Entrepreneurship education and veterinary medicine: enhancing employable skills
Authors: Henry Colette , Treanor Lorna 
Published: November 2010

PurposeThis paper has the purpose of exploring the potential for entrepreneurship education within veterinary medicine. It aims to examine some of the key themes in the entrepreneurship education literature, discuss the make‐up of the UK veterinary sector, consider veterinary curricula requirements and illustrate how entrepreneurship education can benefit veterinary students.Design/methodology/approachThe approach adopted by the authors includes a literature review, in‐depth discussion and the development of hypotheses for further study.FindingsEntrepreneurship education has the potential to make a valuable contribution to veterinary medicine curricula. This is due to the fact that the majority of veterinary graduates will work in or even own/co‐own a veterinary business (i.e. a small veterinary practice) at some point in their career. In this context, the authors illustrate how entrepreneurship education can enhance both employable and day one/year one skills. The high entry requirements for veterinary programmes and the gender shift towards a predominantly female under‐ and postgraduate population add further interesting dimensions to the paper and present possible avenues for further research.Research limitations/implicationsThis is a conceptual paper and it is fully recognised that the concepts and hypotheses proposed need to be further developed and tested at the empirical level. Some interesting avenues for future research that could contribute significantly to this field are also identified.Originality/valueThe paper highlights the potential value of incorporating entrepreneurship education within veterinary curricula. It also identifies how such incorporation can enhance students' employable skills and deliver many of the skills included in veterinary medicine's day one/year one competences' agenda.
Managing the life cycles of the document and library collections in Finnish academic libraries
Authors: Muhonen Ari , Saarti Jarmo , Vattulainen Pentti 
Published: November 2010

PurposeAt the beginning of this millennium it was decided to renovate higher education legislation and to restructure the institutions in Finland. The new University Act was passed in the summer of 2009. One important aspect of the new Act means that the formerly state‐owned universities become more autonomous. In addition, the number of universities in Finland will be reduced by merging some of the old universities into new units, like Aalto University and the UEF, which were both inaugurated in 2010. This also has meant the birth of new multi‐campus universities as well as posing new challenges for the management of finances. At the same time, the digital revolution of scientific information has changed the paradigm of the libraries from ownership to access. It is no longer necessary to purchase paper journals and store them within the library building. Instead, the electronic versions are licensed, thus providing academics as well as students with 24/7 access to the material. This digital change has also triggered a generation gap between ageing library staff and the digital‐age student generation. This paper discusses the management of the lifecycles of different types of documents – printed/digital and serials/monographs – in a rapidly changing environment. In addition, the paper aims to discuss the distribution of work and outsourcing of the collection storage with the National Repository Library with the emphasis on enabling access to the outsourced collections with the help of modern database technologies. Some evidence of the effects on library expenses and usage is also given.Design/methodology/approachThe paper analyses the statistical data of Finnish academic libraries in presenting its results.FindingsThe National Repository Library has enabled Finnish university libraries to focus their collection policies and to make savings in the cost of premises.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper is based on Finnish experiences.Practical implicationsModels for national and international collection and preservation policies are presented.Originality/valueThe paper provides thoughts for the building of global division of work in the long‐tail management of documents.

Knowledge management in complex environments: the UN peacekeeping
Authors: Bolisani Ettore , Damiani Fabrizio 
Published: November 2010

PurposeThis paper aims to illustrate the peculiar knowledge management (KM) issues in UN peacekeeping, the practices adopted, their practicability and problematic aspects.Design/methodology/approachThis case study deals with a “frontier” experience that summarizes many elements of complexity of public decision making, such as: uncertainty, multiplicity of goals and tasks, participation of different and often conflicting stakeholders, different levels of authority, etc.FindingsThe case study shows that transposing today's lessons into the future – which is a major goal of KM – is intrinsically difficult in the case of global and multidimensional decision making. KM systems must evolve and adapt continuously. Closing the nexus between KM and policy making could make policies more responsive to the evolvement of internal and external conditions, but turning knowledge into policy means that knowledge should not be disconnected from its sources, in terms of people and places.Practical implicationsThe analysis of the UN experience provides food for thought for all the professionals and organizations alike involved in KM processes of comparable complexity.Originality/valueFrom a conceptual viewpoint, the study addresses the important issue of KM applied to complex policy‐making processes. The study of the KM solutions adopted to face this complexity provides insights for both scholars and practitioners.

Waldhauser, G.T., Johansson, M., Bäckström, M. & Mecklinger, A. (2011). Trait anxiety, working memory capacity, and the effectiveness of memory suppression. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology 52, 21–27.We aimed at replicating the finding that humans are able to suppress unwanted memories, and tested whether this ability varies with individual differences in working memory capacity, trait anxiety and defensiveness. In a think/no‐think experiment, participants either recalled or suppressed previously learned words for 0, 8 or 16 times. Suppression did not have an overall detrimental effect on later recall performance. However, higher recall rates after repeated suppression were exclusively predicted by higher trait anxiety. These results are discussed in relation to current theories on anxiety and executive control.

Published: November 2010

AbstractObjective  This study aimed to compare the clinical efficacies of 1550‐ and 1565‐nm Er:glass lasers in the treatment of periorbital wrinkles and to evaluate histological changes after treatment.Methods  Twenty patients received five treatments each at 3‐week intervals. The right periorbital area was exposed to the 1550‐nm Er:glass laser and the left periorbital area was exposed to the 1565‐nm Er:glass laser. Clinical improvement was evaluated by two blinded physicians who assessed comparative photographs using a four‐point scale at baseline and 3 months after the final treatments. Skin biopsies were performed in five volunteers before treatment and at 3 months after the final treatment.Results  The mean improvement scores 3 months after treatment with the 1550‐ and 1565‐nm Er:glass lasers were 2.25 ± 0.62 and 2.28 ± 0.59 respectively. Histological examination revealed increased epidermal thickening and decreased solar elastosis 3 months after the final laser treatments.Conclusions  Both 1550‐ and 1565‐nm Er:glass lasers are safe and effective modalities in the treatment of periorbital wrinkles with no significant differences between the two lasers.
Lower Frailty Incidence in Older Mexican Americans than in Older European Americans: The San Antonio Longitudinal Study of Aging
Authors: Espinoza Sara E. , Jung Inkyung , Hazuda Helen 
Published: November 2010

OBJECTIVES: To directly compare frailty incidence of older Mexican American (MA) and European American (EA) adults.DESIGN: Longitudinal, observational cohort study.SETTING: Socioeconomically diverse neighborhoods in San Antonio, Texas.PARTICIPANTS: Three hundred one older MA and 305 older EA adults in the San Antonio Longitudinal Study of Aging (SALSA) who were nonfrail at baseline.MEASUREMENTS: Frailty was assessed at baseline, and three follow‐ups conducted over an average of 9.9 years using well‐established criteria from the Cardiovascular Health Study. Covariates were baseline age, sex, socioeconomic status (SES), prefrailty status, diabetes mellitus, and comorbidity. The adjusted ethnic odds (MA vs EA) of incident frailty were estimated using generalized estimating equations.RESULTS: There was no ethnic difference in the unadjusted incidence of frailty over the three follow‐up examinations (odds ratio (OR)=0.97, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.62–1.52), even though baseline SES was significantly lower in MAs than EAs. After covariate adjustment, the odds of incident frailty were significantly lower for MAs than EAs (OR=0.40, 95% CI=0.23–0.72). Other significant predictors of frailty in the adjusted model were pre‐frailty (present vs absent OR=3.19, 95% CI=1.86–5.47), education (1‐year increment OR=0.89, 95% CI=0.83–0.96), and income (1‐year increment OR=0.88, 95% CI=0.79–2.04).CONCLUSION: These findings lend support to the Hispanic Paradox and suggest that MAs who live to older ages are less likely than similarly aged EAs to become frail. Further research is needed to identify the underlying biological and social mechanisms that explain this finding to enhance the development of interventions for the prevention and treatment of this clinical geriatric syndrome.
Analysis of genitourinary anomalies in patients with VACTERL (Vertebral anomalies, Anal atresia, Cardiac malformations, Tracheo‐Esophageal fistula, Renal anomalies, Limb abnormalities) association
Authors: Solomon Benjamin D. , Raam Manu S. , Pineda‐Alvarez Daniel E. 
Published: November 2010

AbstractThe goal of this study was to describe a novel pattern of genitourinary (GU) anomalies in VACTERL association, which involves congenital anomalies affecting the vertebrae, anus, heart, trachea and esophagus, kidneys, and limbs. We collected clinical data on 105 patients diagnosed with VACTERL association and analyzed a subset of 89 patients who met more stringent inclusion criteria. Twenty‐one percent of patients have GU anomalies, which are more severe (but not more frequent) in females. Anomalies were noted in patients without malformations affecting the renal, lower vertebral, or lower gastrointestinal systems. There should be a high index of suspicion for the presence of GU anomalies even in patients who do not have spatially similar malformations.
Luminescence Spectroscopic Observation of Singlet Oxygen Formation in Extra Virgin Olive Oil as Affected by Irradiation Light Wavelengths, 1,4‐Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, Irradiation Time, and Oxygen Bubbling

Published: November 2010

Abstract:  A spectrofluorometer equipped with a highly sensitive near‐IR InGaAs detector was used for the direct visualization of singlet oxygen emission at 1268 nm in olive oil during light irradiation with various different wavelengths. The virgin olive oil in methylene chloride (20% w/v, oxygen saturated) was irradiated at the 301, 417, 454, 483, and 668 nm, then the emission at 1268 nm, singlet oxygen dimole decaying was observed. The result showed the highest production of 1O2 with light irradiation at 417 nm, and followed by at 668 nm in virgin olive oil, indicating that pheophytin a and chlorophyll a were the most responsible components for the production of singlet oxygen. The UV light irradiations at the wavelength of 200, 250, and 300 nm did not induce any detectable luminescence emission at 1268 nm, but 350 nm produced weak emission at 1269 nm. The quantity of 1O2 produced with excitation at 350 nm was about 1/6 of that of irradiation at 417 nm. Addition of an efficient 1O2 quencher, 1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, in virgin olive oil in methylene chloride greatly decreased the luminescence emission at 1268 nm, confirming the singlet oxygen production in olive oil. Singlet oxygen production was more efficient in oxygen‐purged virgin olive oil than in oxygen non‐purged olive oil. This represents first report on the direct observation of singlet oxygen formation in olive oil as well as in real‐food system after visible light illumination.Practical Application:  The present results show the positive evidence of the singlet oxygen involvement in rapid oxidative deterioration of virgin olive oil under visible light. This paper also shows the effects of different wavelength of light irradiation on the formation of singlet oxygen in olive oil. The present results would provide important information for the understanding of the mechanism involved in rapid oxidative quality deterioration of virgin olive oil under light illumination and for searching the preventive methods of deterioration of olive oil quality under light.

Published: November 2010

AbstractMolecular sexing is a key component in the investigation of wild populations. In this study, we developed a fast, accurate and reliable amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) technique for sex determination of red panda based on the exon 4 of the ZFX/ZFY gene. The amplicons were distinguished simply by agarose gel electrophoresis, exhibiting one fragment in females (X: 300 bp) and two in males (X: 300 bp, Y: 166 bp). Robustness of this ARMS system was confirmed by testing both 43 captive red pandas using DNA samples with known‐sex and 10 wild red pandas using faecal DNA samples with unknown sex.

ABSTRACT

A targeted metagenomic approach was applied to investigate magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) within the phylum
Nitrospirae
in Lake Miyun near Beijing, China. Five fosmids containing rRNA operons were identified. Comparative sequence analysis of a total of 172 kb provided new insights into their genome organization and revealed unexpected subgenomic diversity of uncultivated MTB in the phylum
Nitrospirae
. In addition, affiliation of two novel MTB with the phylum
Nitrospirae
was verified by fluorescence
in situ
hybridization. One of them was morphologically similar to “
Candidatus
Magnetobacterium bavaricum,” but the other differed substantially in cell shape and magnetosome organization from all previously described “
Ca.
Magnetobacterium bavaricum”-like bacteria.
Molecular systematics and morphological character evolution of the Condamineeae (Rubiaceae)
Authors: Kainulainen Kent , Persson Claes , Eriksson Torsten , Bremer Birgitta 
Published: November 2010

• Premise of the study: The Condamineeae have in previous molecular studies been shown to be part of an early‐divergent clade within the subfamily Ixoroideae, together with the tribes Calycophylleae, and Hippotideae, and genera of the former Cinchoneae and Rondeletieae. Generic relationships within this clade have, however, remained largely unresolved.• Methods: In this study, the systematics of the Condamineeae was further examined by phylogenetic reconstruction of six cpDNA regions and one nrDNA region using parsimony and Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo inference. Morphological character evolution within the tribe was assessed by ancestral state reconstruction using likelihood optimization of characters onto Bayesian trees.• Key results: Calycophylleae appears polyphyletic. “Hippotideae” is monophyletic but nested within the Condamineeae. The phylogenetic hypotheses presented support a resurrection of the genera Holtonia, Schizocalyx, and Semaphyllanthe. Furthermore, Bathysa is found to be polyphyletic, Tresanthera is found nested within Rustia, and the taxonomically disputed genus Dialypetalanthus is here shown to be sister to a Bothriospora–Wittmackanthus clade. Morphological ancestral state reconstructions indicate that protogyny have evolved at least two times within the tribe and that indehiscent fruits, loculicidal fruit dehiscence, and intrapetiolar stipules have evolved independently several times. The occurrence of calycophylls (leaf‐like calyx lobes), poricidal anthers, and winged seeds also appear homoplastic within the tribe.• Conclusions: A diagnosis and delimitation of the tribe Condamineeae is presented, with taxonomic proposals to synonymize Tresanthera and to transfer several species of Bathysa as well as Phitopis to a resurrected Schizocalyx.
Isocyanides in the Synthesis of Nitrogen Heterocycles
Authors: Lygin Alexander V. , de Meijere Armin 
Published: November 2010

AbstractIsocyanides have long proved themselves to be irreplaceable building blocks in modern organic chemistry. The unique features of the isocyano group make isocyanides particularly useful for the synthesis of a number of important classes of nitrogen heterocycles, such as pyrroles, indoles, and quinolines. Several cocyclizations of isocyanides via zwitterions and radical intermediates as well as transition‐metal‐catalyzed syntheses of different types of heterocycles have recently been developed. Methods starting from isocyanides often have distinct advantages over alternative approaches to the same heterocycles because of their enhanced convergence, the great simplicity of most of the operations with them, and the great variety of isocyanides readily available for use. Isocyanides have also been used in some enantioselective syntheses of chiral heterocyclic compounds, including natural products as well as precursors thereof.

Published: November 2010

AbstractObjectiveThe association of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and malignancy has rarely been explored in Asian populations. The aim of this study was to investigate the relative risk of cancer in Taiwanese patients with RA and to identify groups of patients with a high risk of cancer.MethodsWe conducted a nationwide cohort study of the risk of cancer among 23,644 patients with RA who had no history of malignancies, using the National Health Insurance database of Taiwan from 1996 to 2007. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) for various cancers were analyzed.ResultsAmong the patients with RA, 935 cancers were observed. Patients with RA had an increased risk of cancer (SIR 1.23, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.22–1.23), especially hematologic cancers (SIR 2.74, 95% CI 2.68–2.81). The relative risk of cancer was higher among younger patients. Most cancer cases were detected within the first year following the diagnosis of RA. The relative risk of cancer decreased as the duration of observation increased. Among hematologic cancers, the risk of non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma was greatest (SIR 3.54, 95% CI 3.45–3.63). Among solid tumors, the risk of cancers of the kidney and vagina/vulva was highest. A decreased risk of cancers of the cervix and nonmelanoma skin cancer in patients with RA was also observed.ConclusionPatients with RA have an increased risk of cancer, especially hematologic and kidney cancers. The relative risk of cancer in patients with RA decreased with long‐term followup. Cancer screening with continued vigilance is recommended for patients with RA.
How to manage no reflow phenomenon with local drug delivery via a rapid exchange catheter
Authors: Wilson William , Eccleston David 
Published: November 2010

AbstractWe describe two cases of no reflow phenomenon in the setting of primary PCI for ST elevation myocardial infarction successfully managed with intracoronary vasodilator therapy via a Clearway™ balloon catheter, where vasodilator therapy via the guiding catheter had been ineffective. Traditionally, if not given via the guiding catheter, vasodilators have been administered via an over‐the‐wire balloon catheter, which can be cumbersome and time consuming. The Clearway catheter is a rapid exchange balloon catheter affording rapid delivery of vasodilators to the distal infarct related artery without risk of loss of wire position. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Published: November 2010

AbstractTwo novel fluorophores based on the (2,1‐a)‐indenofluorenyl backbone, dispiro[fluorene‐9,11′‐indeno[2,1‐a]fluorene‐12′,9′′‐fluorene], (2,1‐a)‐DSF‐IF and 11,12‐dihydroindeno[2,1‐a]fluorene (2,1‐a)‐IF have been prepared through original and efficient synthetic approaches. After consideration of synthetic features, the structural, optical and electrochemical properties of these new blue/violet emitters have been studied in detail by a combined experimental and theoretical approach. The properties of the (2,1‐a)‐DSF‐IF and (2,1‐a)‐IF are also compared to those of their corresponding positional isomers based on the (1,2‐b)‐indenofluorenyl backbone and those of related dispirofluorene heteroacenes.
Enantioselective Cycloadditions of 2‐Alkenoylpyridine‐N‐oxides Catalysed by a Bis(oxazoline)/CuII Complex: Structure of the Reactive Intermediate
Authors: Livieri Alessandro , Boiocchi Massimo , Desimoni Giovanni , Faita Giuseppe 
Published: November 2010

AbstractDiels–Alder and 1,3‐dipolar cycloadditions involving (E)‐3‐aryl‐1‐(pyridin‐2‐yl‐N‐oxide)prop‐2‐en‐1‐ones as the 2π components are efficiently catalysed by bis(oxazoline)–CuII complexes. The cycloadducts are obtained in quantitative yields with up to 98 % ee; absolute configurations were determined by X‐ray analysis. The structure of the reactive complex, determined by X‐ray analysis, is fully consistent with the stereochemical outcome of the catalysed process (approach of the diene or nitrone to the less hindered face of the coordinated pyridine‐N‐oxide derivative).
