description: The Papuan languages of Timor, Alor, Pantar and Kisar have long been thought to be members of a single family. However, their relatedness has not yet been established through the rigorous application of the comparative method. Recent historical work has shown the relatedness of the languages of Alor and Pantar on the one hand (Holton et al. 2012), and those of Timor and Kisar on the other (Schapper et al. 2012). In this chapter, we present a preliminary demonstration of the relatedness of the Timor-Alor-Pantar family based on a comparison of these two reconstructions. We identify a number of regular consonant correspondences across cognate vocabulary between the two groups and reconstruct a list of 89 proto-TAP roots.

Traversing correctional space : the tensions between justice, ethics and aesthetics.

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The Barwon Interviews is a visual project that has been produced with the assistance of Corrections Victoria and the approval of the Victorian Department of Justice. The research data was generated through the process of filming interviews and conducting a journal workshop with twelve prisoners from Barwon Prison. The final iteration, presented as the examination exhibition for this doctoral project, represents a translation of their individual experiences and their responses to incarceration. In order to determine how video can be used to represent the prisoners experience from a critical and ethical perspective, the work enacts a number of visual and conceptual strategies. These methods and tactics seek to question the objective representation of criminals as delinquent, manipulative and different. By examining the conventional aesthetic strategies and ideological practises of the media and of corrections authorities in constructing social categories as a means of repression, the work seeks to answer this question: how might art provide an alternative representation, one that gives voice to the experience of incarceration? Of concern are the complex interwoven relationships between the symbolic, and the real, as explored through the practice of representation. In a cultural politics of multiple truths, rhetoric and mimicry, we might still search for a sense of 'the actual' or 'the lived'. Can video provide a real life portrait of the incarcerated individual and can this be the basis for a claim to actuality? To witness the way incarceration regulates behaviour we have to go beneath the surface of the image and look at the non-linguistic or performed elements. Particularising the data, using it in expressive as well as useful ways by composing movements and gestures that might contradict what is being said, we are able to explore the masks worn by prisoners and concentrate on the tensions and frictions between public and private, conscious and unconscious spheres. The impossibility of establishing truth also acts as commentary on the nature of language, perception and self-regulation. The world of the prisoner is alienated, fractured and far removed from the respectability of 'civilized' society. This displacement ostensibly takes on added meaning in the judicial system and in the mainstream media industry where the criminal becomes a symbol of 'moral otherness'. By creating a viewing space where the hierarchical stance between the spectator and the prisoner is reformulated, I aim to revisit this inter-subjective relationship.

description: The wider genealogical affiliations of the Timor-Alor-Pantar languages have been the subject of much speculation. These languages are surrounded by unrelated Austronesian languages, and attempts to locate related languages have focused on Papuan languages 800 km or more distant. This chapter draws on typological, pronominal, and especially lexical evidence to examine three hypotheses regarding the higher-level affiliations of the Timor-Alor-Pantar languages: (1) the languages are related to the North Halmaheran (West Papuan) languages; (2) the languages are part of the Trans-New Guinea family; and (3) the languages are related to the West Bomberai family, with no link to Trans-NewGuinea more broadly. We rely in particular on recent reconstructions of proto-Timor-Alor-Pantar vocabulary. Of the hypotheses evaluated here, we find the most striking similarities between TAP and the West Bomberai family. However, we conclude that the evidence currently available is insufficient to confirm a genealogical relationship with West Bomberai or any other family, and hence, TAP must be considered a family-level isolate.

description: Current English for 14 is fourteen but mathematically it is ten & four. Research on number sense, counting, arithmetic and the predictive value for later mathematical abilities tends to be methodologically invalid when it doesn't measure true number sense that can develop when the numbers are pronounced in mathematical proper fashion. Researchers can correct by including proper names in the research design, but this involves some choices, and when each research design adopts a different scheme, also differently across languages, then results become incomparable. A standard would be useful, both ISO for general principles and national implementations. Research may not have the time to wait for such (inter ) national consensus. This article suggests principles of design and implementations for said languages. This can support the awareness about the need for a process towards ISO and national consensus, and in the mean time provides a baseline for research.

Evoking the built governance, several authors stress its crucial role, although considered indirect, in the creation of value (Charreaux, 1998) .However, the various research on the governance of cooperatives have taken a simplistic approach to reconciliation blind the classic business regardless of the reason for characterizing particular cooperative. In this article we will return further on the specifics of governance of cooperatives in the light of organizational characteristics thereof and the topics covered by the main currents of governance.

description: Sclerostin has been reported to be a novel biomarker associated with the bone-vascular axis. In this study, we determined the relationships between serum sclerostin and all-cause mortality, the prevalence of cardiovascular events (CVEs), and coronary artery calcifications (CACs) in dialysis patients. A total of 165 dialysis patients (84 hemodialysis [HD] and 81 peritoneal dialysis [PD]) were enrolled in this study. We performed multivariable linear regression analysis to test the relationships between serum sclerostin levels and demographics and clinical parameters. We also performed Cox proportional hazard regression analysis to determine independent predictors of overall survival and CVEs. The median serum sclerostin level was 250.9 pg/mL in dialysis patients. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that both overall and CVE-free survival rates were significantly lower in the high serum sclerostin group (serum sclerostin level >250.9 pg/mL) compared to the low serum sclerostin group (serum sclerostin level ≤250.9 pg/mL) in patients with PD (p < 0.05). In patients with HD, only CVE-free survival rates notably declined in the high serum sclerostin group compared to the low serum sclerostin group (p = 0.029). However, serum sclerostin level was only an independent predictor of all-cause mortality and CVEs in patients with PD after adjusting for confounding factors (p < 0.05), and therefore was not an independent predictor for patients with HD (p > 0.05). A low serum sclerostin was associated with better overall survival and lower prevalence of CVEs in patients with PD, but had no relationships in patients with HD. We found that serum sclerostin level was not correlated with CACs in either patients with HD or PD.

description: BACKGROUND: Central systolic and pulse pressures are markers of risk for small vessel disease in the brain and kidneys. The extent to which these markers are reproducible in the setting of population studies is less well established. We estimated short-term repeatability of central systolic and pulse pressures, and those of their peripheral measures for comparison. METHODS: Participants aged 65 years and over (n = 79, 56% women) were drawn from the 2011-2013 examination of the ARIC cohort. Measurements were obtained with automated devices in the supine position, except for conventional sitting pressures, from paired measurements at each of 2 visits separated by 4 to 8 weeks. Three-level variance component models with between-participant, between-visit, and within-visit components estimated reliability metrics. RESULTS: Mean central systolic and pulse pressures were higher than conventional brachial measures, yet their 4 to 8 week measurement repeatability was similar: reliability coefficients were 0.62 (95% confidence interval: 0.49, 0.74) and 0.63 (0.51, 0.76) for central and sitting brachial systolic pressures, and 0.66 (0.54. 0.77) and 0.73 (0.63, 0.82) for their corresponding pulse pressures. Between-participant variation contributed to two-thirds of the short-term repeatability for all measures. Within-visit variation remained uniformly low across visits. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that the average of 2 standardized measurements obtained at a single visit can provide reliable estimates of central systolic and pulse pressures. The reliability coefficients of central and peripheral blood pressure measures were comparable. Estimates are presented of minimal detectable change and difference to aid in study design and evaluation of analytic results.

description: Si on a à caractériser en une expression l’attitude intellectuelle de Schumpeter, dans « Capitalisme, socialisme et démocratie », on dira sans hésitation qu’elle est celle d’un « positiviste inquiet ». Une telle explication peut paraître surprenante lorsqu’on est sensible au scepticisme, au cynisme qui sont clairs dans son œuvre. Mais, derrière le cynisme se dissimule l’incertitude. Schumpeter se veut profondément positiviste, il analyse une société qui évolue sans infléchir sa recherche selon ses préférences doctrinales. Seuls les faits importent. Schumpeter considère que l’être humain est doué d’intelligence, il est émotif et capable de volonté – utilisation d’une psychologie classique, la psychologie des facultés de l’âme-, mais toute la difficulté est de savoir, quels rapports jouent entre ces diverses facultés. Alors apparaît toute l’ambiguïté de sa pensée. C’est ce que le présent texte essaye de montrer.

description: Education is the source of knowledge, as it is an effective tool to transfer the cultural and technical experiences produced by humanity through its long historical career. Particularly, education in Algeria has gained support at all levels especially recently. So, the state paid special attention to the reform of higher education through the LMD system to keep up with the change under the global challenges by focusing on the requirements of quality management. In recent years, there is a growing interest about applying quality to improve education especially higher education, which brought fundamental changes in the educational system as a result of what many countries done in this field, including the Arabic countries. Therefore, Algeria still seeks to achieve this objective by trying to join those countries, through reforming the sector in line with the requirements of quality management in the higher educational institutions. So we decide to divide this paper into two sections. The first is about the quality management, its standards and their benefits. The second section reviews the Algerian experience in the field of higher education and the reforms undertaken in the beginning of this century, and compared the results with the quality standards. We sum up that despite the benefits of the application of the LMD system in Algeria, but the low output of higher education which is not up to the market of the job, requires more efforts from Algeria to lives up the best score. Finally, we came up with recommendations suggest how Algeria access the Arabic states that have followed this approach in their higher educational institutions.

description: The complement system has been recently proposed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). This study evaluated the value of serum and kidney deposited C3 in predicting renal outcomes in AAV. This was a retrospective study of 47 patients with AAV, who were categorized according to their serum C3 levels as hypo- or normo-complementemic and to those with positive or negative kidney biopsy immunofluorescence (IF) for C3. Baseline characteristics as well as progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) between the 2 groups were compared. In total, 23% (11/47) were hypo-complementemic; these patients were older (74 vs. 65 years, p = 0.013), had higher creatinine levels (4.9 vs. 2.2 mg/dL, p = 0.006), were more often hemodialysis dependent (64% vs. 19%, p = 0.009) and progressed more often to ESRD (55% vs. 11%, p = 0.01) compared to normo-complementemic patients (n = 36). On multivariate analysis, serum creatinine at diagnosis (HR = 16.8, 95%CI: 1.354–208.62, p = 0.028) and low serum C3 (HR = 2.492; 95% CI: 1.537–11.567; p = 0.044) were independent predictors for ESRD. Among 25 patients with an available kidney biopsy, 56% had C3 deposition by IF and displayed more often a mixed histological pattern (72% vs. 27%, p = 0.033), low serum C3 levels (42% vs. 18%, p < 0.001) and serious infections during follow-up (57% vs. 18%, p = 0.047) compared to those with negative (n = 11) IF staining. Almost one of four patients with AAV has low C3 levels at diagnosis which is associated with more severe renal disease and worse renal outcomes (ESRD). This should be taken into account in therapeutic and monitoring strategies.

description: BACKGROUND: Intradialytic hypertension occurs in 5-20% of hemodialysis treatments. Observational data support an association between intradialytic hypertension and long-term mortality. However, the short-term consequences of recurrent intradialytic hypertension are unknown. METHODS: Data were taken from a cohort of prevalent hemodialysis patients receiving treatment at a large United States dialysis organization on 1 January 2010. A retrospective cohort design with a 180-day baseline, 30-day exposure assessment, and 30-day follow-up period was used to estimate the associations between intradialytic hypertension frequency and 30-day outcomes. Intradialytic hypertension frequency was defined as the proportion of exposure period hemodialysis treatments with a predialysis to postdialysis systolic blood pressure rise >0 mm Hg. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression, adjusted for baseline clinical, laboratory, and dialysis treatment covariates, was used to estimate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: Of the 37,094 study patients, 5,242 (14.1%), 17,965 (48.4%), 10,821 (29.2%), 3,066 (8.3%) had intradialytic hypertension in 0%, 1-32%, 33-66%, and ≥67% of exposure period treatments, respectively. More frequent intradialytic hypertension was associated with incremental increases in 30-day mortality and hospitalizations. Patients with intradialytic hypertension in ≥67% (vs. 0%) of exposure period treatments had the highest risk of all-cause death, hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]: 2.57 [1.68, 3.94]; cardiovascular (CV) death, 3.68 [1.89, 7.15]; all-cause hospitalizations, 1.42 [1.26, 1.62]; CV hospitalizations, 1.71 [1.36, 2.15]; and volume-related hospitalizations, 2.25 [1.25, 4.04]. CONCLUSIONS: Among prevalent hemodialysis patients, more frequent intradialytic hypertension was incrementally associated with increased 30-day morbidity and mortality. Intradialytic hypertension may be an important short-term risk marker in the hemodialysis population.

description: A good prediction model plays an important role in determining the progression to diabetic kidney disease. We aimed to create a model to predict progression to kidney failure in patients with diabetic kidney disease. We retrospectively assessed 641 patients with type 2 diabetic kidney disease as derivation cohort and 280 patients as external out time validation cohort. We used a combination of clinical guidance and univariate logistic regression to select the relevant variables. We calculated the discrimination and calibration of different models. The best model was selected according to the optimal combination of discrimination and calibration. During the 3 years follow up, there were 272 outcomes (42%) in derivation cohort and 138 outcomes (49%) in external validation cohort. The final variables selected in the multivariate logistics regression were age, gender, hemoglobin, NLR, serum cystatin C, eGFR, 24-h urine protein, and the use of oral hypoglycemic drugs. We developed four different models as clinical, laboratory, lab-medication, and full models according to these independent risk factors. Laboratory model performed well in both discrimination and calibration among all the models (C-statistics: external validation 0.863; p value of the Hosmer–Lemeshow, .817). There was no significant difference in NRI among laboratory model, lab-medication model, and full model (p > .05). So, we chose the laboratory model as the optimal model. We constructed a nomogram which contained hemoglobin, NLR, serum cystatin C, eGFR, and 24-h urine protein to predict the risk of patients with diabetic kidney disease initiating renal replacement in 3 years.

description: BACKGROUND: Greater arterial stiffness is associated independently with increased cardiovascular disease risk. The American Heart Association (AHA) has recommended following "Life's Simple 7 (LS7)" to optimize cardiovascular health; we tested whether better LS7 in middle age is associated with less arterial stiffness in later life. METHODS: We studied 4,232 black and white participants aged 45-64 years at the baseline (1987-89) visit of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study cohort who also had arterial stiffness measured in 2011-13 (mean ± SD interval: 23.6 ± 1.0 years). We calculated a 14-point summary score for baseline LS7 and classified participants as having "poor" (0-4), "average" (5-9), or "ideal" (10-14) cardiovascular health. We used logistic regression to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for arterial stiffening: a high carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV, ≥13.23 m/s) or a high central pulse pressure (central PP, ≥ 82.35 mm Hg). RESULTS: The age, race, sex, and heart rate-adjusted ORs (95% CI) for high cfPWV in the "ideal," "average," and "poor" LS7 summary categories were 1 (Reference), 1.30 (1.11, 1.53), and 1.68 (1.10,2.56), respectively (P-trend = 0.0003). Similarly, the adjusted ORs (95% CI) for high central PP across LS7 summary categories were 1 (Reference), 1.48 (1.27, 1.74), and 1.63 (1.04, 2.56), respectively (P-trend <0.0001). CONCLUSION: Greater LS7 score in middle age is associated with less arterial stiffness 2-3 decades later. These findings further support the AHA recommendation to follow LS7 for cardiovascular disease prevention.

description: This study attempts to establish a Bayesian networks (BNs) based model for inferring the risk of AKI in gastrointestinal cancer (GI) patients, and to compare its predictive capacity with other machine learning (ML) models. From 1 October 2014 to 30 September 2015, we recruited 6495 inpatients with GI cancers in a tertiary hospital in eastern China. Data on demographics, clinical and laboratory indicators were retrospectively extracted from the electronic medical record system. Predictors of AKI were selected in gLASSO regression, and further incorporated into BNs analysis. The incidences of AKI in patients with esophagus, stomach, and intestine cancer were 20.5%, 13.9%, and 12.5%, respectively. Through gLASSO, 11 predictors were screened out, including diabetes, cancer category, anti-tumor treatment, ALT, serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), serum uric acid (SUA), hypoalbuminemia, anemia, abnormal sodium, and potassium. BNs model revealed that cancer category, treatment, eGFR, and hypoalbuminemia had direct connections with AKI. Diabetes and SUA were indirectly linked to AKI through eGFR, and anemia created connections with AKI through affecting album level. Compared with other ML models, BNs model maintained a higher AUC value in both the internal and external validation (AUC: 0.823/0.790). BNs model not only delineates the qualitative and quantitative relationship between AKI and its associated factors but shows the more robust generalizability in AKI prediction.

description: Parasite epidemics may be influenced by interactions among symbionts, which can depend on past events at multiple spatial scales. Within host individuals, interactions can depend on the sequence in which symbionts infect a host, generating priority effects. Across host individuals, interactions can depend on parasite phenology. To test the roles of parasite interactions and phenology in epidemics, we embedded multiple cohorts of sentinel plants, grown from seeds with and without a vertically transmitted symbiont, into a wild host population, and tracked foliar infections caused by three common fungal parasites. Within hosts, parasite growth was influenced by coinfections, but coinfections were often prevented by priority effects among symbionts. Across hosts, parasite phenology altered host susceptibility to secondary infections, symbiont interactions and ultimately the magnitude of parasite epidemics. Together, these results indicate that parasite phenology can influence parasite epidemics by altering the sequence of infection and interactions among symbionts within host individuals.

description: BACKGROUND: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a noninvasive measure of arterial stiffness and predictor of cardiovascular disease. However, the association between PWV and vascular calcification across different vascular beds has not been fully investigated. This study aimed to quantify the association between PWV and multiterritory calcification and to explore whether PWV can identify individuals with vascular calcification beyond traditional risk factors. METHODS AND RESULTS: Among 1351 older adults (mean age, 79.2years [SD, 4.1]) from the ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) study, we measured segment-specific PWVs: heart-carotid, heart-femoral, carotid-femoral, heart-ankle, brachial-ankle, and femoral-ankle. Dependent variables were high calcium score (≥75th percentile of Agatston score) across different vascular beds: coronary arteries, aortic valve ring, aortic valve, mitral valve, ascending aorta, and descending aorta. Quartiles of carotid-femoral, heart-femoral, heart-ankle, and brachial-ankle PWV were significantly associated with coronary artery calcium (eg, adjusted odds ratio [OR] for the highest versus lowest quartile of carotid-femoral PWV, 1.84 [95% CI, 1.24-2.74]). Overall, PWVs were most strongly associated with descending aorta calcification, with significant results for carotid-femoral, heart-femoral, heart-ankle, and brachial-ankle PWV (eg, adjusted OR for the highest versus lowest quartile of carotid-femoral PWV, 3.99 [95% CI, 2.61-6.17]). In contrast, femoral-ankle PWV was inversely associated with descending aorta calcification. Some PWVs improved the discrimination of coronary artery calcium and descending aorta calcification beyond traditional risk factors. CONCLUSIONS: The associations of PWV with vascular calcification varied substantially across segments, with descending aorta calcification most closely linked to PWVs. Our study suggests that some PWVs, especially carotid-femoral PWV, are helpful to identify individuals with coronary artery calcium and descending aorta calcification.
Motivational Impairments in Autism May Be Broader Than Previously Thought

description: Social communication impairments have been a defining feature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) since Leo Kanner’s seminal description of 11 children with idiosyncratic social behaviors.1 In the 75 years since Kanner’s pivotal article, ASD research has focused on understanding and ameliorating the social communication and social cognitive impairments that are a defining feature of the disorder. Recently, however, the social motivation hypothesis of autism has been proposed as a novel account of the causal mechanisms of social impairments in ASD. This framework suggests that certain individuals with ASD are less motivated to interact with other people and derive less pleasure from social interactions. This account of ASD was initially proposed by Dawson and colleagues2 in 2005 to describe impaired electrophysiological responses to faces and the potential developmental outcomes of such impairments on the emergence of face expertise in ASD. Chevalier et al3 expanded the description of this framework in 2012 by considering the behavioral, neurobiological, and evolutionary features of the social motivation hypothesis of autism and suggested brain systems (orbitofrontal–striatal–amygdala neural circuitry) that are likely to account for social motivational impairments in ASD.

description: The association of serum elabela (ELA) and apelin with the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unknown. We determined if serum ELA and apelin levels were associated with CKD stage. This observational study involved 60 CKD patients and 20 healthy, age-, race-, and gender-matched controls. The participants were grouped according to renal function as follows: normal control group, CKD1 group (stage-1 CKD, 20 patients), CKD3 group (stage-3 CKD, 20 patients), and CKD5 group (stage-5 CKD, 20 patients) in accordance with the Kidney Disease Outcomes – Quality Initiative criteria. We recorded the demographic, clinical, and biochemical data of all participants. Serum ELA and apelin levels were measured using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Serum ELA levels gradually and significantly declined with decreases in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Serum ELA showed significant negative correlations with serum creatinine (r = −0.529, p < .001), blood urea nitrogen (r = −0.575, p < .001), systolic blood pressure (r = −0.455, p < .001), and diastolic blood pressure (r = −0.450, p < .001), and significant positive correlations with hemoglobin (r = 0.523, p < .001) and eGFR (r = 0.728, p < .001). Multiple regression analysis showed that eGFR independently influenced serum ELA levels. No significant association was found between serum apelin levels and CKD progression. In CKD patients, serum ELA levels decreased with decreasing eGFR. This finding may provide a new target for the prediction, diagnosis, and staging of CKD.

description: A large interarm difference in brachial systolic blood pressure (SBP) (≥10 or ≥15 mmHg) is strongly associated with elevated cardiovascular events and mortality. Evidence demonstrating whether such contralateral differences in SBP occur in ankle blood pressure and its association with arterial stiffness is scarce. The aims of this study were to characterize arm and ankle contralateral SBP differences in a sample of community-dwelling older adults (5077), and to determine whether this difference is associated with arterial stiffness assessed by pulse wave velocity (PWV) between the heart and ankle (haPWV), femoral artery and ankle (faPWV), and brachial artery and ankle (baPWV) in the right and left sides. Prevalence of interarm SBP differences ≥10 and ≥15 mmHg was 5.1% and .7%, respectively; the corresponding prevalence for interankle SBP was 24.9% and 12.0%. Higher BMI and lower ankle-brachial index (ABI) were significantly correlated with greater interarm SBP differences. Increased age, higher BMI, lower ABI, and greater contralateral differences in haPWV, faPWV, and baPWV were significantly correlated to greater interankle SBP differences. Interankle SBP difference ≥15 mmHg was significantly associated with contralateral differences of >80 cm/s in haPWV (OR = 1.94 [95% CI = 1.52-2.49]), >165 cm/s in faPWV (OR = 1.64 [95% CI = 1.27-2.12]), and >240 cm/s in baPWV (OR = 2.43 [95% CI = 1.94-3.05]). The associations remained significant after adjustment for age, sex, race, BMI, smoking status, and ABI. Compared with interarm differences, interankle differences in SBP are common in older adults. The magnitude of interankle, but not interarm, differences in SBP is associated with various measures of arterial stiffness.

The Scales of Justice in Equilibrium. The ECJ’s Strategic Resolution of Ambiguity in Stefano Melloni v Ministerio Fiscal 2013 (Case C-399/11)

description: The Melloni preliminary reference demands that the European Court of Justice (ECJ) weighs considerations of fundamental rights and those of mutual trust directly against each other, while deciding whether the principle of primacy of EU law is to be understood in absolute or in conditional terms in this legal context. At the same time, the textual analysis of Article 53 CFREU supports two contrasting, but equally compelling, lines of interpretation of the principle of primacy of EU law. Thus, the scales of justice are left in equilibrium. My study will attempt to establish the symmetry between the legal and linguistic aspects of the interpretation of Article 53 CFREU in Melloni, in the hope of demonstrating how ambiguity might have shaped the setup for the ECJ’s decision-making process. The issuance of the Melloni preliminary ruling is understood as an act of ambiguity resolution by the ECJ that effectively tips the scales of justice in the direction which the ECJ views as strategically more advantageous for the implementation of the authority of EU law. Furthermore, my analysis will show how the ultimate resolution of this binary choice reveals the ECJ’s favoured approach in the implementation of the authority of EU law, namely system-building through concepts (Leczykiewicz, 2008), rather than system-maintenance through acceptability (Paunio, 2013).
