Standortfaktor Gesundheit – der Beitrag des ÖGD
Authors: Schmolz Günter 
Published: October 2014

Einleitung
Der Begriff Standortfaktor ist in der Wirtschaftsgeografie geläufig und bezeichnet eine definierte standortspezifische Eigenschaft, die für ein Unternehmen oder eine Einzelperson bei der Standortwahl relevant sein kann. Aktuell wird folgende Unterscheidung zwischen weichen und harten Standortfaktoren vorgenommen: Steuern, Bildungssysteme, Infrastruktur, Absatzmärkte u.v.a. gelten als harte, Innerstadtattraktivität, physisches Klima, Wohnwert und soziale Kohärenz als wichtige weiche Standortfaktoren; Gesundheit wird selten genannt, am ehesten noch als Qualität medizinischer Dienstleistungen. Entscheidende Impulse gehen auch vom Gesunde Städte-Netzwerk aus. Es wird immer deutlicher, dass Kommunen, d.h. Stadt- und Landkreise, Städte, Gemeinden, Stadtteile und Quartiere, diejenigen Sozialräume bilden, in denen Gesundheit gut aufgehoben ist. Hier muss der ÖGD initiierend, konzeptionell und koordinierend tätig werden. Dies soll auch mit einer staatlichen Initiative in Baden-Württemberg geschehen.
The Return of Civilization—and of Arnold Toynbee?
Authors: Kumar Krishan 
Published: October 2014

AbstractAfter a period of neglect, civilization as a concept seems once more to have regained popularity among a number of historians and social scientists. Why? What is the appeal of civilization today? And might the return of civilization also herald a return to the work of Arnold Toynbee, once regarded as the towering figure of civilizational analysis? This paper considers the history of the concept of civilization, and argues for the continuing importance and relevance of Toynbee's multi-volumeA Study of Historywithin that tradition. The claim is that, whatever the weaknesses of Toynbee's general approach, the civilizational perspective he adopts allows him to cast an illuminating light on many important historical questions. Moreover his belief in the “philosophical contemporaneity” and equal value of all civilizations should make him peculiarly attractive to those many today who reject Eurocentrism and who are increasingly persuaded of the need to consider the total human experience from earliest times up to the present.
“I serve therefore I am”: Youth and Generative Politics in India
Authors: Jeffrey Craig , Dyson Jane 
Published: October 2014

AbstractThis paper uses qualitative research in Uttarakhand, India to highlight the vitality of civil society and the involvement of young people in everyday “civic” politics. Much recent academic literature emphasizes the ubiquity of narrowly self-interested patronage politics in South Asia, Africa, and Latin America, as captured in the saying sometimes attributed to politicians in Cameroon: “I graze therefore I am.” But in specific moments or conjunctures, more “civic” forms of politics come to light, perhaps especially among youth. Building on intensive, qualitative field research, we show that a new generation of educated, underemployed youth in the village of Bemni serve their community in key ways. They also make strong arguments about the nature of “politics” and how it might be re-imagined as “generative”—concerned with building resources—rather than “allocative”—a zero-sum game of competition for power. We draw attention to the potentials of this practice and discourse of politics as well as its limits, particularly that it is dominated by young men and tends to reproduce caste and gender inequalities. We also call for more concerted study of youth community activism in contexts of predatory clientelism.
Mourning the Archive: Middle Eastern Photographic Heritage between Neoliberalism and Digital Reproduction
Authors: Ryzova Lucie 
Published: October 2014

AbstractThe past decade and a half have seen the founding of new archival initiatives in the Middle East devoted to collecting and preserving photographs. This article examines critically the constitution of photographic heritage in the region ethnographically and historically. I look first at how historical photographs are understood in Egypt by their custodians old and new. Publics and institutions overwhelmingly see photographs as “images of something,” and appreciate them for their visual content rather than as social and cultural objects. This facilitates their transfer from public collections into private hands in Egypt and abroad. I examine in detail key actors currently involved in shaping photographic heritage: the Library of Alexandria in Egypt, the Arab Image Foundation in Beirut, and private collectors in Egypt. I look at how these actors assign value to historical photographs in their custody and their strategies for collecting and curating them. They often define their actions negatively, “against others,” historically against a state that they believe has failed to care for national heritage. Yet these very actors, and their rivals, often perpetuate such narratives and associated fears. Two models of photographic heritage-making are currently emerging in the region: a “digital” model that destroys artifacts in order to produce data, and a model of private cultural institutions that provide unclear and selective access to their collections.
An efficient route scheduling mechanism for WiMAX network
Authors: Guo Ming-Huang , Deng Der-Jiunn , Liaw Horng-Twu , Park Jong Hyuk 
Published: October 2014

AbstractWiMAX was proposed as the new wireless network standard in recent years. In the wide cover area of WiMAX environment, there are many nodes and interference. In order to obtain the efficiency, the avoidance to the interference is important. In this paper, we propose a two-tier cluster-based route scheduling mechanism on WiMAX Mesh mode. It achieves both fairness and efficiency inside and outside the cluster. The simulation result shows that our mechanism provides great improvement in average delay time and throughput than other research.
Functional ultrasound imaging of intrinsic connectivity in the living rat brain with high spatiotemporal resolution
Authors: Osmanski Bruno-Félix , Pezet Sophie , Ricobaraza Ana , Lenkei Zsolt , Tanter Mickael 
Published: October 2014

AbstractLong-range coherences in spontaneous brain activity reflect functional connectivity. Here we propose a novel, highly resolved connectivity mapping approach, using ultrafast functional ultrasound (fUS), which enables imaging of cerebral microvascular haemodynamics deep in the anaesthetized rodent brain, through a large thinned-skull cranial window, with pixel dimensions of 100 μm × 100 μm in-plane. The millisecond-range temporal resolution allows unambiguous cancellation of low-frequency cardio-respiratory noise. Both seed-based and singular value decomposition analysis of spatial coherences in the low-frequency (<0.1 Hz) spontaneous fUS signal fluctuations reproducibly report, at different coronal planes, overlapping high-contrast, intrinsic functional connectivity patterns. These patterns are similar to major functional networks described in humans by resting-state fMRI, such as the lateral task-dependent network putatively anticorrelated with the midline default-mode network. These results introduce fUS as a powerful novel neuroimaging method, which could be extended to portable systems for three-dimensional functional connectivity imaging in awake and freely moving rodents.
Role of microRNAs in cancers of the female reproductive tract: insights from recent clinical and experimental discovery studies
Authors: Logan Monica , Hawkins Shannon M. 
Published: October 2014

microRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNA molecules that represent the top of the pyramid of many tumorigenesis cascade pathways as they have the ability to affect multiple, intricate, and still undiscovered downstream targets. Understanding how miRNA molecules serve as master regulators in these important networks involved in cancer initiation and progression open up significant innovative areas for therapy and diagnosis that have been sadly lacking for deadly female reproductive tract cancers. This review will highlight the recent advances in the field of miRNAs in epithelial ovarian cancer, endometrioid endometrial cancer and squamous-cell cervical carcinoma focusing on studies associated with actual clinical information in humans. Importantly, recent miRNA profiling studies have included well-characterized clinical specimens of female reproductive tract cancers, allowing for studies correlating miRNA expression with clinical outcomes. This review will summarize the current thoughts on the role of miRNA processing in unique miRNA species present in these cancers. In addition, this review will focus on current data regarding miRNA molecules as unique biomarkers associated with clinically significant outcomes such as overall survival and chemotherapy resistance. We will also discuss why specific miRNA molecules are not recapitulated across multiple studies of the same cancer type. Although the mechanistic contributions of miRNA molecules to these clinical phenomena have been confirmed using in vitro and pre-clinical mouse model systems, these studies are truly only the beginning of our understanding of the roles miRNAs play in cancers of the female reproductive tract. This review will also highlight useful areas for future research regarding miRNAs as therapeutic targets in cancers of the female reproductive tract.

Authors: Brandl P. , Enne R. , Jukić T. , Zimmermann H. 
Published: October 2014

A novel monolithically integrated optoelectronic receiver with a 200 µm diameter, high responsivity avalanche photodiode (PD) is presented. The whole receiver was developed in a high‐voltage 0.35 µm CMOS technology. This permits high PD bias voltages and the implementation of the receiver circuitry in a single chip. With a PD bias voltage of 65 V, a high responsivity of 30 A/W has been reached at a wavelength of 675 nm. Together with a folded‐cascode transimpedance amplifier, the complete receiver achieves a sensitivity of −31.8 dBm at a data rate of 1 Gbit/s with a bit error rate of 10−9 and a pseudorandom binary sequence of 231–1.
Tug-of-war between driver and passenger mutations in cancer and other adaptive processes
Authors: McFarland Christopher D. , Mirny Leonid A. , Korolev Kirill S. 
Published: October 2014

Significance
During rapid adaptation, populations start in hostile conditions and must evolve new traits to survive. Development of cancer from a population of precancerous cells within a body is an example of such rapid adaptation. New traits required for cancer progression are acquired by driver mutations in a few key genes. Most mutations, however, are unimportant for progression and can be damaging to cancer cells, termed “passengers.” The role these damaging passengers play in cancer and other adaptive processes is unknown. Here we show that driver mutations engage in a tug-of-war with damaging passengers. This tug-of-war explains many phenomena in oncology, suggesting how to develop new therapies and target existing therapies to exploit damaging passengers.
The Drosophila Genome Nexus: a population genomic resource of 605Drosophila melanogastergenomes, including 197 genomes from a single ancestral range population

Published: October 2014

AbstractHundreds of wild-derivedD. melanogastergenomes have been published, but rigorous comparisons across data sets are precluded by differences in alignment methodology. The most common approach to reference-based genome assembly is a single round of alignment followed by quality filtering and variant detection. We evaluated variations and extensions of this approach, and settled on an assembly strategy that utilizes two alignment programs and incorporates both SNPs and short indels to construct an updated reference for a second round of mapping prior to final variant detection. Utilizing this approach, we reassembled publishedD. melanogasterpopulation genomic data sets (previous DPGP releases and the DGRP freeze 2.0), and added unpublished genomes from several sub-Saharan populations. Most notably, we present aligned data from phase 3 of the Drosophila Population Genomics Project (DPGP3), which provides 197 genomes from a single ancestral range population ofD. melanogaster(from Zambia). The large sample size, high genetic diversity, and potentially simpler demographic history of the DPGP3 sample will make this a highly valuable resource for fundamental population genetic research. The complete set of assemblies described here, termed the Drosophila Genome Nexus, presently comprises 605 consistently aligned genomes, and is publicly available in multiple formats with supporting documentation and bioinformatic tools. This resource will greatly facilitate population genomic analysis in this model species by reducing the methodological differences between data sets.
Domain theory and method theory in management accounting research
Authors: Lukka Kari , Vinnari Eija 
Published: October 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to distinguish two roles of theories, domain theory and method theory, and examine their relationships in management accounting research. Are these two roles explicitly distinguished in management accounting studies? Can this be achieved in an unambiguous manner? Where do ambitions for theoretical contribution lie in management accounting studies that employ method theories?Design/methodology/approach– The authors develop a conceptual framework for analysing possible relationships between domain theories and method theories in studies and illustrate the theoretical arguments with examples from management accounting studies employing Actor-Network Theory (ANT) as their method theory.Findings– There can be various types of relationships between domain theories and method theories, and the theoretical ambition of the analysed studies typically focused on domain theories. However, ambiguity can exist with regard to the location of a study's theoretical ambition. Both domain theories and method theories tend to be moving fields, and their interaction can add to this feature.Research limitations/implications– The suggested conceptual clarification assists in the reconciliation of extreme perspectives that relate to management accounting and theory. It will also help researchers to systematically design their own work and evaluate that of others. An increased understanding of how a field develops as a result of interaction with method theories might perhaps alleviate concerns regarding the value of mobilizing the latter.Originality/value– The analysis contributes to the on-going debate on the value and effects of employing method theories, or theoretical lenses, in management accounting research.
Creative spaces in interdisciplinary accounting research
Authors: Jeacle Ingrid , Carter Chris 
Published: October 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to consider the role of interdisciplinary accounting research and suggest ways of broadening its creative scope to embrace significant contemporary phenomenon.Design/methodology/approach– The paper is conceptual in nature and therefore draws only on secondary sources.Findings– The paper suggests that one of the defining features of interdisciplinary accounting research is that it should be a creative space in which novel ideas emerge and new agendas flourish. The authors identify three such creative spaces of scholarly inquiry: the media space, the virtual space and the popular culture space.Originality/value– The paper identifies three new creative spaces in which interdisciplinary accounting research may continue to flourish. It also identifies a possible threat to creativity within future interdisciplinary accounting research.
From persuasive to authoritative speech genres
Authors: Nørreklit Hanne , W. Scapens Robert 
Published: October 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to contrast the speech genres in the original and the published versions of an article written by academic researchers and published in the US practitioner-oriented journal,Strategic Finance. The original version, submitted by the researchers, was rewritten by a professional editor in the USA before it was published.Design/methodology/approach– The paper analyses the “persuasive” speech genre of the original version and the “authoritative” speech genre of the published version.Findings– Although it was initially thought that the differences between the two versions were due to differences in the forms communication used by academics and practitioners, as the analysis progressed it became clear that the differences the authors were observing could be traced to more profound differences in philosophical assumptions about the “way of understanding and constructing a world”.Research limitations/implications– The choice of language and argumentation should be given careful attention when the authors craft the accounting frameworks and research papers, and especially when the authors seek to communicate the findings of the research to practitioners. However, the authors have focused on just one instance in which a text written by academics was re-written for publication in a practitioner journal.Originality/value– The paper contrasts the rationalism of the persuasive speech genre and the pragmatism of the authoritative speech genre. It cautions academic researchers against uncritically adopting specific speech genres, whether they are academic or practitioner speech genres, without carefully reflecting on their relevance and implications for understanding the nature of the phenomenon being discussed.
A dream deferred: interdisciplinary accounting in the US
Authors: J. Fogarty Timothy 
Published: October 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to set out to examine and critique the current state and future trajectory of interdisciplinary accounting research in the USA.

Design/methodology/approach
– The analysis is based on the author's involvement in and research into accounting research and publication contexts, drivers and patterns in the accounting discipline.

Findings
– In all likelihood, research will continue established traditions that prevent the explorations of economics and finance from material broadening. This paper identifies how that which everyone believes to be such a good idea cannot bear fruit.

Research limitations/implications
– Conventional economics-based accounting research has proliferated in volume but has largely exhausted its potential for significant contributions to knowledge. Failure to embrace broadened interdisciplinary perspectives risks a crisis of accounting research contribution to policy, practice, and society.

Originality/value
– This critique reveals the serious weaknesses and serious risks to international accounting scholarship of the continuance and global mimicking of the North American pursuit of an exclusively economic accounting research perspective.
Enactive management: dancing with uncertainty and complexity
Authors: García de la Cerda Osvaldo , Soledad Saavedra Ulloa María 
Published: October 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to present and explain an enactive tool to be used by managers to move effectively in the context of high uncertainty and complexity that organizations nowadays operate.Design/methodology/approach– The approach raises in the enactive management that focusses on the ability of the manager to incorporate distinctions as an observer and self-observer to design interactions that can move the situation to be transformed. The key ontological tool that allow this learning is called CLEHES©.Findings– Using a soft technology as CLEHES, re configures the ways to observe and self-observe of manager and opens the design possibilities of the situation in which the organization is. Managers become choreographers in the sense they can design and move the interactions they observe. The embodied us of this tool requires an educational program that takes the form of hermeneutical laboratory where managers incorporate distinctions in the body and change the perspective they enact.Practical implications– This approach evokes changes in the observer and the enactor situation/situated in the organizational areas where the manager is responsible.Originality/value– A different and nurturing technology to self-observer and observation, allow enactive management in multiples domains and organizational contexts where the manager dance. The structural dynamics of the CLEHES dimensions creates multiples realities, through enactive conversations in a learning self-awareness process.
Containment control of second-order multi-agent systems with directed topology and time-delays
Authors: Qi Bin , Lou Xuyang , Cui Baotong 
Published: October 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to discuss the impacts of the communication time-delays to the distributed containment control of the second-order multi-agent systems with directed topology.

Design/methodology/approach
– A basic theoretical analysis is first carried out for the containment control of the second-order multi-agent systems under directed topology without communication time-delay and a sufficient condition is proposed for the achievement of containment control. Based on the above result and frequency-domain analysis method, a sufficient condition is also derived for the achievement of containment control of the second-order multi-agent systems under directed topology with communication time-delays. Finally, simulation results are presented to support the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Findings
– For the achievement of containment control of the second-order multi-agent systems under directed topology with communication time-delay, the control gain in the control protocols is completely dependent on the communication topology structure and the maximum of time-delay in the control protocols is dependent on the given control gain and communication topology structure.

Originality/value
– The paper investigates the containment control of the second-order multi-agent systems under directed topology with communication time-delays and presents a sufficient conditions for the achievement of containment control. The results and approach proposed in the paper may benefit interesting researchers.
