.
Conclusion: Further research should comprehensively scrutinise country-specific factors regarding corporate governance issues and cross-cultural controls. Employee ownership researchers should consider this field of research to understand why countries that are so-called employee ownership champions are experiencing widening income inequality.
Hydro-morphological classification of urban river sections based on LIDAR data
Authors: Hamerla Adam , Passia Henryk 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
The assessment of hydro-morphological conditions is a part of ecological evaluation of water bodies. Many methods have been developed, but only a few of them are dedicated to urban rivers. Hydro-morphological classification would be a basis for river valley management, including restoration issue. One of the main problems in this assessment is the rate of change in urban catchment and urban river valley. Traditional methods, which are based on field study, are expensive and prolonged. The paper is focussed on using Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) data for classification of urban river sections. Although the assessment based on this data has some limitations, it is a good alternative to field study and may provide preliminary screen of the river valley. This material will make possible observation of river valley evolution in the future.
Some Psychological Aspects of T1DM in Children and Adolescents
Authors: Pop-Jordanova Nada , Gucev Zoran 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1DM) is a chronic disease with long term consequences dictating daily struggle to maintain a good metabolic control.
Children and adolescents with T1DM seem to have inferior psychological adjustment to their normal counterparts, which might be associated with glycemic control and disease duration.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the psychological characteristics of children and adolescents with T1DM treated last year in the University Children Hospital in Skopje, Macedonia and to propose some response measures. For psychological evaluation we used CBCL (Child Behavior Check List), GAS (General Anxiety Scale), EPQ (Eysenck Personality Questionnaire) and MMPI-201 (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory).
The results confirmed the following psychological characteristics: mild depression and anxiety, emotional instability, need for social acceptance, as well as the possible psychopathic traits. Suffering for a complex metabolic and chronic illness, these patients need psychological evaluation and intervention in the management.

There is an increased interest among neurosurgeons to perform endovascular procedures for intracranial aneurysms. This has become a part of the neurosurgical residency in the US. We are presenting our first experience of ruptured aneurysm coiling using stent assisted technique.
Burden and epidemiology of neuropsychiatric disorders
Authors: Riedel Oliver 
Published: June 2016

Abstract:
Neurological and mental disorders (“neuropsychiatric disorders”) have received increasing attention from researchers during the past decades. The burden of disease is substantial, with more than 164 million people in the EU alone suffering from these diseases. Yet, despite an improved data basis on the epidemiology of single disorders from this spectrum, little is known about the frequency and sequelae of the co-occurrence of neurological and mental disorders. Using Parkinson’s disease as an example, recent findings underline that the co-occurrence of mental disorders further increases the burden of disease.

Zusammenfassung:
Passivrauchen ist ein bedeutsames Gesundheitsrisiko. Passivrauchen erhöht das Risiko für koronare Herzkrankheit, Schlaganfall, Lungenkrebs, chronisch obstruktive Lungenerkrankung und weitere Erkrankungen. Insgesamt versterben in Deutschland pro Jahr mehr als 3.300 Menschen durch Passivrauchen. Die wirksamste Prävention vor Passivrauchexposition besteht in der Schaffung einer rauchfreien Umwelt.
Ressorcenerhaltende Therapie bei Demenz: die MAKS- Studie
Authors: Gräßel Elmar , Behrndt Elisa-Marie , Straubmeier Melanie 
Published: June 2016

Zusammenfassung:
Da insbesondere degenerative Demenzen nicht ursächlich behandelbar sind und die medikamentösen Therapieoptionen geringe Effektstärken aufweisen, kommt den „nicht-medikamentösen Therapieansätzen“ große Bedeutung zu. Für die MAKS-Therapie® resultierte aus einer randomisiert-kontrollierten Studie, dass bei Menschen mit leichter oder mittelschwerer Demenz die kognitiven und alltagspraktischen Fähigkeiten mindestens ein Jahr lang auf dem Ausgangsniveau erhalten werden können, es also nicht zum weiteren Nachlassen der Fähigkeiten im Interventionszeitraum kam.
Localisation and Types of Cosmetic Medical Treatments - Correlation with Demographic Characteristics of Serbian Clients

Published: June 2016

Abstract
There is a growing number of cosmetic medical treatments in the Balkan region. Yet, this trend has not been closely observed in terms of the correlation between procedure characteristics and clients’ sociocultural and psychological characteristics.
The aim of this cross-sectional/retrospective research is to establish the correlation of types of cosmetic procedures with basic sociodemographic characteristics of clients in Serbia. Each of 144 study subjects underwent a cosmetic treatment (320 in total) within the first three months of 2014, while the study was being conducted. The sample included 5 male and 139 female subjects, with the age range of 17-71 (38.87±10.722).
Peaks of interventions have been detected in subjects aged 31-35 and 36-40; more frequently those were individuals with a higher level of education and their motive most commonly was of aesthetic nature. The majority of the subjects (44.44%) underwent only one intervention, while the average number of interventions per subject within the period of three months was 2.21±1.40. Face interventions were considerably higher in number than others, with a rising trend with age. The number of procedures in the area of the abdomen, breasts and thighs, rose with the increase of a body mass index. The most popular treatments included removal of stretch marks and fillers, mesotherapy and botulinum toxin.
Due to ever-growing sociocultural pressure and a modern concept of life, women often decide on cosmetic therapy at the first sign of ageing and hormonal changes, with a downward age trend especially with respect to minimally invasive procedures, as well as the most visible body parts, the face in the first place.
Numerical Investigation of Electromagnetic Scattering Problems Based on the Compactly Supported Radial Basis Functions

Published: June 2016

Abstract
In the current work, the electromagnetic (EM) scattering from infinite perfectly conducting cylinders with arbitrary cross sections in both transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) modes is numerically investigated. The problems of TE and TM EM scattering can be mathematically modelled via the magnetic field integral equation (MFIE) and the electric field integral equation (EFIE), respectively. An efficient technique is performed to approximate the solution of these surface integral equations. In the proposed numerical method, compactly supported radial basis functions (RBFs) are employed as the basis functions. The radial and compactly supported properties of these basis functions substantially reduce the computational cost and improve the efficiency of the method. To show the accuracy of the proposed technique, it has been applied to solve three interesting test problems. Moreover, the method is well used to compute the electric current density and also the radar cross section (RCS) for some practical scatterers with different cross section geometries. The reported numerical results through the tables and figures demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed technique.

Summary
Mitotane (o,p′-DDD) is the standard treatment for advanced adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC). Monitoring of plasma mitotane levels is recommended to look for a therapeutic window between 14 and 20mg/L, but its positive predictive value requires optimization. We report the case of an ACC patient with a history of dyslipidemia treated with mitotane in whom several plasma mitotane levels >30mg/L were found together with an excellent neurological tolerance. This observation led us to compare theoretical or measured o,p′-DDD and o,p′-DDE levels in a series of normolipidemic and dyslipidemic plasma samples to explore potential analytical issues responsible for an overestimation of plasma mitotane levels. We demonstrate an overestimation of mitotane measurements in dyslipidemic patients. Mitotane and o,p′-DDE measurements showed a mean 20% overestimation in hypercholesterolemic and hypertriglyceridemic plasma, compared with normolipidemic plasma. The internal standard p,p′-DDE measurements showed a parallel decrease in hypercholesterolemic and hypertriglyceridemic plasma, suggesting a matrix effect. Finally, diluting plasma samples and/or using phospholipid removal cartridges allowed correcting such interference.

Learning points

Hypercholesterolemia (HCH) and hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) induce an overestimation of plasma mitotane measurements.
We propose a routine monitoring of lipidemic status.
We propose optimized methodology of measurement before interpreting high plasma mitotane levels.

Chlamydophila pneumoniae is nadotrophic to endothelial, smooth muscle cells of blood vessels. Proven ability of the pathogen to initiate atherosclerosis and exacerbate it. The incidence of acute C. pneumoniae infection is higher in patients with acute coronary syndrome than in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease according to the published papers. The aim of the research was the diagnostics of C. pneumoniae infection in patients with acute coronary syndrome by two methods based on different principles. A total of 20 patients admitted to hospital with a preliminary acute coronary syndrome diagnosis. During the first hospital hours of stay based on complaints, medical history, physical examination, results of laboratory and instrumental examination those patients were diagnosed as unstable angina (n = 10) or nontransmural myocardial infarction (n = 10). According to treatment standart all patients underwent coronary angiography and angioplasty. Furthermore, these patients fulfilled fence of the clinical material as mucosal scrapings nasal passages and posterior wall of the oropharynx applied on glass slides. Also, there were samples of arterial blood smears, obtained from the conductors installed in the locations pointed to implement the coronary arteries and angioplasty. These samples were examined by indirect immunofluorescence with the form of specific monoclonal antibodies against the cell wall major outer membrane protein of C. pneumoniae. Serum was used for immunoassay to quantify classes A and G immunoglobulins against C. pneumoniae. When comparing the results of two diagnostics methods of C. pneumoniae chronic infection, it was diagnosed in 5 of the 20 patients studied. One patient was with unstable angina and 4 were with nontransmural myocardial infarction. The presence of acute infection C. pneumoniae has been proven in 9 of 20 patients, including 4 patients with unstable angina and 5 with nontransmural myocardial infarction. Also found that patients with acute coronary syndrome, the infection can occur both by seropositive and seronegative types. Thus, acute coronary syndrome may be associated with chronic or acute infection of C. pneumoniae. The relevance of further study of the infection in patients with atherosclerosis was confirmed once again.

Published: June 2016

ABSTRACT
This paper complements a panel session pertaining to past and future AIS research that was held during the 2015 American Accounting Association Annual Meeting. There are two main parts to this commentary. First, using text mining techniques on AIS article abstracts for the period 1986–2014, we identify the top research themes across three leading AIS journals (Journal of Information Systems, International Journal of Accounting Information Systems, and Journal of Emerging Technologies in Accounting). We chart the usage of these themes over time and discuss their shifting popularity. Second, we speculate on the future of AIS research and identify a series of broad research streams that may garner greater importance over the next 30 years. A host of broad research questions accompany the discussion of emerging and anticipated research streams in order to motivate and guide future research.
Biomechanical comparison of short-segment posterior fixation including the fractured level and circumferential fixation for unstable burst fractures of the lumbar spine in a calf spine model

Published: June 2016

OBJECTIVE
There has been a transition from long- to short-segment instrumentation for unstable burst fractures to preserve motion segments. Circumferential fixation allows a stable short-segment construct, but the associated morbidity and complications are high. Posterior short-segment fixation spanning one level above and below the fractured vertebra has led to clinical failures. Augmentation of this method by including the fractured level in the posterior instrumentation has given promising clinical results. The purpose of this study is to compare the biomechanical stability of short-segment posterior fixation including the fractured level (SSPI) to circumferential fixation in thoracolumbar burst fractures.

METHODS
An unstable burst fracture was created in 10 fresh-frozen bovine thoracolumbar spine specimens, which were grouped into a Group A and a Group B. Group A specimens were instrumented with SSPI and Group B with circumferential fixation. Biomechanical characteristics including range of motion (ROM) and load-displacement curves were recorded for the intact and instrumented specimens using Universal Testing Device and stereophotogrammetry.

RESULTS
In Group A, ROM in flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and axial rotation was reduced by 46.9%, 52%, 49.3%, and 45.5%, respectively, compared with 58.1%, 46.5%, 66.6%, and 32.6% in Group B. Stiffness of the construct was increased by 77.8%, 59.8%, 67.8%, and 258.9% in flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and axial rotation, respectively, in Group A compared with 80.6%, 56.1%, 82.6%, and 121.2% in Group B; no statistical difference between the two groups was observed.

CONCLUSIONS
SSPI has comparable stiffness to that of circumferential fixation.
