Dissemination 2.0 - the role of social media in research dissemination
Authors: Brandtzæg Petter Bae 
Published: December 2014

Dissemination is defined as "the act of diffusing knowledge". The traditional ways of research dissemination, is through the publications of papers and to attend conferences. Traditional dissemination is important, but not very accessible, transparent or visible. However, the principles and possibilities of disseminating research have changed with the introduction of social media – dissemination 2.0. Dissemination 2.0. is about researchers taking control over the dissemination process by the exploitation of social media. Social media is allowing new forms to present research, in conversation, networking and engagement with different audiences, through various media. Over 2 million research scientist are currently using social media (research) tools like Research Gate and Academia.edu, some are also using more broader social media tools such as blogs, SlideShare, Twitter and Facebook. This talk illuminates dissemination 2.0. by presenting some central examples in ways researchers can use social media to disseminate their research.

Published: December 2014

See video of the presentation.Toward the end of the two-year EC-funded project Mediterranean Open Access Network (MedOANet; www.medoanet.eu) this presentation offers a summary of its activities and specifically focuses on the culminating outcome of the project, the guidelines for policy development, directed to research performing organizations and research funders in six countries: Greece, Italy, Turkey, France, Spain and Portugal. The guidelines are to be released in English in all six languages of the project partners in September 2013.Purpose of the project is to support and strengthen coordinated policy development among funders and research organizations of the six countries (www.medoanet.eu). For two years the project has enabled open access policy developments through activities at the national level, such as the development of task forces and national conferences that brought together major stakeholders and policymakers, as well as regional developments through a European workshop in Braga, Portugal in early spring 2013. The project has, further, mapped the open access policy situation in the six countries, the results of which are to be published in the early fall 2013. Three surveys carried in six countries among research funders, research performing organizations and publishers demonstrate that the momentum towards open access requires specific policy actions to actually render publicly funded research openly accessible to all.The guidelines under preparation by the project discuss the key principles and processes to be followed by funding and research performing organizations in establishing open access policies, highlighting the most important steps necessary in defining and implementing effective policies. Significantly, they also offer model policies for research funders and research performing organizations. The model policies have been elaborated on the basis of current models and recent relevant developments, and emphasize mandatory green open access. The proposed presentation will discuss their components in detail. The effect of the guidelines and model policies are eagerly awaited and already expected to be significant as a number of institutions in Greece and other countries are discussing adopting them together.
The Making of a Mandate: A Regional Approach to Open Access.
Authors: Stern Niels 
Published: December 2014

See video of the presentation.The Nordic co-operation is one of the world’s most extensive forms of regional collaboration involving Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Åland. The co-operation is realized through the Nordic Council of Ministers (NCM) and the Nordic Council with a yearly budget of approx. $ 175,000,000.The NCM has recently initiated an Open Access project which aims at defining an OA mandating policy and developing an open repository for all publications either published or funded by the NCM.In order to widen the scope of the NCM initiative and to align with international OA discussions the NCM has entered into dialogue with the research councils of the Nordic countries as well as with the European Commission (the NCM signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the EC about the implementation of the ERA in July 2012) and UNESCO. Alongside this dialogue the NCM is part of a network of intergovernmental organizations (IGO) where OA is high on the agenda (e.g. The World Bank and UNESCO already have published policies).The NCM wears at least three different hats in its OA mandate defining process: One as an institutional publisher, another as a research funder, and a third as an IGO. This split role gives several strengths and opportunities but also some weaknesses – and perhaps there are even some threats involved! For sure, it makes the discussion about the content of the mandate, the objectives of the NCM, and compliance measures more complex and interesting.The presentation will share with the audience:* a SWOT analysis of the NCM regional approach to formulating an OA mandate,* concrete examples and insight into the making of an OA mandate – the discussions, dilemmas, and dangers that arise during the process,* considerations on how to ensure compliance with the mandate.

Published: December 2014

Abstract
An experimental method of determining a qualitative two-dimensional image of the gas temperature in stationary atmospheric nonthermal plasma by spectral image processing was presented. In the experiment, a steady-state glow corona discharge was generated by applying a positive DC voltage to a rod-plane electrode in synthetic air. The changes in the gas temperature distribution due to the amplitude of applied voltage and the ambient gas pressure were investigated. Spectral images of a positive DC glow corona were taken using a gated ICCD camera with ultranarrow band-pass filters, corresponding to the head and tail of a N2 second positive system band (0–2). The qualitative gas temperature was obtained from the emission intensity ratio between the head and tail of the N2 second positive system band (0–2). From the results, we confirmed that the gas temperature and its distribution of a positive DC glow corona increased with increasing applied voltage. In particular, just before the sparkover voltage, a distinctly high temperature region was formed in the positive DC glow at the tip of the rod electrode. In addition, the gas temperature decreased and its distribution spread diffusely with decreasing ambient gas pressure.
The Ifugao Rice Terraces Tourism: Status, Problems and Concerns
Authors: DULNUAN EULALIE D. 
Published: December 2014

This paper presents the status, problems and future direction of tourism inIfugao, along with the complexities that result from the dichotomy of doing tourism and conservation at the same time. Tourism in Ifugao has the rice terraces and/or culture as its resource base. While there are five rice terraces cluster whichare cited as World Heritage sites, tourism is unevenly spread in the province. Itis concentrated in the municipality of Banaue and barely starting in the otherHeritage areas. Thus the benefits of tourism are not yet felt in the other Heritagesites. A way forward is to make the tourism master plan that will direct tourismin Ifugao towards sustainable tourism development. This paper concludes thattourism could be a means to maintain tourism and to conserve the culture.Keywords: Ifugao tourism, conservation, sustainable tourism development, descriptivedesign, Philippines

Published: December 2014

Mangroves play a crucial role in marine ecosystem since it supports vital elements in the food chain. This study was a descriptive survey on the assessment of mangroves conducted to identify the mangrove structures in the coastal areas of Enclaro, Binalbagan. There were four sampling sites namely: Sitio Serena, Sitio Vietnam Rose, Sitio Alo and Sitio Tap-ok. The mangroves were assessed in terms of species, diversity, abundance, density and stages of life cycle, economic and environmental values. The quadrat method and the transect plots were used to perform floristic inventory of mangrove stands. There were 10, 4, 6 and 6 species of mangroves in Serena, Vietnam Rose, Alo and Tapok sites, respectively. Rhizophora mucronata comprised 55.22% of the total stands in Serena and Avicennia marina which covered 72.21% in Vietnam Rose, 81.19% in Alo and 40% in Tap-ok. Serena had the most diverse mangrove species. Avicennia marina was the most abundant and dominant mangrove species which covered 66.47% of the total population. The mangroves in Vietnam Rose had the highest density of 15.94 mangroves per square meter. The stages of mangroves’ life cycle were 50.67% seedlings, samplings comprised 25.20% and mature mangroves composed 24.13% of the total population. Sitio Alo had the least mangrove stand and the results of this study would serve as baseline information for the Local Government Units for mangroves and coastal ecosystems’ conservation, management and development.

Variation in Chlorophyll a and b in the Seagrass Halodule in Central Visayas, Philippines
Authors: WAGEY BILLY THEODORUS 
Published: December 2014

Chlorophyll content of seagrass leaves varies among species and habitats byat least a factor of five, and shows plastic responses to seasonal variations in light availability as well as direct experimental manipulation. This study generally attempted to observe the relative amount of chlorophyll a, b content of Haloduleuninervis and Halodule pinifolia in Central Visayas, Philippines in relation tothese environmental factors which are: exposure, density, temperature, and lightintensity. Chlorophyll was determined using the equation of Jeffrey and Humprey(1975) whereas data gathered went through one way ANOVA followed byTukey’s Test. Significant variations were found in most photosynthetic parametersmeasured in this study. Overall, H. uninervis and H. pinifolia seems to obtainoptimal photosynthetic performances over a broad range of irradiances. Mainly,genus Halodule can be seen as a highlight species, which has also the ability to acclimate to low irradiances. in general, the result indicated that seagrasses tend to decrease the ratio of chlorophyll a:b by increasing the amount of chlorophyllb to compensate for the decline in light intensity in subtidal areas. Therefore, H.uninervis and H. pinifolia seem to have the ability of adjusting their chlorophyllcontent in performing optimal photosynthetic activity over a broad range of irradiance regimes.Keywords: Marine Ecology, chlorophyll content, seagrass, Halodule, experimental design,Philippines

Abstract
During pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), early ligation of critical vessels such as the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (IPDA) has been reported to reduce blood loss. Color Doppler flow imaging has become the useful diagnostic methods for the delineation of the anatomy. In this study, we assessed the utility of the intraoperative Doppler ultrasonography (Dop-US) guided vessel detection and tracking technique (Dop-Navi) for identifying critical arteries in order to reduce operative bleeding. Ninety patients who received PD for periampullary or pancreatic disease were enrolled. After 14 patients were excluded because of combined resection of portal vein or other organs, the remaining were assigned to 1 of 2 groups: patients for whom Dop-Navi was used (n = 37) and those for whom Dop-Navi was not used (n = 39; controls). We compared the ability of Dop-Navi to identify critical vessels to that of preoperative multi-detector computed tomography (MD-CT), using MD-CT data, as well as compared the perioperative status and postoperative outcome between the 2 patient groups. Intraoperative Dop-US was significantly superior to MD-CT in terms of identifying number of vessels and the ability to discriminate the IPDA from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) based on blood flow velocity. The Dop-Navi patients had shorter operation times (531 min versus 577 min; no significance) and smaller bleeding volumes (1120 mL versus 1590 mL; P &lt; 0.01) than the control patients without increasing postoperative complications. Intraoperative Dop-Navi method allows surgeons to clearly identify the IPDA during PD and to avoid injuries to major arteries.
Open Surgery for Hepatic Hydatid Disease

Abstract
Hydatid disease is a zoonosis caused by the larvae of Echinococcus granulosus. Humans are an intermediate host and are usually infected by direct contact with dogs or indirectly by contaminated foods. Hydatid disease mainly involves the liver and lungs. The disease can be asymptomatic. Imaging techniques such as ultrasonography and computed tomography are used for diagnosis. The growth of hydatid cysts can lead to complications. Communication between bile duct and cysts is a common complication. The goal of treatment for hydatid disease is to eliminate the parasite with minimum morbidity and mortality. There are 3 treatment options: surgery, chemotherapy, and interventional procedures. Medical treatment has low cure and high recurrence rates. Percutaneous treatment can be performed in select cases. There are many surgical approaches for managing hydatid cysts, although there is no best surgical technique, and conservative and radical procedures are used. Conservative procedures are usually preferred in endemic areas and are easy to perform but are associated with high morbidity and recurrence rates. In these procedures, the parasite is sterilized using a scolicidal agent, and the cyst is evacuated. Radical procedures include hepatic resections and pericystectomy, which have high intraoperative risk and low recurrence rates. Radical procedures should be performed in hepatobiliary centers. The most common postoperative complications are biliary fistulas and cavity-related complications. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography can be used to diagnose and treat biliary system complications. Endoscopic sphincterotomy, biliary stenting, and nasobiliary tube drainage are effective for treating postoperative biliary fistulas.
Modeling the interaction between the solar wind and Saturn's magnetosphere by the AMR‐CESE‐MHD method

Published: December 2014

AbstractIn this paper, the space‐time conservation element and solution element (CESE) method in general curvilinear coordinates is successfully applied to the three‐dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the interaction between the solar wind and Saturn's magnetosphere on a six‐component grid system. As a new numerical model modified for the study of the interaction between the solar wind and Saturn's magnetosphere, we obtain the large‐scale configurations of Saturn's magnetosphere under the steady solar wind with due southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) conditions. The numerical results clearly indicate that the global structure of Saturn's magnetosphere is strongly affected by the rotation of Saturn as well as by the solar wind. The subsolar standoff distances of the magnetopause and the bow shock in our model are consistent with those predicted by the data‐based empirical models. Our MHD results also show that a plasmoid forms in the magnetotail under the effect of the fast planetary rotation. However, somewhat differently from the previous models, we find that there are two flow vortices generated on the duskside under due southward IMF at Saturn. On the duskside, the clockwise one closer to the planet is excited by the velocity shear between the rotational flows and the sunward flows, while the anticlockwise one is generated from the velocity shear between the tailward flows along the magnetopause and the sunward flows.

ObjectivePatients with Parkinson disease (PD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are vulnerable to dementia and frequently experience memory deficits. This could be the result of dopamine dysfunction in corticostriatal networks (salience, central executive networks, and striatum) and/or the medial temporal lobe. Our aim was to investigate whether dopamine dysfunction in these regions contributes to memory impairment in PD.MethodsWe used positron emission tomography imaging to compare D2 receptor availability in the cortex and striatal (limbic and associative) dopamine neuron integrity in 4 groups: memory‐impaired PD (amnestic MCI; n = 9), PD with nonamnestic MCI (n = 10), PD without MCI (n = 11), and healthy controls (n = 14). Subjects were administered a full neuropsychological test battery for cognitive performance.ResultsMemory‐impaired patients demonstrated more significant reductions in D2 receptor binding in the salience network (insular cortex and anterior cingulate cortex [ACC] and the right parahippocampal gyrus [PHG]) compared to healthy controls and patients with no MCI. They also presented reductions in the right insula and right ACC compared to nonamnestic MCI patients. D2 levels were correlated with memory performance in the right PHG and left insula of amnestic patients and with executive performance in the bilateral insula and left ACC of all MCI patients. Associative striatal dopamine denervation was significant in all PD patients.InterpretationDopaminergic differences in the salience network and the medial temporal lobe contribute to memory impairment in PD. Furthermore, these findings indicate the vulnerability of the salience network in PD and its potential role in memory and executive dysfunction. Ann Neurol 2015;77:269–280

AbstractSmoking is estimated to cause about half of all bladder cancer cases. Case–control studies have provided evidence of an inverse association between fruit and vegetable intake and bladder cancer risk. As part of the World Cancer Research/American Institute for Cancer Research Continuous Update Project, we conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of prospective studies to assess the dose–response relationship between fruit and vegetables and incidence and mortality of bladder cancer. We searched PubMed up to December 2013 for relevant prospective studies. We conducted highest compared with lowest meta‐analyses and dose–response meta‐analyses using random effects models to estimate summary relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and used restricted cubic splines to examine possible nonlinear associations. Fifteen prospective studies were included in the review. The summary RR for an increase of 1 serving/day (80 g) were 0.97 (95% CI: 0.95–0.99) I2 = 0%, eight studies for fruits and vegetables, 0.97 (95% CI: 0.94–1.00, I2 = 10%, 10 studies) for vegetables and 0.98 (95% CI: 0.96–1.00, I2 = 0%, 12 studies) for fruits. Results were similar in men and women and in current, former and nonsmokers. Amongst fruits and vegetables subgroups, for citrus fruits the summary RR for the highest compared with the lowest intake was 0.87 (95% CI: 0.76–0.99, I2 = 0%, eight studies) and for cruciferous vegetables there was evidence of a nonlinear relationship (P = 0.001). The current evidence from cohort studies is not consistent with a role for fruits and vegetables in preventing bladder cancer.
Reducing wireless multi‐hop delay via RSU re‐routing in vehicular wireless networks
Authors: Wang Kuo‐Lung , Wang Tsan‐Pin , Tseng Chien‐Chao 
Published: December 2014

SummaryVehicular wireless networks offer wireless multi‐hop communications between vehicles and roadside units (RSUs). To reduce deployment cost, the distance between two RSUs could be long; that is, the communications between an RSU and a vehicle may be carried out through multi‐hops among intermediate vehicles. When a vehicle is driven from one RSU to another, the wireless multi‐hop delay becomes more serious as the number of multi‐hop relays increases. The wireless multi‐hop delay is critical for some emergency service. For instance, in a traffic accident, when a patient was sent to the hospital by ambulance, the life information of the patient must be transmitted to the hospital on time through the multi‐hop wireless network. If the ambulance is moved from one RSU to another, the wireless multi‐hop delay becomes more and more serious as the ambulance is closing to another RSU. In this paper, we propose an RSU re‐routing strategy that dynamically alters multi‐hop communications until the best RSU with the shortest path using location information is found. Moreover, we compare the proposed strategy with the existing strategy in terms of broadcasting costs, re‐routing delay, and wireless multi‐hop delay of data transmission. Performance results show that the proposed strategy can reduce the wireless multi‐hop delay significantly. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
