Paper mill's distribution efficiency to emerging East European markets
Authors: Hilmola Olli-Pekka , Hämäläinen Esa , Hujala Maija 
Published: September 2014

Purpose– European paper industry has been struggling with margins and profitability for more than decade time period. At typical in markets of west, paper product demand is at long-term decline, mostly driven by continuously increasing internet use. However, in emerging markets demand still exists, and in Europe numerous small markets in east have even some growth available. The paper aims to discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approach– The authors analyse in this research work with longitudinal data (period of 2002-2009) from one large Finnish paper mill and data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach, how distribution efficiency to selected eight East European markets has evolved.Findings– In general distribution efficiency has improved, but this has taken place in step-wise manner rather than being linear year-to-year development (year 2006 found to be the threshold). Reason is mostly in better management of transportation costs, and in particular lower monthly deviation of these costs. It is surprising that case paper mill has been able to manage transportation costs in rapidly increasing energy cost environment so efficiently. Maybe European Union enlargement of 2004 and 2007 has had its effects on distribution efficiency.Research limitations/implications– The research is limited to the deliveries of one paper mill located in Finland. Also East European markets in the early periods of this study were emerging papers markets, and distribution practices were clearly evolving.Practical implications– Based on the study East European paper market distribution should give more attention on transportation cost control, and trying to find solutions to minimize it with low monthly fluctuation.Originality/value– Very few studies exist from East European distribution issues, and particularly that of paper industry. Also used quantitative method of DEA is relatively new in this context and gives valuable insights for the distribution efficiency development.

Management of aggression care plans in a forensic intellectual disability service: a ten-year progress update
Authors: Kitchen David , Thomas Cathy , Chester Verity 
Published: September 2014

Purpose
– Standardised approaches to the management of aggression and violence are critical for all stakeholders of intellectual disability services. The purpose of this paper is to describe the Management of Aggression Care Plan (MoACP). The care plan aims to reduce levels of restrictive interventions, to ensure any interventions relative to aggression and violence are the least restrictive possible, and to promote adaptive behaviours and support life enriching opportunities, in a manner which is personalised to the unique profiles of every patient.

Design/methodology/approach
– The MoACP was first described by Thomas et al. (2005). This paper describes the rationale, theoretical basis, structure and benefits of the care plan, and provides details of revisions made to the plan in response to evidence-based practice recommendations.

Findings
– The value of implementing a structured approach to the care planning of management of aggression and violence, in reducing the frequency and impact of restrictive practices, and promoting life enriching opportunities is described.

Practical implications
– The paper describes a number of practical features of the care plan which most support its continued effectiveness, including patient involvement, individual patient focused training, and audit.

Originality/value
– Although many services undertake localised approaches to the care planning of management of violence and aggression in forensic intellectual disability services, few have been described in the published literature.
Sentencing offenders with mental impairment: the case of arsonists with intellectual disability
Authors: Curtis Ashlee , McVilly Keith , Day Andrew 
Published: September 2014

Purpose– Offenders with intellectual disability (ID) who commit arson and other acts of fire setting are over-represented in the criminal justice system in Australia, as in many other jurisdictions. The purpose of this paper is to provide insight into the judicial considerations that influence sentencing in these cases.Design/methodology/approach– Case law was utilised to locate and analyse judges’ sentencing remarks for offenders with ID found guilty of an offence of arson. These data were subject to Inductive Content Analysis to establish the major judicial considerations in sentencing.Findings– Seven common issues emerged: general deterrence, seriousness of arson, rehabilitation, sentencing options, moral culpability, protection of the community, and punishment. Judges noted that they handed down reduced sentences to persons with ID relative to the severity of their offending, that they considered people with ID to have low levels of moral culpability, and that these offenders did not provide good examples for community deterrence.Originality/value– The current study highlights the need for judges to have available a range of sentencing options, including diversion and treatment/rehabilitation programmes for persons with ID, particularly for those involved in more serious offences such as arson.
Integrating PDF interface into Java application
Authors: Lu Quan , Liu Gao , Chen Jing 
Published: September 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel approach to integrate portable document format (PDF) interface into Java-based digital library application. It bridges the gap between conducting content operation and viewing on PDF document asynchronously.

Design/methodology/approach
– In this paper, the authors first review some related research and discuss PDF and its drawbacks. Next, the authors propose the design steps and implementation of three modes of displaying PDF document: PDF display, image display and extensible markup language (XML) display. A comparison of these three modes has been carried out.

Findings
– The authors find that the PDF display is able to completely present the original PDF document contents and thus obviously superior to the other two displays. In addition, the format specification of PDF-based e-book does not perform well; lack of standardization and complex structure is exposed to the publication.

Practical implications
– The proposed approach makes viewing the PDF documents more convenient and effective, and can be used to retrieve and visualize the PDF documents and to support the personalized function customization of PDF in the digital library applications.

Originality/value
– This paper proposes a novel approach to solve the problem between content operation and the view of PDF synchronously, providing users a new tool to retrieve and reuse the PDF documents. It contributes to improve the service specification and policy of viewing the PDF for digital library. Besides, the personalized interface and public index make further development and application more feasible.
Institutional distance and entry mode choice by Brazilian firms
Authors: Vouga Chueke Gabriel , Mendes Borini Felipe 
Published: September 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of institutional distance, firm and industry characteristics on the establishment mode strategy of Brazilian multinationals – the choice between an acquisition and a greenfield investment.Design/methodology/approach– The authors build upon the recently developed of Institutional Theory an analytical framework, decomposing the institutional distance between formal institutions (economic, financial, political, administrative, demographic, geographic and knowledge distance) and informal institution (cultural distance), and we used control variables related to firm and industry levels.Findings– The results suggest a possible association between entry by acquisition and factors related to the firm-level and formal institution (financial, political and demographic distance). Findings also suggest a strong relationship between greenfield investments and informal institution (cultural distance) and industry-level factors.Praticallimitations– The authors believe that the managers of Brazilian companies should use the variables adopted in this study as criteria to identify the factors that influence entry strategy abroad.Socialimplications– Another possible contribution concerns the scope of the government because results demonstrated the weight that formal institutions place on the entry process into foreign countries.Originality/value– This study contributes to the ongoing academic discussion regarding entry modes in different ways. First, this study contributes, given the novelty of its proposal: no quantitative studies were found to have analyzed establishment mode choice in Brazil. Another contribution is the finding related to the association between entry mode and institutional distance between countries.

Sentence repetition: what does the task measure?
Authors: Polišenská Kamila , Chiat Shula , Roy Penny 
Published: September 2014

AbstractBackgroundSentence repetition is gaining increasing attention as a source of information about children's sentence‐level abilities in clinical assessment, and as a clinical marker of specific language impairment. However, it is widely debated what the task is testing and therefore how informative it is.Aims(1) To evaluate the effects of different types of long‐term linguistic knowledge on immediate recall, (2) to assess age sensitivity of repetition tasks designed to evaluate these effects, and (3) to establish if the effects are similar across typologically different languages. The study also considers the implications of the findings for the use of sentence repetition as a research and clinical assessment tool.Methods & ProceduresParticipants were 50 English‐speaking and 50 Czech‐speaking typically developing 4–5‐year‐olds. Children's ability to recall sequences of items was compared in seven linguistic conditions ranging from fully well‐formed sentences to sequences of non‐words. In each condition, children repeated blocks of successively longer stimuli to establish their span.Outcomes & ResultsResults showed significant but differential effects of all linguistic factors in both languages. While syntactic violations and presence of non‐words dramatically reduced children's span, semantic implausibility and the removal of sentence prosody played a significant but much smaller role. Familiarity of function words was more important than familiarity of content words. The effects of different linguistic factors on spans were the same for both languages and did not change between 4 and 5 years, although average spans increased over this age range.Conclusions & ImplicationsChildren's ability to repeat sentences is more dependent on their familiarity with morphosyntax and lexical phonology than semantics or prosody, with function words of particular importance. Findings have implications for the use of recall in clinical assessment and as a research tool.
Verbal competence in narrative retelling in 5‐year‐olds with unilateral cleft lip and palate
Authors: Klintö Kristina , Salameh Eva‐Kristina , Lohmander Anette 
Published: September 2014

AbstractBackgroundResearch regarding expressive language performance in children born with cleft palate is sparse. The relationship between articulation/phonology and expressive language skills also needs to be further explored.AimsTo investigate verbal competence in narrative retelling in 5‐year‐old children born with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and its possible relationship with articulation/phonology at 3 and 5 years of age.Methods & ProceduresA total of 49 children, 29 with UCLP treated according to three different procedures for primary palatal surgery and a comparison group of 20 children (COMP), were included. Longitudinally recorded audio files were used for analysis. At ages 3 and 5, the children were presented with a single‐word test of word naming and at age 5 also the Bus Story Test (BST). The BST was assessed according to a test manual. The single‐word test was phonetically transcribed and the percentage of consonants correct adjusted for age (PCC‐A) was calculated. Differences regarding the BST results within the UCLP group were analysed. The results were compared with the results of the COMP group, and also with norm values. In addition, the relationship between the results of the BST and the PCC‐A scores at ages 3 and 5 years was analysed.Outcomes & ResultsNo significant group differences or correlations were found. However, 65.5% of the children in the UCLP group had an information score below 1 standard deviation from the norm value compared with 30% in the COMP group.ConclusionsA larger proportion of children in the UCLP group than in the COMP group displayed problems with retelling but the differences between the two groups were not significant. There was no association between the BST results in the children with UCLP and previous or present articulatory/phonological competence. Since group size was small in both groups, the findings need to be verified in a larger study.
Maternal responsiveness predicts child language at ages 3 and 4 in a community‐based sample of slow‐to‐talk toddlers
Authors: Hudson Sophie , Levickis Penny , Down Kate , Nicholls Ruth , Wake Melissa 
Published: September 2014

AbstractBackgroundMaternal responsiveness has been shown to predict child language outcomes in clinical samples of children with language delay and non‐representative samples of typically developing children. An effective and timely measure of maternal responsiveness for use at the population level has not yet been established.AimsTo determine whether a global rating of maternal responsiveness at age 2 years predicts language outcomes at ages 3 and 4 in a community sample of slow‐to‐talk toddlers.Methods & ProceduresIn an Australian population‐based study, at child age 1:6 years, 301 slow‐to‐talk toddlers (scoring ≤20th percentile on a parent‐reported expressive vocabulary checklist) were invited to take part in a 15‐min free‐play video of mother‐child interaction at 2:0 years. Each free‐play video was rated for maternal responsiveness using a five‐point global rating scale, where 1 is ‘very low’ responsiveness and 5 is ‘very high’ responsiveness. Language skills were measured at 3:0 years using PLS‐4 and at 4:0 years using the CELF‐P2.Outcomes & ResultsIn adjusted linear regression models (potential confounders: gender, maternal education, socioeconomic status) maternal responsiveness strongly predicted receptive, expressive and total language standard scores at ages 3 (coefficient = 5.9, p < 0.001; coefficient = 5.4, p < 0.001; coefficient = 6.2, p < 0.001, respectively) and 4 years (coefficient = 4.6, p < 0.001; coefficient = 3.1, p = 0.004; coefficient = 4.0, p < 0.001, respectively).Conclusions & ImplicationsSlow‐to‐talk toddlers of mothers with higher global ratings of responsiveness have higher language scores at 3 and 4 years of age. This global measure of maternal responsiveness could be further developed as a clinical tool for identifying which slow‐to‐talk toddlers are most in need of early intervention.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of 200 mg of daily vaginal natural progesterone to prevent preterm birth in women with preterm labour.DesignMulticentre, randomised, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial.SettingTwenty‐nine centres in Switzerland and Argentina.PopulationA total of 385 women with preterm labour (240/7to 336/7 weeks of gestation) treated with acute tocolysis.MethodsParticipants were randomly allocated to either 200 mg daily of self‐administered vaginal progesterone or placebo within 48 hours of starting acute tocolysis.Main outcome measuresPrimary outcome was delivery before 37 weeks of gestation. Secondary outcomes were delivery before 32 and 34 weeks, adverse effects, duration of tocolysis, re‐admissions for preterm labour, length of hospital stay, and neonatal morbidity and mortality. The study was ended prematurely based on results of the intermediate analysis.ResultsPreterm birth occurred in 42.5% of women in the progesterone group versus 35.5% in the placebo group (relative risk [RR] 1.2; 95% confidence interval [95%CI] 0.93–1.5). Delivery at <32 and <34 weeks did not differ between the two groups (12.9 versus 9.7%; [RR1.3; 95%CI0.7–2.5] and 19.7 versus 12.9% [RR1.5; 95%CI0.9–2.4], respectively). The duration of tocolysis, hospitalisation, and recurrence of preterm labour were comparable between groups. Neonatal morbidity occurred in 44 (22.8%) cases on progesterone versus 35 (18.8%) cases on placebo (RR: 1.2; 95%CI0.82–1.8), whereas there were 4 (2%) neonatal deaths in each study group.ConclusionThere is no evidence that the daily administration of 200 mg vaginal progesterone decreases preterm birth or improves neonatal outcome in women with preterm labour.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association of maternal circulating 25‐hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] concentration with pregnancy and birth outcomes.DesignProspective cohort study.SettingFour geographical areas of Spain, 2003–2008.PopulationOf 2382 mother–child pairs participating in the INfancia y Medio Ambiente (INMA) Project.MethodsMaternal circulating 25(OH)D3 concentration was measured in pregnancy (mean [SD] 13.5 [2.2] weeks of gestation). We tested associations of maternal 25(OH)D3 concentration with pregnancy and birth outcomes.Main outcome measuresGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), preterm delivery, caesarean section, fetal growth restriction (FGR) and small‐for‐gestational age (SGA), anthropometric birth outcomes including weight, length and head circumference (HC).ResultsOverall, 31.8% and 19.7% of women had vitamin D insufficiency [25(OH)D3 20–29.99 ng/ml] and deficiency [25(OH)D3 < 20 ng/ml], respectively. After adjustment, there was no association between maternal 25(OH)D3 concentration and risk of GDM or preterm delivery. Women with sufficient vitamin D [25(OH)D3 ≥ 30 ng/ml] had a decreased risk of caesarean section by obstructed labour compared with women with vitamin D deficiency [relative risk (RR) = 0.60, 95% CI 0.37, 0.97). Offspring of mothers with higher circulating 25(OH)D3 concentration tended to have smaller HC [coefficient (SE) per doubling concentration of 25(OH)D3, −0.10 (0.05), P = 0.038]. No significant associations were found for other birth outcomes.ConclusionThis study did not find any evidence of an association between vitamin D status in pregnancy and GDM, preterm delivery, FGR, SGA and anthropometric birth outcomes. Results suggest that sufficient circulating vitamin D concentration [25(OH)D3 ≥ 30 ng/ml] in pregnancy may reduce the risk of caesarean section by obstructed labour.
A systematic review of p16/Ki‐67 immuno‐testing for triage of low grade cervical cytology
Authors: Kisser A , Zechmeister‐Koss I 
Published: September 2014

BackgroundScreening for cervical cancer precursors by Papanicolaou cytology is a public health success story; however, its low sensitivity entails unnecessary referrals to colposcopy of healthy women with equivocal (ASCUS) or mild dysplasia (LSIL) cytology.ObjectiveWe assessed the accuracy of p16/Ki‐67 immuno‐testing for triage of low grade cervical cytology.Search strategyWe systematically searched Medline, Embase, CRD and Cochrane databases, and handsearched key references.Selection criteriaEligible studies included women with ASCUS or LSIL cervical cytology who had undergone p16/Ki‐67 testing and subsequent verification by colposcopy‐directed biopsies and histologic analysis.Data collection and analysisWe extracted data on patient characteristics and test conduct, diagnostic accuracy measures and assessed the methodological quality of the studies. R software was used to perform a bivariate analysis of test performance data.Main resultsFive eligible studies were identified. Four of the studies had high risk of bias. In the LSIL subgroup, the sensitivity of p16/Ki‐67 testing ranged from 0.86 to 0.98, compared with 0.92–0.96 of high‐risk HPV testing (hrHPV); specificity ranged from 0.43 to 0.68 versus 0.19 to 0.37, respectively. In the ASCUS subgroup, sensitivity ranged from 0.64 to 0.92 (p16/Ki67 test) versus 0.91 to 0.97 (hrHPV); specificity ranged from 0.53 to 0.81 versus 0.26 to 0.44, respectively.Authors' conclusionsp16/Ki‐67 testing cannot be recommended for triage women with ASCUS or LSIL cytology due to insufficient high‐quality evidence. Further studies on test performance and the impact of p16/Ki‐67‐based triage on health outcomes are needed for a definitive evaluation of its clinical utility.
