Debt and Creative Destruction: Why Could Subsidizing Corporate Debt Be Optimal?
Authors: He Zhiguo , Matvos Gregor 
Published: August 2015

The existing theoretical literature provides little justification for a corporate debt subsidy. We illustrate the welfare benefit of this subsidy and study how the social costs and benefits change with the duration of industry distress. In our model, two firms engage in socially wasteful competition for survival in a declining industry. Firms differ on two dimensions: exogenous productivity and endogenously chosen amount of debt financing, resulting in a two-dimensional war of attrition. Debt financing increases incentives to exit, which, although costly for the firm, is socially beneficial. These benefits decline as industry distress shortens. Our normative model sheds light on why the debt tax subsidy still persists around the world. Analogously, the model can also rationalize a seemingly ad hoc feature of the U.S. tax system, which subsidizes the conflict of interest between debt and equity regarding firm liquidation.

Abstract
A record spanning ten years of non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC) data from the Pico Mountain Observatory (PMO), Pico Island, Azores, Portugal, was analyzed for seasonal NMHC behavior, atmospheric processing, and trends, focusing on ethane and propane. The location of this site in the central North Atlantic, at an elevation of 2225 m asl, allows these data to be used to investigate the background conditions and pollution transport events occurring in the lower free North Atlantic troposphere. The quantity ln([propane]/[ethane]) was used as an indicator of both photochemical processing and a marker for the occurrence of pollution transport events detected at the station. The Pico data were compared with three other continuous NMHC data sets from sites bordering the North Atlantic, i.e. the Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW) stations at Summit, Greenland, Hohenpeisssenberg, Germany, and Cape Verde, using ln([propane]/[ethane]) results as an indicator for the degree of photochemical processing (‘aging’) seen in the data. Comparisons of these three data sets showed some significant differences in the seasonal background and range of observed values. The statistical distribution of binned monthly data was determined, and individual sample events were then scaled to the monthly median observed value. Back trajectories, determined by the HYSPLIT model were used to investigate the geographic origin of the observed trace gases as a function of the degree of photochemical processing.
Results show that PMO samples have been subjected to a diversity of air transport and aging, from highly processed air to freshly emitted air throughout the year, and in particular during summer months. The predominant air transport is from North America, with only occasional influence from continental areas located east and southeast (Europe and Africa). The available record was found to be too variable and still too short to allow deciphering NMHC trends from the data.
Ethane and propane measurements at the PMO were compared with the MOZART-4 atmospheric chemistry and transport model at the appropriate time and location. The model was found to yield good agreement in the description of the lower range of atmospheric mole fractions observed, of the seasonal cycle, and the regional oxidation chemistry. However, ethane and propane enhancements in transport events were underestimated, indicating that after the ≥ 3 days of synoptic transport to PMO the spatial extent of plumes frequently is smaller than the 2.8°x2.8° (∼300 km) model grid resolution.
Performance of Cystatin C– and Creatinine-Based Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Equations Depends on Patient Characteristics
Authors: Meeusen Jeffrey W , Rule Andrew D , Voskoboev Nikolay , Baumann Nikola A , Lieske John C 
Published: August 2015

Abstract

BACKGROUND
The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guideline recommends use of a cystatin C–based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) to confirm creatinine-based eGFR between 45 and 59 mL · min−1 · (1.73 m2)−1. Prior studies have demonstrated that comorbidities such as solid-organ transplant strongly influence the relationship between measured GFR, creatinine, and cystatin C. Our objective was to evaluate the performance of cystatin C–based eGFR equations compared with creatinine-based eGFR and measured GFR across different clinical presentations.

METHODS
We compared the performance of the CKD-EPI 2009 creatinine-based estimated GFR equation (eGFRCr) and the newer CKD-EPI 2012 cystatin C–based equations (eGFRCys and eGFRCr-Cys) with measured GFR (iothalamate renal clearance) across defined patient populations. Patients (n = 1652) were categorized as transplant recipients (n = 568 kidney; n = 319 other organ), known chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients (n = 618), or potential kidney donors (n = 147).

RESULTS
eGFRCr-Cys showed the most consistent performance across different clinical populations. Among potential kidney donors without CKD [stage 2 or higher; eGFR &gt;60 mL · min−1 · (1.73 m2)−1], eGFRCys and eGFRCr-Cys demonstrated significantly less bias than eGFRCr; however, all 3 equations substantially underestimated GFR when eGFR was &lt;60 mL · min−1 · (1.73 m2)−1. Among transplant recipients with CKD stage 3B or greater [eGFR &lt;45 mL · min−1 · (1.73 m2)−1], eGFRCys was significantly more biased than eGFRCr. No clear differences in eGFR bias between equations were observed among known CKD patients regardless of eGFR range or in any patient group with a GFR between 45 and 59 mL · min−1 · (1.73 m2)−1.

CONCLUSIONS
The performance of eGFR equations depends on patient characteristics that are readily apparent on presentation. Among the 3 CKD-EPI equations, eGFRCr-Cys performed most consistently across the studied patient populations.
The vocational maturity and career choices of female industrial design students in Taiwanese universities
Authors: Yang Ming-Ying , Liao Yi-Ya , Chou Yung-Ping 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
Product and Industrial Design (ID) is frequently regarded as a masculine and maledominated profession. Female Taiwanese industrial designers, similar to those in other countries, have not been as active as men in this field. However, more female students are enrolled in ID programmes in Taiwan than are male students, with the total ratio of female students reaching 61 per cent countrywide. To understand the cause of such inactivity, investigating female ID students’ career choices as they complete professional education is crucial. This study investigated the vocational maturity and career choices of female ID students in Taiwan. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 417 female ID students from 24 departments belonging to one of 23 Taiwanese universities. The results show that vocational maturity was generally positive, but a significant proportion of women intend to work outside of ID, possibly due to an overly negative view of ID as an industry. The outcome can be used to guide educators to assist female ID talents plan their career and enhance their employment opportunities.
Art courses and Interior Design students
Authors: al-Murahhem Faredah Mohsen 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
This study sheds light on the influence of an artistic background on students’ outcomes, specifically students of the Interior Design (ID) course at Umm al-Qura University in Makkah-Saudi Arabia. It focuses on the first-year curriculum and its impact on the final outcomes. Case studies were observed of ID students studying art courses in their first year, over the subsequent period of up to five academic terms. The chosen cases were the second class of the major, where final presentations of some courses were analysed. Among the cases was one student who is artistically gifted, and her works were also evaluated. This study examines the assumption that artistic background may be reflected – by some means – in some of a student’s drawings and presentations of design projects. The study also demonstrated that early exposure to artistic methods and skills impacted on student confidence and presentation skills, and this diminished somewhat in the final year of study where newly acquired ID skills merged with the artistic skills.
Developing an inclusive curriculum of architecture for students with dyslexia
Authors: Holgate Peter 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
Design subjects, including architecture, tend to attract students with dyslexia. The relevant disciplinary skills of three-dimensional design and visual communications often align to these students’ academic strengths. However, as these students progress towards their final award, many appear to find the requirements for extended writing (in the forms of dissertations, reports, etc.), and self-directed personal organization and management to be problematic. A number of interventions, implemented in the architecture curriculum at Northumbria University over a period of five years, seek to provide academic support and alternative assessment methods for these students. The efficacy of these initiatives has been evaluated through a series of semi-structured interviews conducted with graduates of architecture. The enquiry concluded that the development of academic writing skills was viewed by graduating students with dyslexia as desirable with respect to further study and practice; alternative assessment methods provided both problems and opportunities in implementation. Concurrently, staff efforts to understand and manage the impact of dyslexia in higher education studies was highly appreciated in terms of developing self-efficacy and confidence in students’ abilities.

‘Pretty healthy’: Authenticity and the incorporation of beauty ideals into health discourse
Authors: Perry Felicity 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
This article examines how students at an urban high school in Aotearoa New Zealand navigate the relationship between beauty ideals and authenticity. The students privilege ‘personality’ over appearance, positioning appearance as detracting from personality. They conceive many appearance ideals to be ‘fake’, and believe that to present the self in line with these ideals is to present an inauthentic self. The students frame themselves as media literate, producing ‘sad’ Others who cannot ‘see through’ the mediated construction of beauty ideals. In addition to distancing themselves from these Others, the students use the tropes of fun and selfgrowth to frame their emulation of (and/or desire to emulate) appearance ideals as authentic expressions of their selves, rather than the desire to be seen as attractive. Most effectively, in line with the increasing amalgamation of beauty into health discourses, the students reposition appearance ideals as ‘health’ ideals, thus 28 incorporating appearance ideals into the sphere of the authentic. In doing so, the students distance themselves from the ‘sad’ feminized Other that is consumed with her looks, which allows them to position themselves as empowered rational subjects who adhere to beauty ideals ‘for themselves’ rather than for others.
Presidential dancing: The bodies of heads of state
Authors: Craig Maxine Leeds 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
Dominant western masculinity has been theorized as disembodied, in contrast to sensual, emotional and bodily-determined femininity. If this is the case, the US presidents should epitomize disembodied power. Yet presidents and presidential candidates routinely use their bodies to demonstrate their fit with positions of power. They pitch balls at the beginning of baseball season. Since the mid-1960s, one of the first public appearances of a newly elected president is his dance with the first lady at the inaugural ball. This article calls attention to the moving bodies of US presidents to see what they reveal about the relationship between physical movement and the appearance of power. It argues that presidents do political work through physical movement, including when they dance. As they dance alongside non-US visitors, or dance at inaugural balls, in televised appearances and White House social events, presidents position themselves in relation to constructions of racialized masculinity.
The conscripted metaphor
Authors: Shlah Zaid 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
This article explores the relationship between the language of the State and its influence, either seen or unseen, on the language of the writer. The article builds on the claims made by authors such as Edward Said and Albert Jay Nock who posited that the State, in effect, monopolizes cultural and educational institutions, as well as digital mediums, to such an extent that the poet/critic trained or educated inside this State system is compromised at the level of the metaphor, and in the writer’s ability to pursue disinterestedly any real and meaningful criticism of the State. In support of this thesis, the article analyses several historical and contemporary entanglements between Iraq and the west, with an emphasis on critical literature, State demagoguery and higher education.

Curating Massive Media
Authors: Colangelo Dave 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
The European Union’s media art initiative Connecting Cities and New York-based Streaming Museum are two recent examples of curatorial models that operate through large, networked digital displays. This growing exhibition category combines expressive media architecture and telecommunication elements to engage ‘trans-local’ sites and diverse publics in complex media spaces. By investigating the confluence of exhibition-making, public art and urban experience, this article explores the relationship between spectacle and criticality with respect to shifting notions of space, identity and ‘the common’.
Percutaneous Management of a Coronary Bifurcation Aneurysm with Mesh-Covered Stents and the Simultaneous Kissing Stent Technique

Published: August 2015

A 63-year-old man was admitted with a clinical diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (non-ST-segment elevation), characterized by regional hypokinesia of the left ventricular posterior and lateral walls and by positive cardiac biomarkers. The coronary angiogram showed a 12.5-mm-diameter aneurysm with a mural thrombus and possible distal embolism to the bifurcation of the left circumflex coronary artery and the 2nd marginal branch.
The aneurysm was managed percutaneously by implanting 2 mesh-covered stents in accordance with the “simultaneous kissing stent” technique. Follow-up angiography and optical coherence tomography at 5 postprocedural months documented complete sealing of the aneurysm and diffuse in-stent restenosis. No sign of ischemia occurred during the subsequent follow-up.
Older Age at Completion of Fontan Procedure Is Associated with Improved Percentage of Predicted Maximum Oxygen Uptake

Published: August 2015

We tested the hypothesis that later completion of the Fontan procedure is associated with improved exercise capacity in the current period of staged single-ventricle palliation. We performed a retrospective study, in Fontan patients, of exercise stress test data from April 2003 through March 2011. Patients were included if they had received staged palliations in accordance with current surgical strategy, defined as the performance of a superior cavopulmonary connection at ≤1 year of age, followed in subsequent years by Fontan completion. Patients with a pacemaker or respiratory exchange ratio <1 were excluded. Early and late Fontan groups were created on the basis of whether Fontan completion had been performed at <4 or ≥ 4 years of age. The primary predictor variable was age at Fontan completion, and the primary marker of exercise performance was the percentage of predicted maximum oxygen consumption. During the study period, 55 patients were identified (mean age, 11.7 ± 2.8 yr).
Older age at Fontan completion correlated positively with higher percentages of predicted maximum oxygen consumption (R=0.286, P=0.034). Patients in whom Fontan completion was performed at ≥4 years of age had higher percentages of predicted maximum oxygen consumption than did those in whom completion was at <4 years of age (84.4 ± 21.5 vs 72.9 ± 18.1; P=0.041). Later Fontan completion might be associated with improved exercise capacity in patients palliated in accordance with contemporary surgical strategy.

Published: August 2015

Transesophageal echocardiography continues to have a central role in the diagnosis of infective endocarditis and its sequelae. Recent technological advances offer the option of 3-dimensional imaging in the evaluation of patients with infective endocarditis. We present an illustrative case and review the literature regarding the potential advantages and limitations of 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in the diagnosis of complicated infective endocarditis.
A 51-year-old man, an intravenous drug user who had undergone bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement 5 months earlier, presented with prosthetic valve endocarditis. Preoperative transesophageal echocardiography with 3D rendition revealed a large abscess involving the mitral aortic intervalvular fibrosa, together with a mycotic aneurysm that had ruptured into the left atrium, resulting in a left ventricle-to-left atrium fistula. Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography enabled superior preoperative anatomic delineation and surgical planning. We conclude that 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography can be a useful adjunct to traditional 2-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography as a tool in the diagnosis of infective endocarditis.

Published: August 2015

Hidroxyapatite (HAp) merupakan salah satu biomaterial yang banyak diaplikasikan dalam dunia medis untuk membuat implant jaringan tubuh terutama tulang dan gigi sehingga kemurnian produk HAp memegang peranan yang cukup penting. Agar diperoleh HAp dengan kemurnian tinggi, kinetika reaksi pembentukan HAp harus diketahui secara jelas. Metode yang digunakan untuk memperoleh kinetika reaksi HAp adalah dengan analisis TG-DTA yang dilakukan pada dua jenis prekursor HAp yaitu asetat dan nitrat. Metode TG-DTA tersebut dilakukan dengan memanaskan prekursor HAp dengan variasi laju pemanasan 10, 15, 17, dan 20 oC/menit. Hasil analisis TG-DTA menunjukkan bahwa reaksi dekomposisi prekursor asetat dan nitrat membentuk HAp masing-masing terjadi pada suhu 659 oC dan 560 oC. Hasil fitting parameter kinetika menunjukkan bahwa energi aktivasi pembentukan HAp pada prekursor asetat sebesar 161,56 kJ/mol dengan model kinetika Normal Grain Growth sedangkan pada prekursor nitrat sebesar 374 kJ/mol dengan model kinetika Johnson-Mehl-Avrami. Kata kunci: Biomaterial, hidroxypapatite, Dekomposisi, Energi Aktivasi ABSTRACT KINETIC STUDY OF THE BIOMATERIAS HIDOXYAPATITE SINTHESIS WITH PRECURSOR NITRATE AND ACETATE. Hidroxyapatite (HAp) is one of the biomaterials widely applied in the medical world to make implant tissues of the body, especially bones and teeth so that the purity of the HAp plays a fairly important. In order to obtain high purity HAp, reaction kinetics should be known clearly. TG-DTA is method used to obtain the reaction kinetics of HAp.TG-DTA analyzes were conducted on precursors acetate and nitrate. TG-DTA method is carried out by heating HAp precursor with variation heating rate 10, 15, 17, and 20° C/min respectively. The results of TG-DTA showed decomposition precursor acetate and nitrate formed HAp occurs on temperature 659° C and 560° C respectively. The results of the fitting kinetic showed activation energy of the HAp formation on acetate precursors about 161.56 kJ/mol with Normal Grain Growth kinetic model whereas the nitrate precursor about 374 kJ/mol with Johnson-Mehl-Avrami kinetic model.
