A review of “A New Vision of Value” – old wine, new bottle
Authors: Barter Nick 
Published: October 2016

Purpose
This paper is a review of KPMG’s true value methodology. It highlights how a positive for the methodology is its advance of a systemic perspective, with the challenge being its furthering of an agenda of corporate centricity, where money is the mediator for societal decisions.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper draws on existing literature to develop its arguments.

Findings
The paper highlights how the true value methodology has merit for furthering a move towards the embrace of a more systemic thinking by business leaders; for example, how organisations are nested in society, not separate from society. However, the methodology is a cause for concern, because, for “true value” (ibid, p. 3) to be identified, albeit the notion of true value is one that stuns with its hubris, there is a need to monetise all exchanges and have corporations make societal well-being decisions based on monetary calculations as opposed to moral or ethical considerations. Thus, the methodology is advancing a corporate centric and narrowly defined perspective on what constitutes societal progress.

Research limitations/implications
This paper is a review of the methodology with some critique and implications for management, leadership and culture discussed.

Practical implications
The arguments presented highlight how the methodology furthers a particular perspective, and thus it should, like all tools, be used with an understanding of its limitations.

Social implications
A key social implication brought forward in the paper is a corporate-centric perspective on societal progress. This corporate-centric perspective ensures that although a more systemic perspective is taken, society is viewed as a little more than a servant of the corporation.

Originality/value
In drawing on existing literature, the originality lies in the combination of arguments brought together to realise the central claims.
From Occupation to Recuperation: Property, Politics and Provincialization in Contemporary Madrid
Authors: Gonick Sophie 
Published: October 2016

AbstractRecent debates have once again engaged with the substance and meaning of urban politics within our increasingly complex and startling contemporary landscapes. Yet these debates, while giving nods in the direction of feminist and postcolonial scholarship, largely work through traditional lenses of class, labor and the dynamic workings of neoliberal capitalism. In this article, I focus on spaces of difference and their engagement with the urban to demonstrate how politics ‘happens' in locations often left off the map of both scholarship and popular imaginaries, and, crucially, how those locations can, in fact, illuminate shifting political arrangements elided by other methodologies. By juxtaposing European okupa debates with postcolonial discussions of urban informality, I trace what I argue is a new iteration of squatting within a city both ravaged by edicts of neoliberal austerity and buoyed by the efflorescence of social movements and alternative political projects. I then explicate the role of property in constituting the urban within Spain, using the concept of ‘provincialization'. In doing so, I think relationally between systems of property and emergent forms of insurgency to argue that we are witnessing an anticipatory politics that fundamentally challenges hegemonic relationships between everyday citizens and regimes of property ownership.
Continuity, change and complexity in the performance of masculinity among elite young footballers in England
Authors: Roberts Steven , Anderson Eric , Magrath Rory 
Published: October 2016

AbstractFollowing recent research evidencing that young men are redefining the essential components of what it is to be a man, this paper draws on qualitative interviews with 22 elite‐level, English Premier League academy level football (soccer) players to investigate their performances and understandings of masculinity in relation to decreasing homohysteria. Even in this gender‐segregated, near‐total institution, these working‐class, non‐educationally aspiring adolescents evidence an attenuated performance of ‘maleness’ and improved attitudinal disposition toward homosexuality. Congruent with insights developed by inclusive masculinity scholars, respondents maintained emotional closeness and physical tactility with male teammates and friends. These more inclusive attitudes and homosocial behaviours were, however, slightly more conservative than in other recent research. We close by explaining this variation with reference to theoretical apparatus’ provided by Goffman and Bourdieu to advance theoretical debates about social class and masculinities.
Nutritional and phytochemical value of Brassica crops from the agri‐food perspective

Published: October 2016

AbstractBrassica foods are among the top 10 economic crops in the world (i.e. broccoli, kale, cauliflower and Chinese cabbage). These vegetables have been identified as important components of a healthy diet because of their high levels of nutrients and health‐promoting phytochemicals (i.e. phenolics, glucosinolates, vitamins and minerals). Epidemiological studies have shown that increased consumption of Brassica foods is strongly associated with a reduced risk of degenerative diseases, cancer, cardiovascular disease and immune dysfunction. Nevertheless, the nutritional content and profile in Brassica vegetables have been reported to vary considerably during the growth period due to agronomical factors including light, temperature, water availability and soil fertility among others. Moreover, the conditions of postharvest processing and cooking are also important factors on food quality. A better understanding of specific preharvest and postharvest conditions is essential to improve cultivars with value‐added nutritional quality. Thus, in this article are going to be addressed the effects of the most common crop management strategies and processes on the variation of nutritive compounds present within Brassica from the agri‐food perspective.
Number sense in the transition from natural to rational numbers
Authors: Van Hoof Jo , Verschaffel Lieven , Van Dooren Wim 
Published: October 2016

BackgroundRational numbers are of critical importance both in mathematics and in other fields of science. However, they form a stumbling block for learners. One widely known source of the difficulty learners have with rational numbers is the natural number bias, that is the tendency to (inappropriately) apply natural number properties in rational number tasks. Still, it has been shown that a good understanding of natural numbers is highly predictive for mathematics achievement in general, and for performance on rational number tasks in particular.AimsIn this study, we further investigated the relation between learners' natural and rational number knowledge, specifically in cases where a natural number bias may lead to errors.SampleParticipants were 140 sixth graders from six different primary schools.MethodParticipants completed a symbolic and a non‐symbolic natural number comparison task, a number line estimation task, and a rational number sense test.ResultsLearners' natural number knowledge was found to be a good predictor of their rational number knowledge. However, after first controlling for learners' general mathematics achievement, their natural number knowledge only predicted the subaspect of operations with rational numbers.ConclusionThe results of this study suggest that the relation between learners' natural and rational number knowledge can largely be explained by their relation with learners' general mathematics achievement.

SummaryLimited therapies exist for patients with refractory and relapsed (RR) higher‐risk myelodysplastic syndromes (HR‐MDS) and acute myeloid leukaemia with trilineage dysplasia (AML‐TD). High dose (HD) lenalidomide (50 mg) has activity as frontline therapy in elderly AML but there is limited data in the RR setting. This phase II trial included patients with RR HR‐MDS or AML‐TD at 2 doses of lenalidomide (15 or 50 mg) on days 1–28 of 42‐day cycles. The primary endpoint was response rate using the 2006 International Working Group criteria. Overall survival (OS) was estimated by Kaplan–Meier methods. Of 27 patients enrolled, 59% had HR‐MDS and 31% AML‐TD. No patient had isolated del5q; 41% had poor‐risk karyotype. Of 9 patients treated at 15 mg, 56% completed ≥2 cycles with no responses. Of 18 patients treated at 50 mg, 39% completed ≥2 cycles and 11% responded but all experienced grade 3/4 neutropenic fever/infection. The 60‐day mortality rate was 30%. Median OS was 114 days with 19% surviving ≥1 year. The study was terminated due to lack of robust clinical activity. In conclusion, lenalidomide at 15 mg is ineffective in RR myeloid malignancies. Continous high dosing schedules are poorly tolerated and minimally active. Further evaluation should be considered in upfront intensive chemotherapy‐ineligible patients.

Published: October 2016

ObjectiveTo assess the general public's understanding of urologists and of the Urological Society of Australian and New Zealand (USANZ) and gauge the effectiveness with which theUSANZdisseminates health information about urological conditions to health consumers.Subjects and MethodsUsing prostate cancer as an example, a Qualtrics online market survey of Australian healthcare consumers recruited from an online pool was conducted. The number of districts sampled within each state or territory was proportional to the size of the target population within each region and were proportionately distributed across metropolitan and non‐metropolitan areas. Demographic characteristics were comparable with the Australian Bureau of Statistics Census figures corresponding to the target age group. The survey assessed knowledge of the roles of medical specialties through open‐ended responses to qualitative items, association tasks, and recall/recognition questions. Subjects were asked to rate their familiarity of medical specialists and of six medical specialty logos.ResultsThere were 302 respondents. Subjects indicated less awareness of urology vs other medical specialties, were relatively unaware that urologists were concerned with the prostate, and theUSANZbranding was among the least familiar (P< 0.001, Friedman test). When asked the first medical specialist that came to mind when told of prostate cancer, only 22% wrote urologist.ConclusionThe general public has a limited understanding of urologists and of theUSANZ. Sub‐brand names that explicitly link urologists to urological conditions, has been suggested as a means to increase the public's understanding of urologists and of theUSANZ, and improve theUSANZ's ability to promulgate urological health information.
Commodity prices and related equity prices
Authors: Chen Shiu‐Sheng 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThis paper shows that commodity‐sensitive stock price indices have strong power in predicting nominal and real commodity prices at short horizons (one‐month‐ahead predictions) using both in‐ and out‐of‐sample tests. The forecasts based on commodity‐sensitive stock price indices are able to significantly outperform naïve no‐change forecasts. For example, the one‐month‐ahead forecasts for nominal commodity prices reduce the mean squared prediction error by between 1.5% (for natural gas prices) and 20% (for copper prices). Moreover, the one‐month‐ahead directional forecast is found to perform significantly better than a 50:50 coin toss. As stock prices are not subject to revision, the proposed variable, which reflects timely and readily available market information, can potentially be a valuable predictor and thereby help to improve the accuracy of commodity price forecasts.
Feeding behavior of Diaphorina citri and its transmission of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ to citrus

AbstractHuanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening, is currently the most destructive disease of citrus, responsible for huge economic losses in the world's major citrus production areas. The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae), transmits ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (Clas), the pathogen responsible to cause HLB. Understanding of vector, pathogen, and host plant interactions is important for the management of this vector‐disease complex. We used the direct‐current electrical penetration graph (DC‐EPG) system to evaluate feeding behavior of Clas‐infected D. citri adults, and their potential to transmit the pathogen to healthy citrus, Citrus reticulata Blanco cv. Sunki (Rutaceae), following a 24‐h inoculation access period. Plants were tested for the presence of Clas by qPCR 6 months after inoculation. Findings suggest that inoculation was associated with salivation into the phloem sieve elements (waveform E1). The minimum feeding time for successful transmission by a single adult was 88.8 min, with a minimum E1 duration of 5.1 min. Regression analysis indicated a significant relationship between E1 duration and transmission efficiency. The adults successful in transmitting Clas to healthy citrus were able to penetrate and feed in the phloem much earlier than those which did not transmit. The minimum duration of E1 for a female was shorter than that of a male, but transmission was higher. However, durations of other EPG parameters were not significantly different between male and female. Feeding by single Clas‐infected D. citri adults on 6‐month‐old plants (Sunki) resulted in 23% HLB‐positive plants 6 months after inoculation. Multiple nymphs or adults could transmit the pathogen more efficiently than individual adults in the field, and further enhance the severity of the disease. Effective tactics are warranted to control D. citri and disrupt transmission of Clas.
Sources of plant resistance to thrips: a potential core component in cotton IPM
Authors: Miyazaki Junji , Stiller Warwick N. , Wilson Lewis J. 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) are important pests of seedling cotton and their damage can delay crop maturity and/or reduce yield. Plant resistance to thrips in cotton would reduce the need to treat crops with insecticides for their control. This would support integrated pest management strategies by reducing the risk of selecting insecticide resistance in concomitant pests and of disrupting the natural enemy complex. Traits that reduce thrips abundance in cotton are poorly understood, but dense leaf hairs and high gossypol content are implicated to negatively affect thrips. Furthermore, some diploid cottons are resistant against thrips. Thrips abundance and damage on a range of Gossypium (Malvaceae) genotypes including hairy leaf, smooth leaf (glabrous), okra leaf shape, and diploid species was evaluated over four crop seasons. Thrips were significantly less abundant and they caused less damage on diploid cotton genotypes from Gossypium arboreum L. (BM13H, Roseum A256), Gossypium thurberi Tod. (GOS5310), and Gossypium trilobum (Moc. & Sess. ex DC.) Skov. (GOS5332) than on the standard commercial Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Sicot 71. There was no significant relationship between thrips abundance or damage and leaf hairiness, leaf hardness, or leaf shape, though conclusions about the value of these traits must be made cautiously as they are confounded across genotypes that differ in a range of traits simultaneously. The diploid cottons had a lower damage per thrips ratio, indicating that they are more tolerant of thrips feeding damage and thus could be valuable sources of host plant resistance to thrips.

Published: October 2016

AbstractBiological activity of the bacteriumBacillus thuringiensisBerliner (Bt) against insect pests is influenced by the host plants. To understand the underlying mechanism of variation in biological activity of Bt on host plants, we studied the effect of chemicals from the surface of chickpea (Cicer arietinumL.,Fabaceae) leaves (ICCC37 andICC506EB), sorghum [Sorghum bicolor(L.)Moench,Poaceae] grain (ICSV745 andIS18698), pigeon pea [Cajanus cajan(L.) Millsp.,Fabaceae] pods (ICPL87 andICPL332WR), and cotton (Gossypium hirsutumL.,Malvaceae) squares (RCH2 and BtRCH2), on whichHelicoverpa armigera(Hübner) (Lepidoptera:Noctuidae) feeds under natural conditions. Surface chemicals extracted in water from host plant leaves were added to the standard artificial diet containing a commercial formulation of Bt or Cry1Ac. Data were recorded on larval and pupal weights, pupation, adult emergence, larval and pupal periods, adult longevity, and fecundity. Weights ofH. armigeraat 5 days after initiation of the experiment were significantly reduced on artificial diets containing Bt + pod washings ofICPL87 andICPL332WR, grain washings ofICSV745, or square washings ofRCH2, and Cry1Ac + leaf‐surface washings ofICC506EB. Pupal weights were lower on diets containing leaf‐surface washings ofICCC37 + Bt than on standard artificial diet. Larval periods were prolonged on diets containing Bt + leaf‐surface washings ofICCC37, pod washings ofICPL87, and square washings ofRCH2, and on standard artificial diet + Cry1Ac. Pupation was significantly higher on standard artificial diet + Cry1Ac than on diets with Bt + grain washings ofICSV745 and Cry1Ac + square washings ofRCH2 and BtRCH2. Adult emergence was lowest on diets with square washings ofRCH2 + Bt and grain washings ofICSV745 + Cry1Ac. The results suggested that leaf‐surface washings play an important role in biological activity of Bt/Cry1Ac againstH. armigera.

An updated checklist of the scale insects recorded from French Guiana (French overseas department) is given. This list has been collated from data from 6 different sources: ScaleNet, the EPPO Global Database, the Catalogue des insectes ravageurs des cultures en Guyane Française (Remillet, 1988), MNHN in Paris, LSV in Montpellier and a survey carried out by Direction de l'Alimentation, de l'Agriculture et de la Forêt de Guyane, Service de l'Alimentation (DAAF‐SALIM). Previously, 29 species were recorded from French Guiana by ScaleNet, but the updated list presented in this paper includes a total of 64 species. The 35 species added belong to 7 families: 1 Cerococcidae, 9 Coccidae, 14 Diaspididae, 1 Eriococcidae, 1 Monophlebidae, 2 Ortheziidae and 7 Pseudococcidae.
Exploiting the innate behaviour of common carp, Cyprinus carpio, to limit invasion and spawning in wetlands of the River Murray, Australia

Published: October 2016

AbstractCommon carp, Cyprinus carpio L., a destructive invasive pest of the Murray–Darling Basin, Australia, move from rivers into wetlands to spawn, making them vulnerable to trapping, but traps may also capture and affect access for native species. This study trialled a trap designed to separate carp from native fish entering wetlands by exploiting their different jumping and pushing behaviours. Trials were conducted at a flow‐through wetland on the River Murray, South Australia, from June to October 2008. No carp approached the wetland inlet, but many (n = 3736) were sampled at the outlet, most by the trap (n = 2530), but there was some avoidance. Ninety‐two percent of trapped carp were successfully isolated by jumping or pushing. Separation was most efficient (and avoidance least) when carp were ready to spawn (water temperature >16 °C). The outlet design substantially reduced wetland carp invasion, but more trials are needed to assess the pushing ability of native fish, to deter entry by turtles, and with alternatives for wetland inlets.
Increased electrical conductivity and the mechanism of samarium‐doped ceria/Al2O3 nanocomposite electrolyte

Published: October 2016

AbstractTo further enhance the electrical conductivity of doped ceria, the samarium‐doped ceria (SDC)/Al2O3 nanocomposites were prepared through sintering the coprecipitated powders in 1100°C‐1300°C. The grain sizes of all composites are less than 100 nm and decrease with alumina addition. Besides the main phases of SDC and Al2O3, the SmAlO3 can precipitate in the composites if sintered at higher temperatures or for longer dwell time. The deviations of SDC diffraction peak positions demonstrate the solid solution of alumina into SDC lattice. The total electrical conductivities of the composites increase with alumina content until 30% alumina is added. The SDC/30%Al2O3 presents the higher total conductivity than the pure SDC by about five times. Specifically, the grain interior conductivity generally decreases with the alumina addition while the grain‐boundary conductivity increases with that. The introduction of the conductive SDC/Al2O3 interface can contribute to the rise of total conductivity, yet the excessive alumina addition also blocks the oxygen ion conduction. The SmAlO3 precipitation is detrimental to the ion conduction for it consumes part of alumina and leads to the decrement in Sm concentration of SDC grain. Appropriate alumina addition not only enhances the conductivity of SDC but also lowers the material cost.
A critical analysis of the failure of nurses to raise concerns about poor patient care
Authors: Roberts Marc 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThe occurrence of poor patient care is emerging as one of the most significant, challenging, and critical issues confronting contemporary nursing and those responsible for the provision of health care more generally. Indeed, as a consequence of the increased recognition of the manner in which nurses can be implicated in the occurrence of poor patient care, there has been sustained critical debate that seeks to understand how such healthcare failings can occur and, in particular, why nurses seemingly fail to intervene, raise concerns, and effectively respond to prevent the occurrence and continuation of such poor patient care. In seeking to contribute to this critical discussion, and in contrast to those “situational explanations” that maintain that the failure to raise concerns is a consequence of the contextual factors and challenging conditions to which nurses can be subject in the clinical setting, this paper will provide a resolutely philosophical analysis of that failure. In particular, it will draw upon the work of Jean‐Paul Sartre—the French philosopher generally regarded as one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century—in order to propose that his work can be productively recontextualized to provide a detailed, challenging, and provocative critical analysis of the occurrence and continuation of poor patient care and the role of individual nurse practitioners in such healthcare failings.
