AbstractDiamagnetic oxides can, under certain conditions, become ferromagnetic at room temperature and therefore are promising candidates for future material in spintronic devices. Contrary to early predictions, doping ZnO with uniformly distributed magnetic ions is not essential to obtain ferromagnetic samples. Instead, the nanostructure seems to play the key role, as room temperature ferromagnetism was also found in nanograined, undoped ZnO. However, the origin of room temperature ferromagnetism in primarily non–magnetic oxides like ZnO is still unexplained and a controversial subject within the scientific community. Using low energy muon spin relaxation in combination with SQUID and TEM techniques, we demonstrate that the magnetic volume fraction is strongly related to the sample volume fraction occupied by grain boundaries. With molecular dynamics and density functional theory we find ferromagnetic coupled electron states in ZnO grain boundaries. Our results provide evidence and a microscopic model for room temperature ferromagnetism in oxides.

AbstractEffective response to infectious disease epidemics requires focused control measures in areas predicted to be at high risk of new outbreaks. We aimed to test whether mobile operator data could predict the early spatial evolution of the 2010 Haiti cholera epidemic. Daily case data were analysed for 78 study areas from October 16 to December 16, 2010. Movements of 2.9 million anonymous mobile phone SIM cards were used to create a national mobility network. Two gravity models of population mobility were implemented for comparison. Both were optimized based on the complete retrospective epidemic data, available only after the end of the epidemic spread. Risk of an area experiencing an outbreak within seven days showed strong dose-response relationship with the mobile phone-based infectious pressure estimates. The mobile phone-based model performed better (AUC 0.79) than the retrospectively optimized gravity models (AUC 0.66 and 0.74, respectively). Infectious pressure at outbreak onset was significantly correlated with reported cholera cases during the first ten days of the epidemic (p < 0.05). Mobile operator data is a highly promising data source for improving preparedness and response efforts during cholera outbreaks. Findings may be particularly important for containment efforts of emerging infectious diseases, including high-mortality influenza strains.

Abstract
We examined whether a hyperthermophilic microbial fuel cell (MFC) would be technically feasible. Two-chamber MFC reactors were inoculated with subsurface microorganisms indigenous to formation water from a petroleum reservoir and were started up at operating temperature 80 °C. The MFC generated a maximum current of 1.3 mA 45 h after the inoculation. Performance of the MFC improved with an increase in the operating temperature; the best performance was achieved at 95 °C with the maximum power density of 165 mWm−2, which was approximately fourfold higher than that at 75 °C. Thus, to our knowledge, our study is the first to demonstrate generation of electricity in a hyperthermophilic MFC (operating temperature as high as 95 °C). Scanning electron microscopy showed that filamentous microbial cells were attached on the anode surface. The anodic microbial consortium showed limited phylogenetic diversity and primarily consisted of hyperthermophilic bacteria closely related to Caldanaerobacter subterraneus and Thermodesulfobacterium commune.

Published: March 2015

Abstract
A hyperthermophilic archaeon was isolated from a terrestrial hot spring on Kodakara Island, Japan and designated as Thermoproteus sp. glucose dehydrogenase (GDH-1). Cell extracts from cells grown in medium supplemented with glucose exhibited NAD(P)-dependent glucose dehydrogenase activity. The enzyme (TgGDH) was purified and found to display a strict preference for d-glucose. The gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, resulting in the production of a soluble and active protein. Recombinant TgGDH displayed extremely high thermostability and an optimal temperature higher than 85 °C, in addition to its strict specificity for d-glucose. Despite its thermophilic nature, TgGDH still exhibited activity at 25 °C. We confirmed that the enzyme could be applied for glucose measurements at ambient temperatures, suggesting a potential of the enzyme for use in measurements in blood samples.
The Translations of a Humanist Ship Captain: Jean Parmentier’s 1529 Voyage to Sumatra*
Authors: Wintroub Michael 
Published: March 2015

AbstractThis article uses the multifaceted meaning of the wordtranslationas an analytic key to understand and analyze social and epistemic change in early modern France.Translationis here taken to mean not simply the rendering of one language into another, but also a physical displacement from one location to another, and the movement of knowledge and expertise from one discipline (and social status) to another. The manifold ideas and practices associated with translation are used to chart the voyage of Jean Parmentier, a humanist, poet, and ship captain from Dieppe, as he guided his ship and crew to Sumatra in 1529.
Opioid-induced Respiratory Depression Is Only Partially Mediated by the preBötzinger Complex in Young and Adult Rabbits In Vivo
Authors: Stucke Astrid G. , Miller Justin R. , Prkic Ivana , Zuperku Edward J. , Hopp Francis A. , Stuth Eckehard A. E. 
Published: March 2015

AbstractAbstract
In an in vivo rabbit model, the preBötzinger Complex partially mediates opioid effects on respiratory phase timing. The preBötzinger Complex does not mediate the opioid-induced depression of respiratory rate.

Background:
The preBötzinger Complex (preBC) plays an important role in respiratory rhythm generation. This study was designed to determine whether the preBC mediated opioid-induced respiratory rate depression at clinically relevant opioid concentrations in vivo and whether this role was age dependent.

Methods:
Studies were performed in 22 young and 32 adult New Zealand White rabbits. Animals were anesthetized, mechanically ventilated, and decerebrated. The preBC was identified by the tachypneic response to injection of d,l-homocysteic acid. (1) The μ-opioid receptor agonist [d-Ala2,N-Me-Phe4,Gly-ol]-enkephalin (DAMGO, 100 μM) was microinjected into the bilateral preBC and reversed with naloxone (1 mM) injection into the preBC. (2) Respiratory depression was achieved with intravenous remifentanil (0.08 to 0.5 μg kg−1 min−1). Naloxone (1 mM) was microinjected into the preBC in an attempt to reverse the respiratory depression.

Results:
(1) DAMGO injection depressed respiratory rate by 6 ± 8 breaths/min in young and adult rabbits (mean ± SD, P < 0.001). DAMGO shortened the inspiratory and lengthened the expiratory fraction of the respiratory cycle by 0.24 ± 0.2 in adult and young animals (P < 0.001). (2) During intravenous remifentanil infusion, local injection of naloxone into the preBC partially reversed the decrease in inspiratory fraction/increase in expiratory fraction in young and adult animals (0.14 ± 0.14, P < 0.001), but not the depression of respiratory rate (P = 0.19). PreBC injections did not affect respiratory drive. In adult rabbits, the contribution of non-preBC inputs to expiratory phase duration was larger than preBC inputs (3.5 [−5.2 to 1.1], median [25 to 75%], P = 0.04).

Conclusions:
Systemic opioid effects on respiratory phase timing can be partially reversed in the preBC without reversing the depression of respiratory rate.
The making of a glass slipper
Authors: Adamson Maria 
Published: March 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to deploy the concept of the “glass slipper” to unpack the construction of systematic patterns of inclusion and exclusion along the lines of gender, age and class in the emerging, female-dominated profession of psychological counselling in Russia.Design/methodology/approach– The study draws on an analysis of 26 in-depth qualitative interviews with practising counsellors in Russia.Findings– Drawing on the glass slipper concept, the article demonstrates how seemingly neutral discursive “rules” of professional conduct articulated by counsellors create an association between a collective professional identity and the social identities of typical practitioners, making this profession appear most suitable for middle-aged, middle-class women. The findings also show how certain embodied identities – in this case masculinity – may be able to “fit” into a slipper that was not made for them.Originality/value– The paper extends the understanding of the dynamics of inequality patterns in a feminized profession in the Russian context by unveiling previously underexplored patterns of marginalization along the lines of class and age. It also strengthens the collective-associative view of occupational identity and extends the glass slipper concept by exposing the mechanisms of body-work association in this profession and demonstrating that certain identity characteristics may be more universally privileged in the construction of professional identities.
Native American cultural influences on career self-schemas and MBA fit
Authors: Verbos Amy Klemm , Kennedy Deanna M. , Gladstone Joseph S. , Birmingham Carolyn 
Published: March 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to develop two new constructs (career self-schemas and career locus) and present a conceptual model of the influence of Native American culture on MBA fit.Design/methodology/approach– Using a social cognitive lens on career theory, the authors examine the possible effects of cultural influences on the fit between Native Americans’ career goals and an MBA. Specifically, the authors propose that cultural factors contribute to career self-schemas inconsistent with Native American perceptions of business graduate education. Career self-schemas are an individual’s cognitive map of the self in his or her career.Findings– The conceptual model proposes that aspects of career self-schemas may explain lagging Native Americans’ MBA fit: the MBA is culturally inconsistent, and a community career locus.Research limitations/implications– The model needs to be tested empirically. This research has implications that extend beyond Native Americans to help explain the career aspirations of other diverse groups.Social implications– Native Americans are, in recent years, engaging in economic development that would benefit from Native Americans with MBAs. The authors make recommendations for increasing Native American interest in MBA programs.Originality/value– This paper introduces the constructs of career self-schemas and career locus to explain lagging MBA fit for Native Americans. The constructs may also be applied in other cultures and with other ethnic groups to explain differences in career choice. It may be particularly helpful in an international context.
Forecasting inflation in G-7 countries: an application of artificial neural network
Authors: Gupta Sanjeev , Kashyap Sachin 
Published: March 2015

Purpose
– The paper aims to evaluate different artificial neural network models and to suggest a suitable model for forecasting inflation in G-7 countries.

Design/methodology/approach
– The study applies different combinations of neural networks with hyperbolic tangent function using backpropagation learning with the steepest gradient descent technique to monthly data on Consumer Price Index (a measure of inflation) of the USA, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Canada.

Findings
– Predictions of inflation based on the Consumer Price Index for all the seven countries divulged that it is expected that the rate of inflation will decline marginally in the near future.

Practical implications
– The results proposed in this study will be a benchmark for policy-makers, economists and practitioners to forecast inflation and design policies accordingly.

Originality/value
– The paper’s findings provide strong evidence for policy-makers that while constructing models for forecasting inflation, the suggested models can be used to track the future rates of inflation and, further, they can apply that model in framing policies.
The next K-Wave and the challenge of global democracy
Authors: Wilenius Markku 
Published: March 2015

Purpose– The aim of the project on which this paper is based is to clarify – using Kondratieff theory of long-term socio-economic cycles – how the next (sixth) wave will look like. The focus lies in the socio-political aspect of change.Design/methodology/approach– The article is a short and partial summary of a major project called “The Sixth Wave”. Workshops and surveys have been run in Finland and in Silicon Valley, California.Findings– The project coordinators have been testing the theory of Kondratieff waves with various methods and have found it to be a convincing way to identify the patterns of change. It really brings in anticipatory power to its users.Research limitations/implications– There are lots of interesting implications of using K-Wave as a framework to understand next decades. More research regarding the future technologies in the K-Wave context should be undertaken.Practical implications– The author believes that the K-Wave framework can be also regarded as anticipatory tool for business. The heavy emphasis in the author’s K-wave theory on resource productivity as a technology driver for the next wave makes it obvious that all technologies and businesses that aim at performing with greater output with less material or energy input are regarded as winners of their respective schemes in the emerging wave as the demand for these services will rise dramatically.Social implications– The author hopes the article will help people understand how fundamental the change K-Wave engenders in terms of democracy and trust, and that the article will also provide a more comprehensive view towards the transformation we are experiencing. The author anticipates that the idea of corporate social responsibility will become much more compelling in the sixth wave framework.Originality/value– The project coordinators have given a whole new interpretation to the Kondratieff theory. They approach the theory with social science framework rather than customary economic framework, and have also tested their model with the project’s industrial partners.
Knowledge management and global climate change regime negotiations
Authors: Zakaria Mohamad 
Published: March 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the important factors that negotiators and policy-makers need to take into account while putting their strategies to negotiate global climate change regimes.

Design/methodology/approach
– This paper is based on qualitative research using the deductive approach. Integrating the theoretical and empirical material in the analysis is used to enhance the readers’ value and interest in the paper.

Findings
– Without deep understanding of why some international negotiations related to climate change have previously failed, it is difficult to successfully negotiate them in the future. Flexibility and openness during negotiations and to consider the views and concerns of all global actors in finding optimum solutions and cooperation are among the many essential factors that bring the world leaders into a compromise agreement and a global climate change regime. Knowledge management including taking into account the discussed factors may help the negotiators and public to be more prepared to understand the obstacles that may complicate negotiating the international climate change regimes.

Research limitations/implications
– This paper is not intended for those who have years of experience in climate change negotiations nor for those seeking deep theoretical knowledge about this topic.

Practical implications
– This paper has practical implications as it combines the theories of international relations with practical evidences from previous Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Social implications
– This paper is an essential read to students and young scientists, as well as to young policy-makers within the environmental politics.

Originality/value
– The paper deals with a very important and current issue and little has been published on the process of preparation for negotiating climate change negotiation. It covers some critical issues and determining factors in such negotiations.
Breaking the addictive cycle of the system: improving US criminal justice practices to address substance use disorders
Authors: Kopak Albert M. 
Published: March 2015

Purpose– Recent political commentary in the USA has suggested that there is great potential for current criminal justice practices designed for drug-involved offenders to be significantly overhauled in the near future. It is imperative to plan for these changes by assessing how well current programs serve drug-involved criminal justice populations. The paper aims to discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approach– This critical assessment begins with an overview of the most recent research on the prevalence and impact that substance use disorders have within the criminal justice system. Although the evidence demonstrates that relying on incarceration as a crime control method for drug-involved offenders has many shortcomings, there are innovative new programs being adopted across the country. Two of these promising programs are discussed, as well as the potential results that could be realized from integrating medication assisted treatment into appropriate criminal justice programs designed for drug-involved offenders.Findings– Incarceration is a failed practice for attending to the underlying reasons why many drug-involved offenders become involved in criminal activities. There are encouraging new programs emerging in different parts of the USA, but the inclusion of supplemental treatment options could further promote positive outcomes.Originality/value– The impending expansion of criminal justice programs for drug-involved offenders must consider how innovative new programs can be fused with supplemental treatment options to achieve the best results.
Smoking cessation in male prisoners: a literature review
Authors: Djachenko Ashleigh , St John Winsome , Mitchell Creina 
Published: March 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to review the available literature relating to smoking cessation (SC) for the male prisoner population.Design/methodology/approach– Databases PubMed, CINAHL and MEDLINE were searched for English language studies from 1990 to 2012. The authors identified 12 papers examining SC in male prisoners. Full-text articles were analysed for inclusion.Findings– A total of 12 studies were identified for inclusion. Four studies focused on forced abstinence (a smoking ban) while the remainder looked at various combinations of nicotine replacement, pharmacology and behavioural techniques. No robust studies were found that examined nursing approaches to SC for the prisoner population. The evidence shows a strong “pro-smoking” culture in prison and that many prisoners continue to smoke irrespective of an enforced ban. However, SC strategies can be successful if implemented systematically and supported by consistent policies.Research limitations/implications– Female-only prisoner studies were excluded as females comprise just 7 per cent of the Australian prisoner population. The analysis does not differentiate between maximum- or minimum-security prisons, or length of prison sentence. Results cannot be generalised to other forms of detention such as police custody or immigration detention centres. Studies were not appraised for quality, as exclusion on that basis would render further exploration untenable. The analysis was presented in a narrative rather than meta-analytical format and may be subject to interpretation.Practical implications– This paper provides a foundation on which to build further research evidence into the smoking behaviour of prisoners. This information can be used to advocate for healthier public policy for a vulnerable and marginalised population.Originality/value– To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first literature review into SC interventions in prisons. The authors apply the findings of this literature review to the five strategies for health promotion to propose a population approach to smoking cessation in male prisoners. Recommendations specific to the correctional environment are outlined for consideration by correctional health professionals.
Transformers: a programme for people with an intellectual disability and emotion regulation difficulties
Authors: McWilliams Jenna , de Terte Ian , Leathem Janet , Malcolm Sandra , Watson Jared 
Published: March 2015

Purpose
– The Transformers programme is a community-based intervention for people with an intellectual disability (ID) who have emotion regulation difficulties, which can manifest as aggressive and challenging behaviour. The programme was adapted from the Stepping Stones programme (Oxnam and Gardner, 2011) – an emotion regulation programme for offenders with an ID who live in an inpatient setting. The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of the Transformers programme that has been implemented at an ID service, which provides secure and supervised care to people who have been convicted of an imprisonable offence or have high and complex behaviour needs.

Design/methodology/approach
– The Transformers programme is delivered in weekly sessions over a six-month period in a group format. The focus is on helping group members to develop skills in recognising and understanding negative emotions and learning skills to cope effectively with such emotions. Treatment covers a variety of modules including relaxation, goal setting, chain analysis, emotion recognition, and emotion regulation. Specific strategies used include role-plays, DVDs, and quizzes.

Findings
– This paper presents the rationale, developmental history, and description of a specific approach to the treatment of emotion regulation difficulties.

Originality/value
– The paper aims to inform health professionals working in the field of ID.
