Professional identity: a grounded theory study of veteran academic librarians
Authors: Sare Laura , Edward Bales Stephen 
Published: October 2014

Purpose– This qualitative study aims to analyse veteran academic librarians’ perceptions of librarianship to develop a grounded theory that models this group’s understandings of the profession. In addition, this study compares its findings to a previous grounded theory study that modelled novice academic librarians’ perceptions of the profession.Design/methodology/approach– Using the long interview technique, the analysts interviewed 15 veteran academic librarians, i.e. those with 10 or more years continuous experience as professional academic librarians, who work in Texas universities and four-year colleges. Qualitative analytical methods were used to develop a substantive grounded theory from the data.Findings– Two theoretical categories emerged that model academic librarian perceptions of the profession: orienting self (and others) to a shifting profession and driving change in the field. These categories depict academic librarianship as a profession focussed on change, and the theory valuates both mentoring and practitioner research as important elements of this change.Practical implications– The results of the study may provide useful information to help orient librarians new to the field.Originality/value– There is a dearth of systematic empirical analyses that explores the personal meanings that academic librarians attach to professional identity. This paper works to fill this gap and to complement the existing critical/cultural and quantitative research concerning the professional identity of librarians.
Demonstrating personal stature: some strategies for the LIS higher doctoral candidate
Authors: K. Shenton Andrew 
Published: October 2014

Purpose
– The paper aims to explore the approaches that may be used by library and information science (LIS) higher doctoral candidates when preparing their submissions, especially in terms of highlighting the quality of their publications and the impact they have made.

Design/methodology/approach
– The methods discussed are those that were considered – and often actually used – by the author when assembling his own submission. Frequent references are made in the paper to pertinent literature on research and to British universities’ regulations on higher doctorates.

Findings
– The author warns against the tendency of applicants to concentrate too heavily on citation data. Although such statistics are undoubtedly important, a more convincing case for being awarded a higher doctorate may be made by drawing on a variety of sources of evidence, by no means all of which will be quantitative.

Research limitations/implications
– The paper is based on the experiences of one individual, i.e. the author, and consequently the perspective is narrower than would have been the case had it been written by a team of academics, all of whom had prepared their own higher doctoral applications, with each bringing their own unique experience to bear.

Practical implications
– The article is wholly practical in its focus; it covers a range of issues and offers realistic guidelines that should be considered by applicants.

Originality/value
– Published advice for the higher doctoral candidate is currently extremely limited. It would appear that no significant books or journal articles offer any support to scholars seeking the qualification. This paper has been written to help plug that gap.
A comparative study of knowledge sharing pattern among the undergraduate and postgraduate students of private universities in Bangladesh
Authors: Sabbir Rahman Muhammad , Highe Khan Abdul , Mahabub Alam Md. , Mustamil Norizah , Wei Chong Chin 
Published: October 2014

Purpose
– The aim of this inquiry is to uncover the pattern of knowledge-sharing behaviour among the undergraduate and postgraduate students of private universities in Bangladesh.

Design/methodology/approach
– This inquiry studied the knowledge-sharing pattern of undergraduate and graduate students by utilising a questionnaire-based open-ended survey from several private universities in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Apart from the descriptive statistics, the research used t-test to further explain the data.

Findings
– This research focussed on seven areas of knowledge-sharing pattern. The data collected from 350 respondents from different private universities suggest that there are significant differences in the knowledge-sharing pattern between undergraduate and graduate students. Overall, this research documents that the postgraduate students have shown higher perceived attitudes towards knowledge sharing, compared to undergraduate students.

Research limitations/implications
– This research applied a descriptive study to understand knowledge-sharing patterns among undergraduate and postgraduate students, rather than a correlational study to ascertain the relationship among variables.

Practical implications
– This research has contributed to the knowledge-sharing research in several aspects. In fact, this study extended the research findings of Wei et al. (2012) by examining the patterns of knowledge sharing in a different socioeconomic environment. Although this research investigated the practice of knowledge sharing of undergraduate and postgraduate students by adapting the instrument of Wei et al. (2012), one of the significant contributions of this research is to explore the behavioural aspects of knowledge-sharing pattern among undergraduate and postgraduate students from different private universities in Bangladesh. By interpreting the knowledge-sharing pattern of undergraduate and postgraduate students of private universities, this inquiry will assist the government’s policymakers, management of individual universities and academicians to come up with novel methods of instruction and to transform the knowledge-driven higher learning establishment.

Originality/value
– The majority of studies on knowledge sharing have been conducted in an organisational context. This inquiry is one of few investigations to compare the knowledge-sharing patterns among undergraduate and postgraduate students in Bangladesh.
Management of gastro‐colic fistula after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
Authors: Bhasker Aparna Govil , Khalifa Hind , Sood Amit , Lakdawala Muffazal 
Published: October 2014

AbstractLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most common bariatric procedure performed in Asia. Staple‐line leaks post LSG are notoriously difficult to treat. Here we report a case of a gastro‐colic fistula after a post‐LSG leak. While reperforming laparoscopy and/or stenting remain the mainstay of early leak management, chronic complications such as a gastro‐colic fistula are rare and require a tailor‐made approach. Stenting alone has a limited role in managing chronic fistulas after LSG.
Richter's hernia after an intraperitoneal mesh repair
Authors: Pandey Anshuman , Masood Shakeel , Goel Vijay Kumar , Gupta Amit Kumar 
Published: October 2014

AbstractFor ventral hernia repair, laparoscopic surgery offers various advantages, including the application of a large mesh using the intraperitoneal approach. However, improper closure of the port site may lead to serious complications. Port‐site hernia is a rare outcome of inadequate repair of the fascial or peritoneal layer, and Richter's hernia in a high risk patient, in the presence of an intraperitoneal mesh, is a particularly challenging scenario. Herein, we present a 58‐year‐old woman who, after a ventral hernia repair, was diagnosed with a small bowel hernia through a 10‐mm port site. The patient complained of pain and mild swelling at the port site in the postoperative period, and her symptoms indicated intestinal obstruction. Clinical evaluation and abdominal X‐ray confirmed the diagnosis, and early laparoscopic re‐exploration and management were the key to a favorable outcome.
Iconic Prosody in Story Reading
Authors: Perlman Marcus , Clark Nathaniel , Johansson Falck Marlene 
Published: October 2014

AbstractRecent experiments have shown that people iconically modulate their prosody corresponding with the meaning of their utterance (e.g., Shintel et al., 2006). This article reports findings from a story reading task that expands the investigation of iconic prosody to abstract meanings in addition to concrete ones. Participants read stories that contrasted along concrete and abstract semantic dimensions of speed (e.g., a fast drive, slow career progress) and size (e.g., a small grasshopper, an important contract). Participants read fast stories at a faster rate than slow stories, and big stories with a lower pitch than small stories. The effect of speed was distributed across the stories, including portions that were identical across stories, whereas the size effect was localized to size‐related words. Overall, these findings enrich the documentation of iconicity in spoken language and bear on our understanding of the relationship between gesture and speech.
Loss of expression of 5‐hydroxymethylcytosine in CD30‐positive cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders

Published: October 2014

AbstractBackgroundThe methylation of DNA at position 5 of cytosine, and the subsequent reduction in intracellular 5‐hydroxymethylcytosine (5‐hmC) levels, is a key epigenetic event in several cancers, including systemic lymphomas. However, no studies have analyzed this epigenetic marker in cutaneous lymphomas. Therefore, we aimed to analyze the expression of 5‐hmC in cutaneous CD30‐positive lymphoproliferative disorders and compare it with a control group composed of reactive infectious and inflammatory disorders with CD30‐positive cells.MethodsRetrospective case series study with immunohistochemical analysis using anti‐CD30 and anti‐5‐hmC antibodies in control (n = 19), lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) (n = 27) and primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) (n = 14) specimens.ResultsComplete loss of 5‐hmC nuclear staining by CD30+ cells was observed in 63% of LyP cases, 57% of ALCL cases and 0% of control cases.ConclusionsThe presence of 5‐hmC+ and CD30+ lymphocytes was highly suggestive of a benign process. In contrast, loss of 5‐hmC nuclear staining was highly suggestive of a lymphoproliferative disorder (ALCL or LyP). Under these circumstances, the use of 5‐hmC staining can be a useful adjunctive tool for discriminating between neoplastic CD30+ lymphoproliferations and inflammatory/infectious simulators harboring reactive CD30+ cells.

Published: October 2014

SummaryBackgroundThe continuous evaluation of the edges of a tumor by means of three‐dimensional (3D) histology often appears complicated and require the surgeon and dermatopathologist to work together closely. We present clear rules that allow communication between all parties involved and then verify their application in daily routine.MethodsTissue processing, interpretation of results, as well as communication between the surgeon and the dermatopathologist are based on an algorithm with the aid of exact times and embedding cassettes, which allow precise topographic orientation. We evaluated the use of this method in daily clinic practice, taking into account 947 operated basal cell carcinomas in regard to the development of recurrent tumors.ResultsAt a median follow‐up of 47 months, 10 of the 947 operated basal cell carcinomas (1.1 %) recurred. Sclerodermiform basal cell carcinomas and basal cell carcinomas which could not be curatively resected (R0 resection) during the initial surgery showed a significantly higher recurrence rate (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001).ConclusionsStandardized rules for dealing with excised tissue allow an effective application of 3D histology in daily clinical practice. 3D histology results in low recurrence rates. Sclerodermiform basal cell carcinomas which could not be curatively resected (R0 resection) were identified as a risk group for the development of recurrent tumors.
Linking Up to Development? Global Value Chains and the Making of a Post‐Washington Consensus
Authors: Werner Marion , Bair Jennifer , Fernández Victor Ramiro 
Published: October 2014

ABSTRACTOver the last decade, the global value chain (GVC) approach, with its associated notions of chain governance and firm upgrading, has proliferated as a mode of analysis and of intervention amongst development institutions. This article examines the adoption and adaptation of GVCs at four multilateral agencies in order to understand the purchase of value chain approaches within the development field. Mixing GVC perspectives with other theoretical influences and applied practices, these institutions deploy value chain frameworks to signal a new generation of policies that promise both to consolidate, and to advance beyond, the market fundamentalism of the Washington Consensus. To achieve this, value chain development frameworks craft interventions directed toward various constellations of firm and non‐firm actors as a ‘third way’ between state‐minimalist and state‐coordinated approaches. The authors identify key adaptations of the GVC framework including an emphasis on value chain governance as an instrument to correct market failure in partnership with state and development agencies, and upgrading as a de facto tool for poverty reduction. They find that efforts are ongoing to construct a ‘post’ to the Washington Consensus and that the global value chain is enabling this process by providing a new language and new object of development intervention: ‘the chain’ and the local–global linkages that comprise it.
BRAFV600E mutation in cutaneous lesions of patients with adult Langerhans cell histiocytosis

AbstractBackgroundLangerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is characterized by the proliferation of pathologic Langerhans cells. The disease can develop in any age and can affect almost any organ. Cutaneous involvement is frequent in LCH. The recent demonstration of the activating, oncogenic BRAFV600E gene mutation in LCH samples strongly supports the neoplastic origin of the disease.ObjectivesOur aim was to analyse the clinical data of the patients and whether BRAFV600E mutation is present in skin lesions of patients with adult onset LCH, and to investigate whether the BRAFV600E mutation status has any effect on the clinical presentation and the outcome of the disease.MethodsWe diagnosed and treated 15 adult LCH patients in the period of 1987–2012 and collected their clinical data. Three of our patients suffered from skin involvement and 12 patients had multiorgan disease (five patients out of the multisystem group died). Eleven formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded skin samples from 10 patients were available for BRAFV600E mutation analysis.ResultsAmong the 11 examined samples, 6 contained the BRAFV600E mutation (54.5%). Our results indicate that in the adult group of LCH patients the presence of BRAFV600E mutation is similar to what was previously suggested in case of the childhood forms, at least as far as skin lesions are concerned. The BRAF mutation status of our patients does not seem to correlate with the extent and/or the outcome of the disease.ConclusionOur results support the neoplastic origin of LCH and suggest that skin lesions of LCH are sufficient for the diagnosis of the disease and for assessing its BRAF status. In addition, analysis of BRAF status of patients with LCH can lead to the administration of new targeted therapies which may provide better disease control and prognosis.
Comparative Epidemiology of Three Virus Diseases on Zucchini Squash
Authors: Moreira Alécio Souza , Filho Armando Bergamin , Rezende Jorge Alberto Marques 
Published: October 2014

AbstractZucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV), Papaya ringspot virus – type W (PRSV‐W) and Zucchini lethal chlorosis virus (ZLCV) cause important diseases on zucchini squash crops in Brazil. ZYMV and PRSV‐W belong to the genus Potyvirus and are transmitted by aphids, whereas ZLCV belongs to Tospovirus and is transmitted by the thrips Frankliniella zucchini. These three viruses may occur simultaneously in the field, and the epidemiology of the corresponding diseases may be determined by interactions among viruses, hosts and vectors. In this work, the progress of the diseases caused by these viruses was studied over a temporal and geographic range for three planting seasons (PS). For the lethal chlorosis (ZLCV), a monomolecular model was found to be the best fit for the data, though only during the third PS. For data collected during the first two PS, the Gompertz model was found to fit the data best. The spatial distribution of disease indicated disease aggregation at the end of the crop cycle. For the yellow mosaic (ZYMV), the model that best fit in the 1st PS was the logistic and in the 2nd and 3rd PS was monomolecular. The spatial pattern of the disease was random when the disease incidence was low but aggregated when the disease incidence was high. The common mosaic (PRSV‐W) showed the lowest incidence in all three PS. An exponential model was the best fit for data collected during all PS, and the spatial pattern of the disease was random. Interactions among the three viruses apparently did not result in changes in the epidemiology of the diseases. Removal of sources of inoculum and planting at an unfavourable time for reproduction of virus vectors are the two main measures recommended for the control of these diseases. The use of insecticide is indicated only for the control of the F. zucchini.
Linear versus non‐linear gastrointestinal foreign bodies in 499 dogs: clinical presentation, management and short‐term outcome

Published: October 2014

OBJECTIVESTo compare clinical signs, clinicopathological abnormalities, imaging findings and outcome of dogs with linear and non‐linear foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract.METHODSRetrospective review of case records of dogs with a confirmed diagnosis of gastrointestinal foreign body. Signalment, history, clinical signs, clinicopathological data, diagnostic imaging studies, surgical and endoscopic procedures, hospital stay, costs and outcome were compared between groups.RESULTSA total of 176 dogs had linear and 323 had non‐linear foreign bodies. Dogs with a linear foreign body were more likely to have a history of vomiting, anorexia, lethargy and pain on abdominal palpation. They were also more likely to have the foreign body anchored in the stomach and continuing into the small intestine, experience intestinal necrosis, perforation and peritonitis, and require intestinal resection and anastamosis. The duration of hospitalisation was longer for dogs with linear foreign body (3 versus 2 days), and the cost of treatment was 10% higher. However, in both groups, 96% of dogs survived to hospital discharge.CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCEDogs with a linear foreign body had more severe clinical signs and gastrointestinal pathology, and an increased duration of hospitalisation and cost of care. However, overall survival rates were not different in dogs with linear and non‐linear foreign bodies.
On the Problem of the Victim/Perpetrator Dichotomy: The Massacre of Kurds (Iran, 1979)
Authors: Mazinani Mehran M. 
Published: October 2014

AbstractThis article recontextualizes the massacre that took place in the Kurdistan region of Iran in 1979. Through examining interviews with and articles by some of the leading actors involved in the massacre and analysing various alignments between Tehran and Kurdistan, the article concludes that the massacre was not an ethnic conflict. Rather, it was a political issue exacerbated by matters such as the turbulent transition from the Pahlavi dynasty to the Islamic Republic and idiosyncrasies of the involved actors. Framing the massacre in a primordially black and white fashion – Sunni Kurds versus Shiite Persians – is not only historically inaccurate but also empirically problematic.

Purpose:During the competitive soccer season, women’s intercollegiate matches are typically played on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons. The efficacy of a 42-h recovery period is not well understood. This investigation was conducted to determine performance differences between Friday and Sunday matches during a competitive season.Methods:Ten NCAA Division I female soccer players (20.5 ± 1.0 y, 166.6 ± 5.1 cm, 61.1 ± 5.8 kg) were monitored with 10-Hz GPS devices across 8 weekends with matches played on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons. The players were outside backs, midfielders, and forwards. All players had to participate in a minimum of 45 min/match to be included in the study. Average minutes played, total distance covered, total distance of high-intensity running (HIR) (defined as running at a velocity equal to or exceeding 3.61 m/s for longer than 1 s), the number of HIR efforts, and the number of sprints were calculated for each match. Data for Friday vs Sunday matches were averaged and then compared using dependent t tests.Results:No differences were seen in minutes played, distance rate, or number of sprints between Friday and Sunday matches. A significant (P = .017) decrease in rate of HIR between Friday (25.37 ± 7.22 m/min) and Sunday matches (22.90 ± 5.70 m/min) was seen. In addition, there was a trend toward a difference (P = .073) in the number of efforts of HIR between Friday (138.41 ± 36.43) and Sunday (126.92 ± 31.31).Conclusions:NCAA Division I female soccer players cover less distance of HIR in games played less than 48 h after another game. This could be due to various factors such as dehydration, glycogen depletion, or muscle damage.
