Thinking of community as an aspirational and contestable idea: A role for the arts in creating community
Authors: Mulligan Martin 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
Community-based arts have had a clear influence on public arts and culture policies in countries such as Australia, United Kingdom and the United States and yet the word ‘community’ tends to be used in such policy discourses in shallow and ambiguous ways. This article notes that the very idea of community has divided western scholars for over a century, with recurring suggestions that industrialization, urbanization and/or globalization have made it largely irrelevant. However, some have noted that the search for community is both ancient and enduring and that the idea of community has perennial symbolic importance. Against predictions that attachment to community would fade away it has been noted that the desire for belonging to community has gathered force in a world of increasing global flows. New communication technologies enable most people in the world to belong to a greater array of real and virtual communities. While virtual communities will often have specific membership criteria, problems emerge when particular people or groups of people feel excluded from participation in local or place-based communities because such exclusions can have devastating consequences in a world of great flux and uncertainty. Gerard Delanty has explained that communities only come into existence in the contemporary world to the extent that they are ‘wilfully constructed’. This article argues that community-based arts have a significant role to play in the creation and projection of communities. It argues that we should engage with the complexities embedded in the word community rather than turn to alternative terminology, such as ‘social capital’. However, the word community needs to be used thoughtfully and carefully rather then loosely and divisively.
Agonistic participation: A political and architectural opportunity
Authors: Beyerle Ammon 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
This study explores theory and practice in architecture and participation through an ethnographic exposition of an architectural design and community development process for Hub Melbourne, a new coworking space in Melbourne. As well as contributing a practical example of a participatory process in architecture, the analysis aims to situate learnings from the architectural practice here studio in a long history of participation in architecture. Claire Bishop’s ‘The social turn: Collaboration and its discontents’ (2006) is used as a starting point from which to argue for autonomous evaluations in social practice that value the production of ethical and political engagement as creative content. This content is intricately connected to the project’s aesthetics. Borrowing from the pluralist political theory of Chantal Mouffe, the article suggests that participation is difficult in architecture, yet presents opportunities if conflict between stakeholders is valued in an agonistic way.
The Turn to Community: Exploring the political and relational in the arts
Authors: Badham Marnie 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
This article builds on Mulligan and Smith’s notion of The Turn to Community in the Arts. Recognizing the lack of official histories for these forms of relational, social and collaborative practices, the article offers an expanded cartography for this collaborative art practice through three interrelated terrains: as identity politics; as governmental intervention; and finally, as contemporary art. This new mapping has implications not only for how the field is theorized, but also how its value is understood artistically.
Taylorism 2.0: Gamification, scientific management and the capitalist appropriation of play
Authors: deWinter Jennifer , Kocurek Carly A. , Nichols Randall 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
By making work seem more like leisure time, gamification and corporate training games serve as a mechanism for solving a range of problems and, significantly, of increasing productivity. This piece examines the implications of gamification as a means of productivity gains that extend Frederick Winslow Taylor’s principles of scientific management, or Taylorism. Relying on measurement and observation as a mechanism to collapse the domains of labour and leisure for the benefit of businesses (rather than for the benefit or fulfilment of workers), gamification potentially subjugates all time into productive time, even as business leaders use games to mask all labour as something to be enjoyed. In so doing, this study argues, the agency of individuals – whether worker or player – becomes subject to the rationalized nature of production. This rationalization changes the nature of play, making it a duty rather than a choice, a routine rather than a process of exploration. Taken too far or used unthinkingly, it renders Huizinga’s magic circle into one more regulated office cubicle.

Published: September 2014

Abstract

Objective: Vaginal delivery of fetal breech presentation is considered to be a challenge for obstetricians. The purpose of this study was to show that vaginal delivery in all fours position is feasible and safe for mother and child compared with vaginal breech and classic support.

Methods: A single-center prospective observational case series of breech delivery (n=41) in all fours position was compared to a retrospective cohort of breech deliveries in the form of a matched-pair analysis.

Results: Deliveries in the all fours position successfully took place without obstetric intervention in 70.7% of deliveries (n=29/41), and those including intervention in 90.2% (n=37/41). The rate of maternal perineal injuries was reduced (14.6% vs. 58.5%, P<0.001). Newborns delivered in all fours position had increased prenatal hypoxic stress with a pH of 7.19 [95% confidence interval (CI) 7.16–7.22] vs. a pH of 7.24 (95% CI 7.21–7.27; P=0.016). With n=24 vs. n=16, a higher number of newborns had a pH of <7.20 (P=0.03) and decreased base excess of –7.2 mmol/L (95% CI –8.2–6.2) vs. –4.8 mmol/L (95% CI –5.7–4.0; P<0.001). However, this had no clinical consequences for the newborns (5 min Apgar score <9: n=5 vs. n=4, not significant; transfer rate to neonatal intensive care unit n=7 vs. n=6, not significant).

Conclusion: This is the first clinical evaluation of breech delivery in the all fours position. It is a feasible non-interventional obstetric delivery method. It seems to be safe for the fetus with reduced maternal morbidity. Vaginal delivery of fetal breech presentation, even in the all fours position, creates stress for the newborn.
Two New Species ofCalathusBonelli (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Harpalinae) from the Ethiopian Highlands
Authors: Novoa Francisco , Gañán Israel 
Published: September 2014

AbstractAlthough the genus Calathus Bonelli is distributed mainly in the Holarctic, 17 species have been described from Ethiopia. A key to the Ethiopian Calathus with hind angles of pronotum well-marked, generally rectangular, is provided, including two new species, Calathus juan from Guna Mountain (Gonder) and Calathus carballalae from Mt. Batu (Bale). The two new species are described. Both taxa were found in Afroalpine grassland living under stones, sometimes at the base of the giant Lobelia rhynchopetalum Hemsley. C. juan bears some resemblance to Calathus theodori Ancey given its similar prosternal process and the shoulders of the elytra but is separated by the shape of its pronotum and the different configuration of the aedeagus. C. carballalae is characterized by the small callosity on the shoulders of the elytra, its elongate shape, and the singular aedeagus. Drawings of male genitalia of both C. theodoi and Calathus orthomoides Alluaud are presented for the first time.

OBJECTIVEAlbuminuria and reduced kidney function are associated with cognitive impairment. Relationships between nephropathy and cerebral structural changes remain poorly defined, particularly in African Americans (AAs), a population at higher risk for both cognitive impairment and diabetes than European Americans. We examined the relationship between urine albumin:creatinine ratio (UACR), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and cerebral MRI volumes in 263 AAs with type 2 diabetes.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSCross-sectional associations between renal parameters and white matter (WM), gray matter (GM), hippocampal, and WM lesion (WML) volumes were assessed using generalized linear models adjusted for age, education, sex, BMI, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level, and hypertension.RESULTSParticipants had a mean (SD) age of 60.2 years (9.7 years), and 62.7% were female. Mean diabetes duration was 14.3 years (8.9 years), HbA1c level was 8.2% (2.2%; 66 mmol/mol), eGFR was 86.0 mL/min/1.73 m2 (23.2 mL/min/1.73 m2), and UACR was 155.8 mg/g (542.1 mg/g; median 8.1 mg/g). Those with chronic kidney disease (CKD) (eGFR &lt;60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or UACR &gt;30 mg/g) had smaller GM and higher WML volumes. Higher UACR was significantly associated with higher WML volume and greater atrophy (larger cerebrospinal fluid volumes), and smaller GM and hippocampal WM volumes. A higher eGFR was associated with larger hippocampal WM volumes. Consistent with higher WML volumes, participants with CKD had significantly poorer processing speed and working memory. These findings were independent of glycemic control.CONCLUSIONSWe found albuminuria to be a better marker of cerebral structural changes than eGFR in AAs with type 2 diabetes. Relationships between albuminuria and brain pathology may contribute to poorer cognitive performance in patients with mild CKD.

Authors: Yu Oriana Hoi Yun , Filion Kristian B. , Azoulay Laurent , Patenaude Valerie , Majdan Agnieszka , Suissa Samy 
Published: September 2014

OBJECTIVE
To determine whether the use of incretin-based drugs, including GLP-1 analogs and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, is associated with an increased risk of congestive heart failure (CHF) among patients with type 2 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
The U.K. Clinical Practice Research Datalink, linked to the Hospital Episode Statistics database, was used to conduct a cohort study with a nested case-control analysis among patients newly prescribed antidiabetic drugs between 1 January 2007 and 31 March 2012 and no prior history of CHF. Case subjects were defined as patients hospitalized for a first CHF and matched with up to 20 control subjects on age, duration of treated diabetes, calendar year, and time since cohort entry. Conditional logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% CIs of incident CHF comparing current use of incretin-based drugs with current use of two or more oral antidiabetic drugs.

RESULTS
The cohort consisted of 57,737 patients followed for a mean 2.4 years, during which time 1,118 incident cases of hospitalized CHF were identified (incidence rate 8.1/1,000 person-years). Current use of incretin-based drugs was not associated with an increased risk of CHF (adjusted OR 0.85 [95% CI 0.62–1.16]). Secondary analyses revealed no duration-response relationship (P trend = 0.39).

CONCLUSIONS
In our population-based study, incretin-based drug use was not associated with an increased risk of CHF among patients with type 2 diabetes. These findings provide some reassurance, but will need to be replicated in other large-scale studies.
Exploring Approaches How to Measure a Lean Process
Authors: Österman Christer , Fundin Anders 
Published: September 2014

Abstract

Purpose:The purpose of the research is to explore a practical method of measuring the implementation of lean in a process. The method will be based on examining the abilities of a group. At this scale the ability to work standardized and solve problems is important. These two abilities are dependent of each other and are fundamental for the group's ability to create a stable result. In this context the method of standardized work (SW) is define to be the methods used in a process to generate stable results. Problem solving (PS) is defined as the methods used to return a process to a condition where SW is possible.

Methodology /approach: The research is conducted in a multiple case study in four large global manufacturing companies. The order of the data collection is: Firstly, interviews with the individuals that are centrally responsible for overall implementation of lean in the organization. Secondly, observe the implementation of SW and PS at the group level. In total 7 groups have been studied and 19 respondents interviewed.

Findings: Results show that the central definition of the methods for standardized work does not by itself have a direct impact on success of implementation of SW at group level. The method of SW where similar on a general level in the different cases, but with varying levels of implementation at group level was applied. Results also show that key factors for a successful implementation of standardized work on group level are: Ownership of the process, Direct connection to result of process, Correct workload and Leader demand. Methods of PS at group level where dissimilar despite a superficially similar approach. The evaluation method used was successful in providing comparable results between the cases.

Research limitations: A limitation of this research is within the scale of the measurement, as it only examines the group level. The research is further limited to four companies and seven groups.

Originality/value of paper: This paper aims to fill a gap in the established measurement methods of lean, as it examines the abilities of SW and PS at the group level of a process. These abilities are often referred to as essential in lean theory. However, there has been little scholarly work in defining the methods of SW and PS or the key factors affecting the methods at an operational level.
The Relationship between Optimism, Pre-Entrepreneurial Curiosity and Entrepreneurial Curiosity
Authors: Jeraj Mitja 
Published: September 2014

Abstract

Background: Entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs become more and more interesting fields for a scientific research. This paper addresses the relationship between optimism, pre-entrepreneurial curiosity and entrepreneurial curiosity as three determinants of entrepreneurial psychology. Literature review showed optimism is important for entrepreneurs and influence them mostly in a positive way. Although entrepreneurial curiosity is important determinant for entrepreneurs and it was connected with entrepreneurial self-efficacy, openness, and company's growth the connection with optimism remained unexplored until this research.

Methods: A multi-country empirical validation was conducted on a sample of entrepreneurs from Slovenia and USA. A structural equation modelling, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to develop a model, which complement theoretical predisposition and fit the data.

Results: The results of the study show that higher levels of optimism lead to higher levels of pre-entrepreneurial curiosity and higher levels of pre-entrepreneurial curiosity lead to higher levels of entrepreneurial curiosity.

Conclusions: The contribution of this study is manifold. From the theoretical view, a literature gap on the field of optimism and entrepreneurial curiosity combined is fulfilled and a structural equation model with optimism and entrepreneurial curiosity was established. Since openness, pre-entrepreneurial curiosity and entrepreneurial curiosity are related policy makers can test individuals according to their level of researched determinants and motivate more entrepreneurial perspective ones to become active in the entrepreneurship process. Thus, entrepreneurs can use these results to recruit more entrepreneurial oriented employees.

Authors: Berrow Emma J. , Wolffsohn James S. , Bilkhu Paramdeep S. , Dhallu Sandeep , Naroo Shehzad A. , Shah Sunil 
Published: September 2014

PURPOSE:
To assess the visual performance and subjective experience of eyes implanted with a new bi-aspheric, segmented, multifocal intraocular lens: the Mplus X (Topcon Europe Medical, Capelle aan den IJssel, Netherlands).

METHODS:
Seventeen patients (mean age: 64.0 ± 12.8 years) had binocular implantation (34 eyes) with the Mplus X. Three months after the implantation, assessment was made of: manifest refraction; uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity; uncorrected and distance corrected near visual acuity; defocus curves in photopic conditions; contrast sensitivity; halometry as an objective measure of glare; and patient satisfaction with unaided near vision using the Near Acuity Visual Questionnaire.

RESULTS:
Mean residual manifest refraction was −0.13 ± 0.51 diopters (D). Twenty-five eyes (74%) were within a mean spherical equivalent of ±0.50 D. Mean uncorrected distance visual acuity was +0.10 ± 0.12 logMAR monocularly and 0.02 ± 0.09 logMAR binocularly. Thirty-two eyes (94%) could read 0.3 or better without any reading correction and all patients could read 0.3 or better with a reading correction. Mean monocular uncorrected near visual acuity was 0.18 ± 0.16 logMAR, improving to 0.15 ± 0.15 logMAR with distance correction. Mean binocular uncorrected near visual acuity was 0.11 ± 0.11 logMAR, improving to 0.09 ± 0.12 logMAR with distance correction. Mean binocular contrast sensitivity was 1.75 ± 0.14 log units at 3 cycles per degree, 1.88 ± 0.20 log units at 6 cycles per degree, 1.66 ± 0.19 log units at 12 cycles per degree, and 1.11 ± 0.20 log units at 18 cycles per degree. Mean binocular and monocular halometry showed a glare profile of less than 1° of debilitating light scatter. Mean Near Acuity Visual Questionnaire Rasch score (0 = no difficulty, 100 = extreme difficulty) for satisfaction for near vision was 20.43 ± 14.64 log-odd units.

CONCLUSIONS:
The Mplus X provides a good visual outcome at distance and near with minimal dysphotopsia. Patients were very satisfied with their uncorrected near vision.

PURPOSE:
To evaluate the short-term aberrometric outcomes of wavefront-guided LASIK for the correction of low to moderate myopia and myopic astigmatism using a new generation aberrometer (iDesign System; Abbott Medical Optics, Inc., Santa Ana, CA).

METHODS:

Charts of 92 eyes of 46 patients successively treated by wavefront-guided LASIK for myopia and/or myopic astigmatism were retrospectively reviewed at 3 months postoperatively. Aberrometric analysis of the wavefront errors was performed for a 6-mm pupil diameter to investigate the surgical induction of the total higher-order aberrations (HOAs), spherical aberrations Z

. Additionally, correlations between the magnitude of aberrations induced with the level of achieved correction and the preoperative amount of aberrations were tested.

RESULTS:

A minimal but statistically significant induction in all of the aberrations tested was observed at 3 months postoperatively (
P
< .01), with an increase (calculated for a 6-mm pupil) of +0.12 ± 0.2, +0.06 ± 0.1, and 0.05 ± 0.1 µm in the root mean square (RMS) total HOA, RMS spherical aberration Z

, respectively. The postoperative change in aberrations was poorly correlated with both the level of achieved myopic correction for all of the aberrations tested (
r
< 0.3;
P
< .001) and the preoperative level of spherical aberrations (
r
= 0.3;
P
< .05) and coma (
r
= 0.46;
P
< .05).

CONCLUSIONS:
Wavefront-guided LASIK using the new generation Hartmann–Shack aberrometer allows a minimal induction of HOAs regardless of the level of myopic correction achieved or the preoperative magnitude of aberrations.

Influence of windbreaks and forest borders on abundance and species richness of native pollinators in lowbush blueberry fields in Québec, Canada
Authors: Moisan-DeSerres Joseph , Chagnon Madeleine , Fournier Valérie 
Published: September 2014

AbstractLowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifoliumAiton (Ericaceae)) production is highly dependent on insect pollination to maximise yields. The current losses in honey bee (Apis melliferaLinnaeus (Hymenoptera: Apidae)) colonies pose a serious threat to the blueberry industry, raising interest in alternative pollinators. Abundance and diversity of native pollinators usually decreases with distance from natural habitats. In this study, we evaluated the effects of distance from wooded habitats such as windbreaks and forest borders on the presence of native pollinators in blueberry fields in Lac-St-Jean (Québec, Canada). Four treatments were compared: single-row, double-row, natural windbreaks, and forest borders. Pan-traps were placed at 5, 30, and 60 m from the windbreak or forest border. A total of 3878 native pollinators were collected and 81% were ground-nesting bees. The forest border was the only treatment with higher abundance and species richness on the periphery (5 m) of the field than at further distances, supporting the hypothesis that the presence of pollinators is favoured by habitats potentially offering more abundant and diverse nutritional resources. Our overall results reveal that native pollinators are distributed quite homogeneously in blueberry fields, suggesting that windbreaks are beneficial to native pollinator communities.
Processo decisório e organização do trabalho em cooperativas populares e tradicionais: Estudo de caso em duas cooperativas paranaenses.

Published: September 2014

Este artigo analisa a dinâmica da democracia interna e da organização do trabalho em cooperativas tradicionais e populares, como parte integrante do debate acerca da gestão de cooperativas que vem ocorrendo a partir da década de 1990. Com base no referencial teórico sobre as duas modalidades de cooperativas e na investigação empírica realizada junto a uma cooperativa tradicional – COCAMAR – e a uma cooperativa popular – COPAVI, buscou-se identificar, em um e outro caso, a orientação desses empreendimentos para a heterogestão ou para a utogestão.
