Equilibrium Innovation Ecosystems: The Dark Side of Collaborating with Complementors
Authors: Mantovani Andrea , Ruiz-Aliseda Francisco 
Published: July 2015

We provide a rationale for the recent burst in the amount of collaborative activities among firms selling complementary products, highlighting factors that may result in a lower profitability for such firms overall. To this end, we examine a game-theoretic model in which firms can collaborate with producers of complementary goods to enhance the quality of the systems formed by their components. Collaboration makes it cheaper to enhance such quality, so building innovation ecosystems results in firms investing more than if collaboration were impossible. In markets reaching saturation, firms are trapped in a prisoner’s dilemma: the greater investments create more value, but this does not translate into greater value capture because the value created relative to competitors does not change. We also examine the (dis)advantages for a firm of having open or closed interfaces for the component it sells when the environment is competitive as well as how this is related to the endogenous emergence of two-sided platforms.This paper was accepted by Bruno Cassiman, business strategy.
Expanding Horizons for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Authors: Rolph Rachel , Waltham Matthew , Smith Alberto , Kuivaniemi Helena 
Published: July 2015

AbstractRecent technological advances have allowed researchers to interrogate the genetic basis of abdominal aortic aneurysms in great detail. The results from these studies are expected to transform our understanding of this complex disease with both multiple genetic and environmental risk factors. Clinicians need to keep abreast of these genetic findings and understand the implications for their practice. Patients will become increasingly informed on genetic risk, and a new era of individualized risk assessment for AAA is just beginning. This brief update aims to provide the clinician with a succinct précis of the recent progress in this area.
Application of the Bolton Relay Device for Thoracic Endografting In or Near the Aortic Arch
Authors: Riambau Vincent 
Published: July 2015

AbstractEndovascular correction of aortic arch pathology remains a challenge, with a variety of techniques proposed over the years to minimize complications and enhance the probability of a successful result. A variety of approaches have been developed in order to deal with the aortic arch pathology and its idiosyncrasies. We review potential interventional techniques for the repair of aortic arch pathologies, beginning with conventional aortic arch surgery, followed by hybrid treatments and those along the endovascular spectrum (parallel and fenestrated endografts, scalloped endografts, and ascending and new branched endografts). We finish with an overview of all the Bolton Medical (Barcelona, Spain and Sunrise, FL, USA) thoracic platforms. Endovascular techniques show acceptable results in selected cases. Both proximal Bolton Relay configurations (with and without a bare stent) offer conformability and accuracy on deployment with very low rates of stroke. Fenestrated and scalloped designs are also useful for selected cases. Ascending and branched Bolton devices are very promising platforms for a serious, full endovascular approach to the aorta.
Ruptured Pneumococcal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Authors: Guo Xiaoyue , Bonde Pramod 
Published: July 2015

AbstractRuptured mycotic aneurysms occur infrequently in current clinical practice, and a pneumococcal etiology is even more rare. This case report describes a patient who initially presented with catheter lab activation for an acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction, receiving a full Plavix load. She was subsequently found to have a ruptured aortic aneurysm and underwent emergency surgical repair, with intraoperative findings of an aorta seeded with Streptococcus pneumonia. A retrospective evaluation of her history revealed clues of a previous upper respiratory infection and long-standing back pain. The subsequent literature review summarizes presentations and outcomes in previously reported, ruptured pneumococcal aneurysms and describes the relatively common occurrence of aortic conditions masquerading as acute myocardial infarctions. We provide recommendations to help approach similar situations in the future.
Meaning-making through transformative learning for HCA education
Authors: Hayes Catherine 
Published: July 2015

This article provides an overview of the impact of transformative learning and how as a teaching strategy for HCAs it can enable mechanisms of self-reflection and critical introspection via means other than written reports, such as metaphors, storytelling, the exploration of life histories and their direct involvement in social action. By exploring the seminal theory of Mezirow, transformative education is framed as a mechanism of educating students that reproduces the ambiguity, and uncertainty they will face in everyday healthcare practice. Discussion around the tensions between objectivity and affective engagement explores the processes by which students consciously reframe their thinking. The article ends with an insight into a small-scale research project on metaphors as a mechanism of visually stimulating self-expression. The value of transformative learning is contextualised, amid recommendations from the Cavendish Review (2013) and the Frances Report (2013) . The new regulatory framework for HCA education provides an ideal foundation for the development of the notion of meaning-making in education. The article also provides an overview of how staff can best facilitate transformative education in practice.
Changing the way we think about character change in episodic television series
Authors: O’Meara Radha 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
Regular characters in episodic television series do not change, develop or transform. At least this is the way these characters are commonly understood. In television series, the plot focuses on episodic adventures, and the core cast of characters are seen as fairly rigid actants that facilitate those adventures. These apparently static characters of television series are generally understood in contrast to characters in television serials, who do transform over the course of episodes, seasons and years. This view can be found readily in popular discourse as well as writing manuals and scholarly treatises. But there is more to character change in television series. We can also see how characters in television series do change in different ways, displayed chiefly through character action and plot structure. Three kinds of character change on-screen are identified in this article: experiencing significant life events; expressing intense emotions, and displaying contrasting behaviours. Textual analysis of popular crime dramas and sitcoms demonstrates how characters in television series do change continually.

Numerical analysis of thermal stresses in a new design of microtubular stack
Authors: Pianko-Oprych Paulina , Zinko Tomasz , Jaworski Zdzisław 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
Microtubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (mSOFCs)
are one of the most promising and efficient devices
that convert chemical energy of fuels into electrical
energy. However, mSOFC stacks work at high operating
temperature over 650°C, which leads to thermally
induced mechanical stresses and in consequence may
cause failure of stack components. In order to reduce the
local thermal gradients and prevent high stresses in the
stack components, it is desirable to study the effect of
stack design on its performance. For this purpose a 3D
numerical approach was developed to estimate thermal
expansion of fuel cell inside an mSOFC stack and to reduce
the associated experimental efforts and costs. Initially,
a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model was used
to calculate the temperature and species concentration
profiles. During the second modeling step temperature
profiles were used in the thermo-mechanical model to
calculate the thermal stress distribution in the mSOFC
stack. The results maximum thermal axial elongation
that equals 1.4 mm for the mSOFC stack. The modelled
maximum radial elongation was equal to 0.5 mm in the
contact areas of the cylindrical housing and manifolds on
the fuel inlet side.
Struvite recovery from solution containing phosphate(V) and sulphate(VI) ions

Published: July 2015

Abstract
The research results concerning the application of magnesium and ammonium ions for continuous removal of phosphate(V) ions from solution containing 1.0 or 0.20 mass% of PO4
3– and from 0.10 to 0.50 mass% of SO4
2– are presented. A continuous struvite MgNH4PO4 × 6H2O reaction crystallization process was carried out both under stoichiometric conditions and using 20% excess of magnesium ions. The research was conducted in a DT MSMPR type crystallizer with internal circulation of suspension driven by a propeller stirrer, in constant temperature 298 K. The pH varied from 9 to 11 and mean residence time of suspension in a crystallizer τ varied from 900 to 3600 s. It was concluded, that sulphate(VI) ions influenced product quality disadvantageously. Depending on process parameter combinations struvite crystals of mean size from ca. 18 to ca. 44 μm and of moderate homogeneity: CV 7–95% were produced. Presence of sulphate(VI) ions favored crystallization of struvite as prismatic crystals, but tubular forms were also identified. The best shaped struvite crystals were produced at relatively low concentration of sulphate(VI) ions, pH 9 and for mean residence time of suspension in a crystallizer elongated up to 3600 s.
Effective bounds of linear series
on algebraic varieties and arithmetic varieties
Authors: Yuan Xinyi , Zhang Tong 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
In this paper, we prove effective upper bounds for effective sections of line bundles on projective varieties and hermitian line bundles on arithmetic varieties in terms of the volumes. They are effective versions of the Hilbert–Samuel formula and the arithmetic Hilbert–Samuel formula. The treatments are high-dimensional generalizations of [25] and [26]. Similar results are obtained independently by Huayi Chen [7] with less explicit error terms.
Die Grenzen der Informationsbeschaffung, -transfer und -verarbeitung in der deutschen Wehr- und Kriegswirtschaftsverwaltung im Dritten Reich
Authors: Scherner Jonas 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
During World War II an increasing share of the industrial output of Germany and the Nazi-ruled European economies was converted for use in the German war effort. In order to steer this conversion, information gathering and processing were crucial. This paper examines the institutions and instruments of the German system of information gathering and processing and tries to identify its successes and failures. It will be shown that the origins of the system stemmed predominately from specific bottlenecks Germany faced during the pre-war period, which necessitated a more active role of the state given the aims of the Nazi regime. The ad-hoc character of some of the measures implemented in order to improve the information basis of the German economic administration produced a system which was ill-coordinated and incomplete. During the war, the information needs further increased and several reforms considerably improved the information basis of the state. Nevertheless, some fundamental problems stemming from the private-property based economic order in Germany and the specific industrial structure remained unresolved even after Speer had become armaments minister.
Knowledge Transfer in the Industrial Age: The Case of Gutehoffnungshütte, 1810-1945
Authors: Banken Ralf , Marx Christian 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
The question about how companies solved their existing information and knowledge problems is rarely examined for companies of the 19th and 20th century. Therefore the following contribution takes a closer look at the methods used by Gutehoffnungshütte in this period for obtaining the relevant information and how it ensured that the information would reach the particularly targeted employee. This case study of one of the most important pioneers of the German industrialization shows that the company’s management used different methods (bureaucratisation, reports, meetings etc.) which developed only slowly in an evolutionary and implicit way because knowledge basically remained bound to certain persons until 1914. After the First World War, the company grew enormously under the leadership of the new chairman of the executive board Paul Reusch, who created a management-by-letter system that provided him with a lot of information and a monopoly on power until his dismissal during the Second World War.
Transfer of Information within Organizations – First Results
Authors: Schröter Harm G. 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
A first overview on the usefulness of systems of information transfer for business history is provided, taking into account the contributions of this volume as well as others. The confrontation of empirical information and theory was useful to a certain extent, while it showed little progress in a couple of other cases. Within such systems of information transfer, trust, author and cultural knowledge play a significant role, which helps explain management results. Their degree can explain success and failure, though not in a linear way. The human factor plays an overriding part only in exceptional cases where an extremely strong personality represents the top of an organization, otherwise structural factor prevail. Since there is no taxonomy it is difficult though not impossible to evaluate the quality and usefulness of a specific system of information. There is some indication that organizations which are exposed to competition make better use of their systems than non-competitive organizations.
Pfadabhängigkeiten internationaler Infrastrukturnetze
Authors: Ambrosius Gerold , Franke Christian Henrich 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
Since the 19th century, the development of international networks of infrastructure has been characterized by a stronger path dependency than national networks. This article discusses the reasons and concludes that various economic and technical factors as well as political and organizational causes were responsible. The interdependencies between national and international standards had the greatest influence: standards within the international framework opened up corridors for national specifications. These specifications themselves complicated the consequent change of standards at the national level. Furthermore, the mutual influence and stabilization of economic and technical as of political and organizational arrangements were important. In the light of the general qualities of networks, potential mechanisms for self-stabilization will be discussed first. In a second step, historical examples from the railways, telecommunication and broadcasting will be explored. Finally, general hypotheses about the path dependency of international infrastructure networks will be proposed
Balancing the Tension Between Hyperoxia Prevention and Alarm Fatigue in the NICU
Authors: Ketko Anastasia K. , Martin Craig M. , Nemshak Michelle A. , Niedner Matthew , Vartanian Rebecca J. 
Published: July 2015

BACKGROUND:
After the implementation of narrowed oxygen saturation alarms, alarm frequency increased in the C.S. Mott Children's Hospital NICU which could have a negative impact on patient safety. The Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations issued a Sentinel Event Alert for hospitals in 2013 to improve alarm safety, resulting in a 2014 National Patient Safety Goal requiring institutional policies and procedures to be in place to manage alarms.

METHODS:
A multidisciplinary improvement team developed an alarm management bundle applying strategies to decrease alarm frequency, which included evaluating existing strategies and developing patient care–based and systems-based interventions. The total number of delivered and detected saturation alarms and high saturation alarms and the total time spent within a targeted saturation range were quantitatively tracked. Nursing morale was assessed qualitatively.

RESULTS:
SpO2 alarms per monitored patient-day increased from 78 to 105 after the narrowing of alarm limits. Modification of the high saturation alarm algorithm substantially decreased the delivery and escalation of high pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) alarms. During a pilot period, using histogram technology to individually customize alarm limits resulted in increased time spent within the targeted saturation range and fewer alarms per day. Qualitatively, nurses reported improved satisfaction when not assigned &gt;1 infant with frequent alarms, as identified by an alarm frequency tool.

CONCLUSIONS:
Alarm fatigue may detrimentally affect patient care and safety. Alarm management strategies should coincide with oxygen management within a NICU, especially in single-patient-bed units.
Trends in Hospitalization for Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension
Authors: Maxwell Bryan G. , Nies Melanie K. , Ajuba-Iwuji Chinwe C. , Coulson John D. , Romer Lewis H. 
Published: July 2015

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) has been associated with substantial morbidity and mortality in children, but existing analyses of inpatient care are limited to small single-institution series or focused registries representative of selected patient subgroups. We examined US national data on pediatric PH hospitalizations to determine trends in volume, demographics, procedures performed during admission, and resource utilization.

METHODS:
Retrospective cohort study using a national administrative database of pediatric hospital discharges: the Kids’ Inpatient Database.

RESULTS:
Children with PH accounted for 0.13% of the 43 million pediatric hospitalizations in the United States between 1997 and 2012, and discharges demonstrated an increasing trend over the study period (P &lt; .0001). Cumulative, inflation-adjusted national hospital charges for PH hospitalizations rose (P = .0003) from $926 million in 1997 to $3.12 billion in 2012. Patients with PH without associated congenital heart disease (CHD) comprised an increasing and majority (56.4%) proportion over the study period (P &lt; .0001), children without associated CHD admitted at urban teaching hospitals comprised the fastest-growing subgroup. In-hospital, all-cause mortality was high (5.9%) in children with PH, but demonstrated a decreasing trend (P &lt; .0001).

CONCLUSIONS:
Morbidity and mortality of pediatric PH continue to represent substantial and growing health care burdens. Shifts in case mix toward PH not associated with CHD, toward noncardiac procedures, and toward care in urban teaching hospitals will increase pressure to manage resource utilization in this small but growing patient group and to improve expertise and define excellence in PH care across a wide range of clinical settings.
Integrating a Parenting Intervention With Routine Primary Health Care: A Cluster Randomized Trial
Authors: Chang Susan M. , Grantham-McGregor Sally M. , Powell Christine A. , Vera-Hernández Marcos , Lopez-Boo Florencia , Baker-Henningham Helen , Walker Susan P. 
Published: July 2015

OBJECTIVE:
More than 200 million children globally do not attain their developmental potential. We hypothesized that a parent training program could be integrated into primary health center visits and benefit child development.

METHODS:
We conducted a cluster randomized trial in the Caribbean (Jamaica, Antigua, and St Lucia). Fifteen centers were randomly assigned to the control (n = 250 mother-child pairs) and 14 to the intervention (n = 251 mother-child pairs) groups. Participants were recruited at the 6- to 8-week child health visit. The intervention used group delivery at 5 routine visits from age 3 to 18 months and comprised short films of child development messages, which were shown in the waiting area; discussion and demonstration led by community health workers; and mothers’ practice of activities. Nurses distributed message cards and a few play materials. Primary outcomes were child cognition, language, and hand-eye coordination and secondary outcomes were caregiver knowledge, practices, maternal depression, and child growth, measured after the 18-month visit.

RESULTS:
Eight-five percent of enrolled children were tested (control = 210, intervention = 216). Loss did not differ by group. Multilevel analyses showed significant benefits for cognitive development (3.09 points; 95% confidence interval: 1.31 to 4.87 points; effect size: 0.3 SDs). There were no other child benefits. There was a significant benefit to parenting knowledge (treatment effect: 1.59; 95% confidence interval: 1.01 to 2.17; effect size: 0.4).

CONCLUSIONS:
An innovative parenting intervention, requiring no additional clinic staff or mothers’ time, was integrated into health services, with benefits to child cognitive development and parent knowledge. This is a promising strategy that merits further evaluation at scale.
