Predominant Bacteria Associated with Red Snapper from the Northern Gulf of Mexico
Authors: Arias Covadonga R. , Koenders Kevin , Larsen Andrea M. 
Published: December 2013

Abstract
Since the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010, anecdotal observations of Red Snapper Lutjanus campechanus from the northern Gulf of Mexico exhibiting unusual external lesions have been reported. Two opportunistic bacterial fish pathogens, Vibrio vulnificus and Photobacterium damselae, were recovered from the fish and were deemed responsible for the abnormalities. However, the culturable microbiota of healthy Red Snapper has not yet been characterized. We analyzed the heterotrophic bacteria associated with healthy Red Snapper caught off the Louisiana coast. In total, 179 isolates from 60 fish were recovered from skin and mucus, and 43 isolates were obtained from anterior kidney. All isolates were identified by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. The Proteobacteria was the predominant phylum in both external and internal samples, followed by the Firmicutes and the Actinobacteria. Within the Proteobacteria, most isolates were members of the genera Vibrio and Photobacterium, and V. natriegens and P. damselae were the predominant species. The results of this study suggest that both Vibrio spp. and Photobacterium spp. are associated with the normal microbiota of healthy Red Snapper. Thus, the opportunistic fish pathogens recovered in previous studies cannot be deemed lesion-forming until Koch's postulates are fulfilled.

Happiness from Ordinary and Extraordinary Experiences
Authors: Bhattacharjee Amit , Mogilner Cassie 
Published: December 2013

Abstract
Prior research indicates that experiences bring greater happiness than material possessions, but which experiences result in the greatest happiness? The current investigation is one of the first to categorize types of experiences and highlights one important distinction: the extent to which an experience is ordinary (common and frequent) versus extraordinary (uncommon and infrequent). Eight studies examine the experiences individuals recall, plan, imagine, and post on Facebook finding that the happiness enjoyed from ordinary and extraordinary experiences depends on age. Younger people, who view their future as extensive, gain more happiness from extraordinary experiences; however, ordinary experiences become increasingly associated with happiness as people get older, such that they produce as much happiness as extraordinary experiences when individuals have limited time remaining. Self-definition drives these effects: although extraordinary experiences are self-defining throughout one's life span, as people get older they increasingly define themselves by the ordinary experiences that comprise their daily lives.
The Role of Ancient Egypt in Masquerades at the Court of François Ier*
Authors: Croizat-Glazer Yassana 
Published: December 2013

AbstractThis essay examines the role of ancient Egypt in courtly masquerades under François Ier (r. 1515–47). It opens with an analysis of the iconography of a sphinx costume that was designed by Francesco Primaticcio (1504/05–1570) and worn by the king and one of his favorite courtiers, Cardinal Jean de Lorraine (1498–1550), at a wedding celebration held in 1546. Two other costume drawings by the same artist are discussed next, and the first printed French translation of Horapollo’s Hieroglyphica, which was published in Paris in 1543, is identified as their source. In examining their strange aesthetic and multiple layers of meaning, this study considers how these costumes were symptomatic of a broader French Renaissance fascination with concealed truth and how, as conveyors of veiled messages, they were meant to spark lofty discussions and demonstrate the French court’s sophistication.
Galileo, Poetry, and Patronage: Giulio Strozzi’sVenetia edificataand the Place of Galileo in Seventeenth-Century Italian Poetry*
Authors: Hall Crystal 
Published: December 2013

AbstractThe Venetian poet and librettist Giulio Strozzi (1583–1652) spent much of his career glorifying the Serenissima through a series of theatrical pieces. His only epic poem, theVenetia edificata(1621, 1624), while ostensibly a celebration of the republic, shows a level of commitment to Galileo Galilei (1564–1643) and to Galileo’s science that is unique among poets of the time, Venetian or otherwise. It is the apex of Strozzi’s artistic project to incorporate Galileo’s discoveries and texts into poetic works. TheVenetia edificataalso represents the culmination of a fifteen-year effort to gain patronage from the Medici Grand Dukes in Florence. While the first, incomplete version is dedicated to the Venetian Doge, the second, finished version is dedicated to Grand Duke Ferdinando II de’ Medici of Florence. More than a decade after Galileo’s departure from the Veneto to Florence, Strozzi cites from Galileo’s early works, creates a character inspired by Galileo, incorporates the principles of Galileo’s science into the organizing structure of the poem, and answers one of Galileo’s loudest complaints about Torquato Tasso’sJerusalem Delivered(1581). Strozzi’s strategies both in writing the Venetia edificata and in seeking patronage for it underscore the ambivalent response to Galileo in contemporary poetry.
Executive Summary: Primary Care Guidelines for the Management of Persons Infected With HIV: 2013 Update by the HIV Medicine Association of the Infectious Diseases Society of America

Published: December 2013

Abstract
Evidence-based guidelines for the management of persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) were prepared by an expert panel of the HIV Medicine Association of the Infectious Diseases Society of America. These updated guidelines replace those published in 2009. The guidelines are intended for use by healthcare providers who care for HIV-infected patients. Since 2009, new antiretroviral drugs and classes have become available, and the prognosis of persons with HIV infection continues to improve. However, with fewer complications and increased survival, HIV-infected persons are increasingly developing common health problems that also affect the general population. Some of these conditions may be related to HIV infection itself or its treatment. HIV-infected persons should be managed and monitored for all relevant age- and sex-specific health problems. New information based on publications from the period 2009–2013 has been incorporated into this document.

Authors: Jiang Xingjie , Cao Yong , Yao Yu , Chen Xiaoqing , Guan Junjie , Zhang Feng 
Published: December 2013

Study Design:
Prospective study.

Objective:
To evaluate the role of the canal and vertebrae sagittal diameter (C/V) ratio in the treatment of old dislocations of the lower cervical spine.

Summary of Background Data:
Few studies have reported the management of old dislocations of the lower cervical spine. Conservative treatments including the use of a Halo vest, neck brace, and prolonged traction have been problematic. Operative treatment consisted of a primary or staged reduction and fusion using an anterior, posterior, or combined approach.

Methods:
Fourteen consecutive patients with old dislocations of the lower cervical spine were included in this series. The preoperative C/V value was calculated based on the measurement on the neutral sagittal computed tomography at the most narrow place of the dislocated segments. Closed reduction was attempted in 9 patients with moderate stenosis (C/V>0.5). Five patients with severe stenosis (C/V≤0.5) were treated with a primary combined anterior and posterior operation. Patient’s radiographic information, pain, and neurological function were assessed and recorded before and after surgery.

Results:
Closed reduction followed by anterior cervical discectomy and fusion was performed in 3 of 9 patients with moderate stenosis. Eleven patients underwent circumferential release, posterior reduction, and fixation followed by anterior fusion. No severe complications were found. The average operative time was 138±43 minutes. The average blood loss was 239±140 mL. The postoperative C/V value was significantly increased. The neurological status improved at least one grade in all 13 neurologically impaired cases except for 2 who had complete spinal cord injuries. Bony fusion was obtained in all patients at 1-year follow-up.

Conclusions:
The C/V value plays an important role in determining surgical solutions for old lower cervical dislocations with locked facets. Favorable clinical outcomes can be achieved using closed reduction and surgical procedures with anterior or anterior plus posterior approaches.
Corporate social responsibility and environmental reporting in controversial industries
Authors: Kilian Thomas , Hennigs Nadine 
Published: December 2013

Purpose– Over the last few decades, corporate social responsibility (CSR) has received a large amount of attention in research and in practice. As a response to the growing awareness of and concern about social and environmental issues, an increasing number of companies are proactively publishing their CSR-related principles and activities. The overall research question of this study is derived from legitimacy theory and is aimed at elucidating the relationship between industry sector and CSR communication. The paper aims to discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approach– The empirical examination encompasses a sample that includes the annual reports of all German DAX-30 companies from 1998 to 2009. First, based on a content analysis, categories of CSR-related communication are defined. Second, these categories are used in a quantitative analysis with a longitudinal perspective to evaluate the hypothesis that companies in controversial industries communicate their CSR more intensely than companies in non-controversial industries.Findings– The qualitative study leads to a category system that accounts not only for CSR-related activities but also for CSR philosophies and motives as the normative basis of CSR communication. The quantitative results support the hypothesis that companies in controversial industries are more active in CSR communication than companies in non-controversial industries.Originality/value– Existing studies analysing CSR communication activity have been largely inconsistent and often use unsystematic approaches in choosing industries for comparison. Therefore, in this study, to overcome some of these deficiencies, a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches addresses the concept of controversial industries.
Impacts of the trilogy of emotion on future purchase intentions in products of high involvement under the mediating role of brand awareness
Authors: Shahin Sharifi Seyed 
Published: December 2013

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of the trilogy of emotion – cognition, affection, and conation – on future purchase intentions in consumers of products of high involvement.Design/methodology/approach– The author employed two studies on two different products to test the influence of emotion on future purchase intentions in study one and to replicate the results of study one in study two, using structural equation modeling. In study two, brand awareness is regarded as a mediator.Findings– The results indicate that cognition can influence future purchase intentions, and that affection meaningfully influences future purchase intentions. Additionally, the researcher found that the impact of affection on future purchase intention is stronger than that of cognition on future purchase intentions. Moreover, brand awareness meaningfully influenced cognition, affection, and conation directly, and future purchase intentions indirectly.Practical implications– Encouraging conditions in which consumers have good thoughts and feelings about a prior purchase can bolster future purchase intentions, empowering the potent in future purchase for the brand involved.Originality/value– This research validates the impact of emotion – more specifically cognition and affection – on future purchase intentions under mediating role of brand awareness, in a country with growing markets. Hence, it adds to the literature of post-purchase important findings.
Behind closed doors! Homosocial desire and the academic boys club
Authors: Fisher Virginia , Kinsey Sue 
Published: December 2013

Purpose– The aim of this paper is to explore the nature and power of the academic boys club. In many organisations, the political significance of the boys club goes largely unremarked and unacknowledged. Yet, the way that male colleagues intimately relate to each other, sometimes called homosocial desire, is crucial to their success at gaining and retaining power at work.Design/methodology/approach– Feminist, poststructuralist, ethnographic, qualitative, and longitudinal data were collected over a five-year period from male and female academics in a British university.Findings– The boys club is still a powerful feature of British universities. Their apparent invisibility shrouds the manner in which they can and do promote and maintain male interests in a myriad of ways, including selection and promotion. These findings have resonances for all organisations.Research limitations/implications– Researching the intimacies between male colleagues requires time-intensive field work and insider access to men interacting with each other.Practical implications– Meaningful gender equality will not be achieved unless and until the more sophisticated forms of female exclusion are revealed and deconstructed.Originality/value– This research makes an unusual and crucial contribution to the study of gender, men and masculinities by providing longitudinal, rich, detailed data, observing men at the closest of quarters and then analysed by a feminist and poststructuralist gaze.
Deputy-principals in Arab schools in Israel: an era of reform
Authors: Arar Khalid 
Published: December 2013

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to investigate Arab deputy-principals’ perceptions of their role in Arab schools in Israel, relating to their expectations regarding principal-deputy relations and their aspirations for promotion.Design/methodology/approach– A two-stage qualitative study included an open-ended questionnaire completed by 27 Arab deputy-principals, studying in a deputy-principals’ training program for the “New Horizons” reform. The questionnaire related to their perceptions of their professional role. Data from the open questionnaires were supplemented by data from in-depth semi-structured interviews conducted with eight of the deputy-principals.Findings– The deputy-principals perceived their role as arduous and complex, indicating that this was the result of vague role definitions. They mostly dealt with administration though they longed to devote themselves to pedagogy, shaping education policy and the school vision. Most did not aspire to attain principalship.Practical implications– A clearer role definition is required for the deputy-principal. Principal-deputy cooperation should be enhanced. Deputy-principals need better role-related training and supervision that considers the requirements of the school settings and culture.Originality/value– This is the first study to examine the role of deputy-principals in Arab society in Israel.

Approaches for reducing medical errors and increasing patient safety
Authors: Zineldin Mosad , Zineldin Jonas , Vasicheva Valentina 
Published: December 2013

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to identify the shortcoming of a health-care institution to reduce the medical errors (MEs) which lead to the increase of physicians and patients relationship.

Design/methodology/approach
– Total relationship management (TRM) emphasizes the totality and the holistic nature of a relationship. It includes five generic quality dimensions (5 Qs) and measurements. 5 Qs will be used in the paper to identify the shortcoming of a health-care institution, identify and reduce the MEs which lead to the increase of the patient safety and doctors and patients satisfaction.

Findings
– The paper shows that there is a need for a health-care system response to error that moves the system toward being as fail-Zero tolerant and failsafe as possible rather than one that blames the clinician who may have erred.

Research limitations/implications
– The proposed 5 Qs model consists of some generic integrated dimensions.

Practical implications
– Teamwork practice, holistic view and integration of different competences and recourses will allow the support of information systems, the collection of evidence about care, and efforts for continuous quality improvement.

Social implications
– This research attempts to contribute to the previous academic studies and knowledge in quality of medical and health care by reducing the MEs and increasing patient safety.

Originality/value
– The 5 Qs can be used as diagnostic instrument to identify and understanding of how MEs and AEs occur and suggest prevention strategies to reduce patient severity and dissatisfaction. The main goal of such prevention strategies is to reduce the probability of error occurrence and increase the probability that the error would be remedied before an inadvertent injury occurred.
Cascading effects of predator–detritivore interactions depend on environmental context in a Tibetan alpine meadow
Authors: Wu Xinwei , Griffin John N. , Sun Shucun 
Published: December 2013

Summary

Studies of grazing food webs show that species traits can interact with environmental factors to determine the strength of trophic cascades, but analogous context dependencies in detrital food webs remain poorly understood.

In predator–detritivore–plant interaction chains, predators are expected to indirectly suppress plant biomass by reducing the density of plant‐facilitating detritivores. However, this outcome can be reversed where above‐ground predators drive burrowing detritivores to lower soil levels, strengthening their plant‐facilitating effects. Here, we show that these trait‐mediated indirect interactions further depend on environmental context in a Tibetan alpine meadow.

In our study system, undulating topography generates higher (dry soil) patches interspersed with lower (wet soil) patches. Because the ability of detritivores to form deep burrows is likely to be limited by oxygen availability in low patches (wet soil), we hypothesized that (i) burrowing detritivores would undergo a vertical habitat shift, allowing them to more effectively avoid predation, in high – but not low – patches, and (ii) this shift would transmit positive effects of predators to plants in high patches by improving conditions in the lower soil layer.

We tested these hypotheses using complementary field and glasshouse experiments examining whether the cascading effects of above‐ground predatory beetles (presence/absence) on the density and behaviour of tunnel‐forming detritivorous beetles, soil properties, and plant growth varied with patch type (low/high).

Results revealed that predatory beetles did not reduce the density of detritivores in either patch type but had context‐dependent trait‐mediated effects, increasing the tunnelling depth of detritivores, improving soil conditions and ultimately increasing plant biomass in the high but not low patches.

This study adds to an emerging predictive framework linking predators to plants in detritus food webs, demonstrating that these indirect interactions depend not just on the relative habitat domains of predators and prey, but also on environmental conditions that can predictably constrain the behavioural response of detritivores to predation risk.
The Holocene Activity Evidence of the Yema River‐Daxue Mountain Fault in Western Qilian Mountain
Authors: LUO Hao , HE Wengui , YUAN Daoyang , SHAO Yanxiu 
Published: December 2013

AbstractAltyn Tagh fault controls the deformation characteristics of the northern margin of the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau. The sinistral slip rate of the eastern segment of the fault reduces gradually where the reduction transforms into the deformation within Qilian Mountain, forming a series of thrust faults and strike‐slip faults. Among them, the Yema River‐Daxue Mountain fault is one of the important structural transform faults in the study area. Based on the differences of the geometrical characteristics and activities, the fault is divided into four segments, the Yema River segment, the Shibandun segment, the Liushapo segment and the Baishitougou segment, among which the former three are Holocene active faults, and the Baishitougou segment belongs to late Pleistocene fault. The excavated trenches imply a total of 6 paleoearthquake events, and at least 4 events have occurred during Holocene, whose occurrence times are 8300±700 yr BP, 6605±140 yr BP, 4540±350 yr BP, 2098±47 yr BP, respectively. The recurrence interval is 2600±600 yr BP that is close to the lapsed time of the last one, 2098±47 yr BP, which suggests that the Yema River‐Daxue Mountain fault is in a high risk of major earthquakes in the future. The vertical coseismic displacements of the four Holocene paleoearthquake events are 100 cm, 42 cm, 40 cm and 50 cm, respectively, the horizontal coseismic displacements are 5 m, 4.5–5.5 m, 5–8 m and 4–5.5 m, separately, and then the reference magnitude of the paleoearthquake events is conjectured to be M7.6±0.1.
