Satisfaction Spillovers Across Categories
Authors: Dong Xiaojing , Chintagunta Pradeep K. 
Published: September 2015

We provide a descriptive study of the cross-category effects of satisfaction with financial services on retention behavior. Behavioral contrast and learning theories provide the bases for our understanding of these effects. Our empirical results reveal the following: (i) Across banking and investment categories, when customers have different providers, satisfaction with one lowers the retention probability in the other service. (ii) A customer who is dissatisfied with the investment service is more likely to stay with the current banking service. (iii) Significantly, we find that when the same firm is involved in both categories, dissatisfaction with the firm in the investment category spills over into the banking category thereby lowering its retention probability. We also find that: (a) among customers who are satisfied with banking (investment), more exposure to media increases retention probability; (b) although switching costs and order of acquisition affect retention, they do not show cross-category interactions with satisfaction. We then obtain implications for customer lifetime value (CLV) and show that it can increase satisfaction by leveraging both the within and across category effects. Bottom line: It is important for a company providing multiple services to measure satisfaction at the category level but to manage customers across categories.

Published: September 2015

Introduction Enhanced recovery programmes have been established in some areas of elective surgery. This study applied enhanced recovery principles to elective oesophageal and gastric cancer surgery. Methods An enhanced recovery programme for patients undergoing open oesophagogastrectomy, total and subtotal gastrectomy for oesophageal and gastric malignancy was designed. A retrospective cohort study compared length of stay on the critical care unit (CCU), total length of inpatient stay, rates of complications and in-hospital mortality prior to (35 patients) and following (27 patients) implementation. Results In the cohort study, the median total length of stay was reduced by 3 days following oesophagogastrectomy and total gastrectomy. The median length of stay on the CCU remained the same for all patients. The rates of complications and mortality were the same. Conclusions The standardised protocol reduced the median overall length of stay but did not reduce CCU stay. Enhanced recovery principles can be applied to patients undergoing major oesophagogastrectomy and total gastrectomy as long as they have minimal or reversible co-morbidity.
Doege–Potter Syndrome
Authors: Ahluwalia N , Attia R , Green A , Cane P , Routledge T 
Published: September 2015

Doege–Potter syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome presenting as a hypoinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia from the ectopic secretion of a prohormone of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) from a solitary fibrous tumour. Surgical resection is curative in the majority of cases. If, however, the diagnosis is not suspected and treatment is delayed, it can lead to hypoxic cerebral injury or death. The underlying tumour can be a benign or malignant pleural tumour but may be present in extrapleural sites. For a diagnosis of Doege–Potter syndrome, symptoms attributable to hypoglycaemia and low blood glucose levels should be present along with the secretion of prohormone IGF-II. We report a case of severe hypoglycaemia in a 76-year-old inpatient admitted for resection of a recurrent left-sided pleural tumour. Investigation revealed true hypoglycaemia and Doege–Potter syndrome was diagnosed. The tumour was completely resected and the patient made a full recovery with no further hypoglycaemic episodes.
Eyes wide open: reader and author responsibility in understanding the limits of peer review
Authors: Benson PJ 
Published: September 2015

‘Medical science can only flourish in a free society and dies under totalitarian repression.’ 1 Peer review post-publication is relatively easy to define: when the world decides the importance of publication. Peer review pre-publication is what the scientific community frequently means when using the term ‘peer review’. But what it is it? Few will agree on an exact definition; generally speaking, it refers to an independent, third party scrutiny of a manuscript by scientific experts (called peers) who advise on its suitability for publication. Peer review is expensive; although reviewers are unpaid, the cost in time is enormous and it is slow. There is often little agreement among reviewers about whether an article should be published and peer review can be a lottery. Often referred to as a quality assurance process, there are many examples of when peer review failed. Many will be aware of Woo-Suk Hwang’s shocking stem cell research misconduct at Seoul National University. 2 Science famously published two breakthrough articles that were found subsequently to be completely fabricated and this happened in spite of peer review. Science is not unique in making this error. However, love it or hate it, peer review, for the present time at least, is here to stay. In this article, Philippa Benson, Managing Editor of Science Advances (the first open access journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science), discusses the merits of peer review. Dr Benson has extensive experience in the publishing world and was Executive Director of PJB Consulting, a not-for-profit organisation supporting clients on issues related to converting to full electronic publishing workflows as well as challenges working with international authors and publishers. Her clients included the Public Library of Science journals, the American Society for Nutrition and the de Beaumont Foundation. She recently co-authored a book, What Editors Want: An Author’s Guide to Scientific Journal Publishing (University of Chicago Press), which helps readers understand and navigate the publishing process in high impact science and technical journals. Her master’s and doctorate degrees are from Carnegie Mellon University. JYOTI SHAH Commissioning Editor References 1. Eaton KK . Editorial: when is a peer review journal not a peer review journal?

Transformation of the public broadcasting systems in Croatia and Macedonia as indicators of democratic transformation
Authors: Spasovska Katerina , Imre Iveta 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
This article is a comparative analysis of the transition of the public broadcasting system in Croatia (HRT) and Macedonia (MRT) from state control to a public broadcasting system. Croatia, a European Union (EU) member, and Macedonia, an EU candidate, have followed the European dual broadcasting model and therefore should have well-developed public service broadcasting (PSBs). However, these two television stations today are non-functioning centralized organizations highly influenced by politics with too many employees and no proactive leaders capable of handling the task. This article concludes that neither the Croatian HRT nor the Macedonian MRT has transformed to become effective independent PSB because although the legislative framework in each country is ostensibly ‘good’, having passed the scrutiny of the EU accession process, these frameworks have still resulted in strengthened political control of the public service stations.

Impact of site-preparation on soil-surface CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes and litter decomposition in a clear-cut in Sweden
Authors: Mjöfors Kristina , Strömgren Monika , Nohrstedt Hans-Örjan , Gärdenäs Annemieke 
Published: September 2015

Boreal forest soil contains significant amounts of organic carbon. Soil disturbance, caused for example by site preparation or stump extraction, may increase decomposition and thus lead to higher CO emissions, contributing to global warming. The aim of this study was to quantify responses of soil-surface CO fluxes (R) and litter (needle and root) decomposition rates following various kinds of soil disturbance commonly caused by mechanical site preparation and stump harvest. For this purpose four treatments were applied in a clear-cut site in central Sweden: i) removal of the humus layer and top 2 cm of mineral soil, ii) placement of a humus layer and 2Â cm of mineral soil upside down on top of undisturbed soil, forming a double humus layer buried under mineral soil, iii) heavy mixing of the humus layer and mineral soil, and iv) no disturbance (control). R measurements were acquired with a portable respiration system during two growing seasons. To assess the treatmentsâ effects on litter decomposition rates, needles or coarse roots (Ãâ=â6 mm) were incubated in litterbags at positions they would be located after the treatments (buried, or on top of the soil). The results indicate that site preparation-simulating treatments have no effect or may significantly reduce, rather than increase, CO emissions during the following two years. They also show that buried litter decomposes more rapidly than litter on the surface, but in other respects the treatments have little effect on litter decomposition rates.22ss2

Corrections for x-ray absorption by a crystal of arbitrary shape
Authors: Wuensch Bernhardt J . , Prewitt C. T . 
Published: September 2015

Auszug
Ein direktes Verfahren zur Berechnung der Absorptionskorrektur mittels Rechenanlagen wird für die Weissenberg-equi-inclination-Methode, für die Euler-Wiege und die Präzessionsmethode beschrieben. Das Verfahren ist auf Kristalle mit einspringenden Winkeln anwendbar. Es ist jedoch auf solche Objektformen beschränkt, die sich durch Kombinationen analytisch ausdrückbarer Funktionen beschreiben lassen.
Das Kristallvolumen wird in Volumenelemente unterteilt; diese werden durch eine Menge von Punkten eines räumlichen Rasters vertreten. Die Rasterpunkte sind in Bruchteilen der maximalen Kristallabmessungen festgelegt; diejenigen, die außerhalb des Kristallvolumens liegen, werden ausgeschlossen. Für Kristalle zentrosymmetrischer Gestalt braucht nur die Hälfte der im Kristall enthaltenen Rasterpunkte betrachtet zu werden.
Auf den Kristall bezogene Einheitsvektoren für den einfallenden und den gebeugten Strahl werden für jede Interferenz eingeführt. Diese Vektoren sind in Gitterkonstanten der reziproken Zelle ausgedrückt und in einer Form dargestellt, die für die Auswertung mit Hilfe von Rechenanlagen geeignet ist.
Die Abstände von jedem Rasterpunkt bis zur Kristalloberfläche sind bestimmt als Vielfache der Vektoren; ihre Summierung ergibt den Durchlässigkeitsfaktor. Hat der Kristall einspringende Winkel, so sind die Wegstrecken daraufhin zu prüfen, wieweit sie außerhalb des Kristalls verlaufen.
Über die Anwendung des Verfahrens durch ein FORTRAN-Programm und über die Geschwindigkeit und Genauigkeit der Rechnung wird in einer späteren Mitteilung berichtet.

El valor mediático de la violencia
Authors: Redondo García Marta 
Published: September 2015

En el sistema actual de medios, acontecimientos de muy variada índole funcionan como insumos en la producción de noticias y se posibilita la competencia entre ellos en la jerarquía informativa. Aquellos hechos que sean capaces de interesar, atraer, subyugar a un mayor número de personas, suben puestos en el escalafón, dado que su presencia posibilita una mejor recepción del producto periodístico. La comunicación aborda cómo, dentro de esta lógica, la violencia se encumbra como valor noticia apetecido, dado el inevitable impacto que su aparición genera. Este privilegio conduce a una “sobrerrepresentación” de la violencia en los medios no equiparable a la violencia que la sociedad soporta en la realidad. Puesto que la violencia es considerada como un valor noticioso destacado y deseable, en ocasiones, el sensacionalismo contribuye a exagerar e incluso falsificar su presencia con el fin de intensificar el gancho informativo. Si el conflicto y la violencia no existen o aparecen desleídos, pueden llegar a ser forzados para mantener a la audiencia en alerta. La comunicación aporta ejemplos de cómo los medios extreman la realidad tensándola hacia sus manifestaciones más violentas y no sólo en las informaciones a priori más proclives a seguir ese proceso como los sucesos sino también en la actualidad política o el deporte. Reconociendo la naturaleza inherentemente humana de la violencia, la comunicación constata la esquizofrenia de la sociedad actual que por un lado condena la violencia formalmente, a través del derecho y la moral, y por otro vive, a través de los medios, inundada de hechos e imágenes violentas, favoreciéndolos en su sistema informativo.

Discursos para la “sociedad de la información”: un análisis crítico sobre ciudades digitales en Argentina
Authors: Gabriela Yeremian Ana , Lía Remondino Georgina 
Published: September 2015

Este trabajo presenta una mirada crítica sobre aquellos discursos que desde diversos ámbitos promocionan a la llamada “Sociedad de la Información” (SI). Atendemos a ellos porque motivan en la actualidad prácticas particulares que modifican formas de intervención en el espacio público, como es el caso de las “ciudades digitales”. En un primer momento reflexionamos -en base a aportes de la filosofía de la técnica, de la sociología y la comunicación social- sobre las promesas de la SI como modelo de sociedad y el valor que en él adquieren las “tecnologías de la información y la comunicación” (TICs). Sostenemos que la SI y las TICs se encarnan en dispositivos, prácticas y discursos situados en sociedades y actores concretos. Seguidamente, analizamos algunos proyectos de “ciudades digitales” en Argentina que resultan de especial interés para revisar los modos en que la SI permea políticas públicas, generando sentidos en relación a los modos de concebir a la ciudad, a los actores sociales y a su vínculo con las instancias gubernamentales. En las conclusiones compartimos algunas reflexiones sobre las modalidades con que estos discursos delimitan “lo público” y en la centralidad que adquiere la comunicación para pensar las ciudades y los modos de vida contemporáneos.
Nietzsche im Film. Projektionen und Götzendämmerungen
Authors: Gerhardt (Hrsg.) Volker , Reschke (Hrsg.) Renate 
Published: September 2015

Zusammenfassung
Nietzsche im Film ist ein Thema, das noch immer zu den Desiderata der Nietzsche-Forschung zu rechnen ist. Zwar haben sich, vorrangig im Kontext von Kunstausstellungen, in denen der Philosoph zum Darstellungsobjekt gemacht worden ist, auch Stimmen gemeldet, die sich für Nietzsche als Filmfigur interessierten, aber das gesamte Panorama der Filmlandschaften unter der Optik von Person und Werk Nietzsches, seinen Gestaltungsideen und philosophischen Inhalten zu besichtigen, steht noch immer aus. Vorliegender Band kann diese Lücke nicht schließen, will aber mit seinen Beiträgen im Nietzscheschen Sinne ‘Fingerzeige’ geben, die Leerstellen mit Interpretationsangeboten zu besetzen, die weiterer Forschungsarbeit Anregung sein wollen. Die Beiträge richten daher ihr Augenmerk sowohl auf Spiel- und Dokumentarfilme, in denen der Philosoph in persona zum Thema wird, ebenso aber auf solche Filmarbeiten, in denen seine Welt- und Menschenvorstellungen aufgenommen und verarbeitet werden (vom frühen deutschen Film bis Hollywood, von Filmklassikern bis zu neuen Filmemachern). Zudem geht es um denkerisch experimentelle Überlegungen, Nietzsches Art des Denkens in die Nähe filmischen Denkens zu rücken — um in beiden der Projektionsarbeit, der produktiven Verbindung von Fiktion und Realität, Medienabhängigkeit und Bild- resp. Sprachmächtigkeit nachzugehen. Bis zur Zertrümmerung von Götzen, die vorher produziert und angebetet worden waren. Unter anderem vom Medium Film selbst, von dem sie dann entzaubert werden.

Background and aims. We aimed to study prevalence and the predictive factors of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) defined by the fatty liver index (FLI) in type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM).Methods. Three hundred and eighty-one T2DM outpatients who regularly attended a Consulting Clinic in Cluj were retrospectivelly included. FLI, a surrogate steatosis biomarker based on body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), triglycerides (TGL) and gammaglutamyl-transferase (GGT) was used to assess NAFLD in all patients. Anthropometric and biochemical parameters were measured. Hepatic steatosis (HS) was evaluated by ultrasonography.Results. NAFLD-FLI (defined as FLI >60) was correlated with HS evaluated by ultrasound (r=0.28; p<0.001). NAFLD-FLI was detected in 79% of T2DM. The prevalence of obesity in NAFLD-FLI patients was 80%. Of the patients with normal alanine aminotransferase (ALAT), 73.8 % had NAFLD. At univariate analysis, NAFLD-FLI was correlated with age (r= -0.14; p=0.007), sex (r=0.20; p<0.001), LDL cholesterol (r=0.12; p=0.032), HDL cholesterol (r = -0.13; p=0.015), ALAT (r=0.20; p<0.001) and ASAT (r=0.19; p<0.001). At multiple regression analysis, sex, ALAT and LDL-cholesterol were independent predictors of NAFLD-FLI. After logistic regression model, ALAT, LDL-cholesterol, HOMA-IR were good independent predictors of NAFLD-FLI.Conclusions. NAFLD-FLI could be useful to identify NAFLD in T2DM patients. Subjects with T2DM had a high prevalence of NADLD-FLI even with normal ALAT levels . Our findings showed that sex, ALAT, LDL cholesterol and IR were significant and independent factors associated with the presence of NAFLD in T2DM subjects.
