Comparison of core full text coverage in CINAHL Complete, ProQuest’s Nursing and Allied Health Source and Lippincott Wilkins and Wilson’s Nursing & Health Professionals Premier Collection
Authors: McGowan Beth , Ayers Meredith 
Published: January 2015

Purpose
– This paper aims to assess relative full-text coverage of core nursing and allied health journals in three databases: CINAHL Complete, ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health Source and Lippincott Wilkins and Wilson (LWW)’s Nursing & Health Professionals Premier Collection.

Design/methodology/approach
– The 2012 Nursing and Allied Health Resources Section (NAHRS) of the MLA list of 213 core nursing journals and the 1996 Brandon Hill list of 75 important allied journals were checked against full-text coverage of the three databases.

Findings
– CINAHL Complete provided 126 of 213 titles or 59 per cent of NAHRS titles and 31 of 75 or 41 per cent of the Brandon Hill titles; ProQuest provided 74 of 213 titles or 35 per cent of NAHRS titles and 27 of 75 or 36 per cent of the Brandon Hill titles; LWW provided 42 of 213 or 20 per cent of NAHRS titles and 5 of 75 or 6 per cent of the Brandon Hill titles.

Research limitations/implications
– If researchers have access to CINAHL Complete, they have access with that single database to significant coverage of quality nursing and allied health titles. The other two databases provide additional coverage and some unique title coverage, but their offerings are more limited.

Originality/value
– As no studies comparing full-text coverage of core nursing and allied health journals in three databases, CINAHL Complete, ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health Source and LWW’s Nursing & Health Professionals Premier Collection, exist, this study fills that need for librarians.
Organizational learning, knowledge management practices and firm’s performance
Authors: Jain Ajay K. , Moreno Ana 
Published: January 2015

Purpose
– The study aims at investigating the impact of organizational learning (OL) on the firm’s performance and knowledge management (KM) practices in a heavy engineering organization in India.

Design/methodology/approach
– The data were collected from 205 middle and senior executives working in the project engineering management division of a heavy engineering public sector organization. The organization manufactures power generation equipment. Questionnaires were administered to collect the data from the respondents.

Findings
– Results were analyzed using the exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression analysis techniques. The findings showed that all the factors of OL, i.e. collaboration and team working, performance management, autonomy and freedom, reward and recognition and achievement orientation were found to be the positive predictors of different dimensions of firm’s performance and KM practices.

Research limitations/implications
– The implications are discussed to improve the OL culture to enhance the KM practices so that firm’s performance could be sustained financially or otherwise. The study is conducted in one division of a large public organization, hence generalizability is limited.

Originality/value
– This is an original study carried out in a large a heavy engineering organization in India that validates the theory of OL and KM in the Indian context.
A Bioecological framework to evaluate communicative participation outcomes for preschoolers receiving speech–language therapy interventions in Ontario, Canada
Authors: Cunningham Barbara J. , Rosenbaum Peter L. 
Published: January 2015

AbstractBackgroundThe Preschool Speech and Language Program (PSLP) in Ontario, Canada, is a publically funded intervention service for children from birth to 5 years with communication disorders. It has begun a population‐level programme evaluation of children's communicative participation outcomes following therapy. Data are currently being collected for all children who access this service—over 50 000 children each year.AimsTo understand and evaluate how therapeutic interventions in speech–language therapy impact the everyday lives of children and families by applying a theoretical framework.Main ContributionThis discussion paper critically examines how the Bioecological Model of Development can be applied to the study of communicative participation outcomes following speech and language therapy. This model will be used in future analyses of communicative participation outcomes data in Ontario's PSLP. The strengths and challenges of this approach are reviewed.
Gezi Park Protests in Turkey: A Party Politics View
Authors: YARDIMCI‐GEYİKÇİ ŞEBNEM 
Published: January 2015

AbstractOne year on from the widespread protests in Turkey, the question of why small environmental protests against the building of a shopping mall on Gezi Park in the centre of Istanbul turned into the biggest example of mass civil movement in the republic's history remains unanswered. This article suggests that one can easily detect signs of instability and social unrest in the country long before these mass demonstrations took place. By analysing the evolution of the Turkish party system over the past decade, I argue that the political upheaval in the country is the result of a crisis of representation. This has two aspects: a high degree of polarisation has left certain segments of society unrepresented, while the AKP government has ceased to maintain the balance between responsiveness and responsibility.
The ‘Othering’ of ‘Red Ed’, or How the Daily Mail ‘Framed’ the British Labour Leader
Authors: GABER IVOR 
Published: January 2015

AbstractThis article takes as its starting point the attack on the late Ralph Miliband, the left‐wing intellectual and father of the current Labour leader Ed Miliband, by the Daily Mail in late 2013. It argues that this attack was a response by the Mail to its failed campaign to dub the Labour leader ‘Red Ed’. The article demonstrates that ever since Miliband won the Labour leadership in 2009, the Mail has sought to ‘other’ him by presenting him as ‘alien’—this by constant references to his Jewish background, his upbringing in a wealthy North London intellectual milieu, his supposed extreme left‐wing views and his ineffable ‘oddness’—at least, an oddness as characterised by the newspaper. The paper will conclude by asking why the Daily Mail's ‘Red Ed’ moniker failed to catch on, while noting that their ‘Odd Ed’ moniker seems to have had more resonance.
Proving, Pleasing and Persuading? Rhetoric in Contemporary British Politics
Authors: FINLAYSON ALAN 
Published: January 2015

AbstractExpressions of disaffection with politics are often connected with criticism of the ways in which contemporary politicians speak and communicate. In this article I show how political speech is in part a product of the way in which a society organises and arranges communication institutionally, technologically and aesthetically. The art of rhetoric is most fundamentally concerned with how, in the midst of political dispute and contestation, political arguments may be made persuasive through their connection with the ‘common sense’ of audiences. This process enables a people to reflect on its beliefs and values and to assess their adequacy in particular circumstances. Decline in this art may be attributed to social and technological change but also, and above all, to the dominance of ideologies hostile to the concepts of ‘common sense’ and ‘common good’, and which privilege the arts of behaviour change and choice management over those of argument, debate and persuasion.
Beyond Hollowing Out: Straitjacketing the State
Authors: CLIFTON JUDITH 
Published: January 2015

AbstractFor two decades, the metaphor of ‘hollowing out’ dominated discussions about the changing role of the state in delivering public services. Today, this metaphor no longer captures important contemporary developments. European Union policy has expanded deeper and deeper into public service sectors, increasingly constraining government's capacities to deliver these services. I suggest a new metaphor to capture this: straitjacketing the state. People are straitjacketed when they are perceived to be at risk of damaging themselves through self‐harm. Straitjacketing the state occurs when a state signs up to a new set of supranational rules which purportedly will help avoid it damaging itself, by restricting room for localised inefficient practices. However, due to the strength of the straitjacket, governments become significantly restricted in choosing policies for domestic implementation according to their preferences.
Dental and Chronological Age in Children Under Oncological Treatment
Authors: Flores Antonieta Pérez , Monti Claudia Fierro , Brunotto Mabel 
Published: January 2015

AbstractThe current oncology treatment has improved the survival of children with several types of cancer, and the effect of radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy treatment on dental maturation in comparison with chronological age is not widely known. The aim of this work was to evaluate and compare the impact of radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy treatment during dental maturation with chronological age in Chilean children diagnosed with cancer. Study Design was cross‐sectional study on children diagnosed with different types of cancer and treated with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy when they were ages of 0.1 to 13 years. Demirjian tables for both girls and boys are used to determine the dental age. The association between chronological and dental age was highly significant. Nevertheless, a linear relation between chronological and dental age was not observed when the data were stratified by BMI and type of treatment. This study confirmed that dental age is an indicator of chronological age but that other variables, such as body mass index, in children with cancer could be confounder variables. Thus, further studies are necessary to investigate the influence of BMI on tooth eruption/maturation in children under oncological treatment.

Published: January 2015

AbstractFifty‐six sudden unexplained death (SUD) cases were collected from Chinese Han population, which occurred during daily activities and were autopsy negative in comprehensive postmortem autopsy. The coding exons of potassium channel genes KCNE1, KCNQ1, and nitric oxide synthase gene NOS1AP were sequenced. A synonymous mutation, KCNE1 F54F T>C was identified in 2 SUD cases, which was absent in the control subjects. Neither genotype nor allele frequencies of KCNE1 and KCNQ1 exhibited a significant difference between the SUD and control group. In contrast, the allele frequency (p = 2.7 × 10−10) and genotype frequency (p = 5.9 × 10−7) of rs3751284, and the genotype frequency (p = 2.9 × 10−2) of rs348624 in NOS1AP of SUD were significantly different from that of controls (p < 0.05). Our study suggested that rs3751284 and rs348624 might be susceptibility loci for SUD during daily activities. Larger sample sizes and further molecular studies are needed to confirm or exclude an effect of the NOS1AP SNPs on SUD risk.

SummarySediments across the Namibian continental margin feature a strong microbial activity gradient at their surface. This is reflected in ammonium concentrations of < 10 μM in oligotrophic abyssal plain sediments near the South Atlantic Gyre compared with ammonium concentrations of > 700 μM in upwelling areas near the coast. Here we address changes in apparent abundance and structure of ammonia‐oxidizing archaeal and bacterial communities (AOA and AOB) along a transect of seven sediment stations across the Namibian shelf by analysing their respective ammonia monooxygenase genes (amoA). The relative abundance of archaeal and bacterial amoA (g−1 DNA) decreased with increasing ammonium concentrations, and bacterial amoA frequently outnumbered archaeal amoA at the sediment–water interface [0–1 cm below seafloor (cmbsf)]. In contrast, AOA were apparently as abundant as AOB or dominated in several deeper (> 10 cmbsf), anoxic sediment layers. Phylogenetic analyses showed a change within the AOA community along the transect, from two clusters without cultured representatives at the gyre to Nitrososphaera and Nitrosopumilus clusters in the upwelling region. AOB almost exclusively belonged to the Nitrosospira cluster 1. Our results suggest that this predominantly marine AOB lineage without cultured representatives can thrive at low ammonium concentrations and is active in the marine nitrogen cycle.

Published: January 2015

AbstractDespite recent efforts to develop the science of reintroduction biology, there is still no general and broadly accepted definition of reintroduction success. We investigate this issue based on the postulates (1) that successful reintroduction programs should produce viable populations and (2) that reliable assessments of ultimate success require that populations have reached their regulation phase. We assessed if the viability of these reintroduced populations could be evaluated using the same criteria as for remnant populations, such as the Internation Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List criteria. Using modeling, we projected the viabilities of theoretical populations with various life history and environmental characteristics and we tested whether population sizes (criterion D of the IUCN) and other potential predictors are relevant proxies of the risk of extinction (criterion E of the IUCN) in the case of remnant populations with an unknown past history and in the case of reintroduced populations that have reached their carrying capacity. We found that, as for remnant populations, population size can be used as a relevant indicator (although subject to considerable uncertainty) of the viability of reintroduced populations. However, the results demonstrate the importance of the reintroduction failure filter, that is, the fact that the reintroduced populations that have successfully reached their carrying capacity are those with the highest and more stable growth rates, especially if populations have been reintroduced with a few individuals. As a consequence, the general relationship between the current size of a population and its projected viability will, most likely, differ considerably between remnant and reintroduced populations. Overall, our results demonstrate that there are no theoretical limitations on the application of some of the criteria widely used for remnant populations to define reintroduction success, although these criteria are very conservative for reintroduced populations and might be rescaled to account for the demographic filter that early extinction constitutes for these populations.
On the Importance of the Traders’ Rules for Pricing Options: Evidence From Intraday Data
Authors: Kim Sol , Lee Changjun 
Published: January 2015

AbstractUsing intraday data from the KOSPI 200 Index options, we examine the pricing performance of alternative option pricing models. For comparison, we consider the Black and Scholes (Journal of Political Economy, 81, 1973, 637) model, a simple traders’ rule known as the ad hoc Black‐Scholes model, the deterministic volatility model, the stochastic volatility model, and the stochastic volatility with jumps model. Contrary to the findings of Jackwerth and Rubinstein (Recovering stochastic processes from option prices), Li and Pearson (A “horse race” among competing option pricing models using S&P 500 Index options), and Kim (Journal of Futures Markets, 29, 2009, 999) using daily data, we find that the most complicated model, namely the stochastic volatility with jumps model, shows the best performance for pricing the KOSPI 200 Index options. Overall, our evidence from intraday data indicates that the traders’ rules do not dominate mathematically more sophisticated models.
A Decomposition of Korean Sovereign Bond Yields: Joint Estimation Using Sovereign CDS and Bond Data
Authors: Kim Jungmu , Lee Changjun 
Published: January 2015

AbstractWe suggest a methodology to decompose sovereign bond yields into four components (risk‐free, default risk, risk premium, and non‐default) using both sovereign credit default swaps and bond data. Applying the methodology to one of the largest emerging markets, Korea, we find that each fraction varies over time and across bonds. In addition, the default risk accounts for only a small fraction of sovereign yield spreads, and a substantial portion is attributable to risk premium and non‐default components. In particular, the risk premium is substantially time‐varying; moreover, it increases in order to account for a major portion of the heightened yield spread during a financial crisis, implying that global investors prefer to hold safer assets. Therefore, higher risk premiums per unit risk are required than before. Our findings provide evidence on both flight‐to‐quality and time‐varying risk premium.
High Speed Equities Trading: 1993–2012
Authors: Stoll Hans R. 
Published: January 2015

AbstractHigh speed trading has drawn the attention of regulators who fear that such trading harms markets and leads to excessive speculation. The Flash Crash of May 6, 2010 is taken as evidence of the potential harmful effects of high frequency trading. On the other hand, some view high frequency trading as a manifestation of technological advances that have reduced the optimal trade size and improved order routing. From that perspective, high speed trading is a continuation of a long‐standing trend to more rapid and more efficient trading. This study shows that the speed of trading has changed dramatically. The average number of trades per day for large cap New York Stock Exchange stocks has risen from about 500 to more than 40 000 in the period 1993–2011. At the same time, the average trade size has fallen from 1600 shares to 200 shares. The ultimate sources of these changes are the technology that has automated almost all aspects of trading and the regulatory developments that have helped reduce bid‐ask spreads and made markets more accessible. The result of these developments is that markets are considerably more liquid and less costly. High frequency traders draw on this liquidity and also contribute to it.

Published: January 2015

SummaryDysfunction of human cavernous endothelial cells (HCECs) is a common pathological alteration caused by elevated high blood glucose levels associated with diabetes. To explore the protective effects of Icariside II (ICA II) on human cavernous endothelial cells, HCECs were isolated from non‐diabetic human donors, cultured under high glucose (HG) conditions and treated with ICA II. The cell apoptosis and proliferation, expression of Ki67 and Erk1/2, antioxidant capacity, and expression of Akt and eNOS were examined. Changes in cell apoptosis and proliferation indicated that HG treatment inhibited HCEC proliferation with lower percentage of Ki67‐positive cells and lower expression and phosphorylation of Erk1/2. Furthermore, the total antioxidant capacity (T‐AOC) of HCECs was reduced under HG conditions. In line with these findings, both expression and phosphorylation of Akt as well as eNOS was down regulated after HG treatment. The reduction in proliferative capacity, p‐Erk1/2, p‐Akt, and p‐eNOS were partially prevented by ICA II in a concentration‐dependent manner. The protective effects of ICA II rescued HCEC from injury and dysfunction induced by HG in vitro. ICA II may be a candidate for prevention of the development of diabetic erectile dysfunction.

SummaryBackgroundMuscle wasting or sarcopenia arising from chronic inflammation is found in 60% of patients with Crohn's disease. Transcriptional protein NF‐κB reduces muscle formation through MyoD transcription and increases muscle breakdown by proteolysis.AimAs TNF is a potent activator of NF‐κB, and anti‐TNF agent infliximab (IFX) prevents NF‐κB activation, to determine whether or not Crohn's patients treated with IFX gain muscle volume and strength.MethodsWe performed a prospective, repeated‐measures cohort study in adult Crohn's disease patients with an acute disease flare. Patients were instructed not to vary diet or activity. Concomitant medications were kept stable. At week 1 (pre‐treatment), week 16 (post‐IFX induction) and week 25 (post‐first IFX maintenance dose), we assessed (i) MRI volume of quadriceps femoris at anatomical mid‐thigh; (ii) maximal concentric quadriceps contractions strength at three specific speeds of contraction; (iii) physical activity by validated instrument (IPAQ); (iv) Three‐day food record of intake and composition (food‐weighing method); (v) Serum levels of IL6.ResultsNineteen patients (58% female; mean age 33.2 ± 10.7 years) were recruited. IFX increased muscle volume in both legs from baseline (right, 1505 cm3) to week 25 (right, 1569 cm3; P = 0.010). IFX also increased muscle strength in both legs from baseline (right 30°/s, 184.8 Nm) to week 25 (right 30°/s, 213.6 Nm; P = 0.002). Muscle volume gain correlated with male gender (P = 0.003). Significant gains in muscle volume and strength were unrelated to prednisolone use. Serum IL6 levels decreased by week 25 (P = 0.037).ConclusionThe anti‐TNF agent infliximab reverses inflammatory sarcopenia in patients with Crohn's disease.
