Organizing Modernity: New Weberian Perspectives on Work, Organization and Society

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Organizing Modernity provides a reassessment of the significance of Max Weber's work for the current debates about the institutional and organizational dynamics of modernity. It re-evalutates Weber's sociology of bureaucracy and his general account of the trajectory of modernity with reference to the strategic social structures that dominated the emergence and development of modern society. Included here are detailed analyses of contemporary issues such as the collapse of communism, fordism, coporatism and traditionalism in both Western and Eastern societies. All of the contributors are scholars of international repute. They undertake analyses of Weber's texts and his broader intellectual inheritance to reassert the centrality of Weberian sociology for our understanding of the moral, political and organizational dilemmas of late modernity. These analyses challenge orthodox readings of Weber as the prophet of the iron cage. Instead they offer interpretations of his work which emphasize the reality of modernity as a dual process with the potential for both disarticulation of rational structures and deeper colonization of daily life. Not only is this book essential reading for Weber specialists but it also provides compelling analyses of modernity and the inherently contingent nature of global cultural and stuctural transformation.
Career Counseling in the New Career Era

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Increasingly, policy makers and academics are becoming convinced of the need for lifelong access to external, i.e. employer-independent, career counseling. As careers are becoming increasingly turbulent, traditional career counseling services, which mainly focused on supporting students with making a career decision, are considered to be no longer appropriate. Contemporary career counseling centres are expected to be available to people in any stage of their career and to include help with developing the competences necessary to self-direct one’s career. Though there is large agreement on this new task of career counseling, empirical studies on career counseling keep focusing on samples of students and on variables related to the traditional goal of career counseling. In order to tackle this gap, we performed three empirical studies on issues related to the new role of career counseling. In this article, I describe these studies and discuss their implications for policy and practice.
EVALUATION OF CYTOTOXICITY AND GENOTOXICITY OF CHEMICAL MATERIAL IN PM2.5 FILTERS FROM THREE MONITORING STATIONS OF THE AIR QUALITY NETWORK OF THE ABURRÁ VALLEY

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The increase in air pollution and its adverse effects has raised concerns about regulatory policies and has encouraged the development of new air quality standards.Environmental toxicants can have various effects ranging from irritation to cell and tissue death; however, some genotoxic compounds produce alterations in the genetic material or its associated components, causing mutations or interfering with some repair or polymerization processes involved in chromosome segregation.The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect on the viability and genotoxic potential of PM 2.5 particulate matter obtained from filters collected from three monitoring stations of the air quality network in the Aburrá Valley, Colombia, on the CHO-K1 and Jurkat cell lines.The tests carried out revealed a reduction in cell viability and punctual damage to DNA.The results suggest that PM 2.5 material has genotoxic potential and can induce cancer development, as has been suggested in other studies.
Bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax associated with metastasis of a malignant fibrohistiocytoma.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The case of a 34-year-old female patient is presented. The patient was admitted because of bilateral pneumothorax caused by the metastasis of a malignant histiocytoma originating in the left gluteus. Bilateral chest-suction was made and the patient received complex chemotherapy. The chest X-ray taken 4 months later showed considerable regression of the lymph node metastases. Neither the time of development of pneumothorax nor its mechanism is known. There are only assumptions about it. Authors have considered their case worthy of publication because the lymph node metastasis of bilateral simultaneous pneumothorax due to histiocytoma has not so far been known in the literature.
[Usefulness of 123I-IMP SPECT in patients with epilepsy].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

N-isopropyl-p-[123I]iodoamphetamine(123I-IMP)SPECT and electroencephalography (EEG) were evaluated in 21 epileptic patients at interictal stage. The findings of 123I-IMP were compared with those of clinical symptoms and EEG. In 11 cases (85%) of 13 patients with the partial seizure, and 6 cases (75%) of 8 patients with the generalized seizure had focal decreased perfusion of 123I-IMP. The mean number of focal decreased perfusion areas were 3.2 locations 1 case. There were no cases that was observed focal increased perfusion. Focal decreased perfusion area of 123I-IMP SPECT findings agreed with the focuses those were inferred from clinical findings in 8 cases (62%) out of 13 patients with the partial seizure, did not agree in 3 cases (23%) and did not detected in 2 cases (15%). Overall abnormality of 123I-IMP SPECT was observed in 17 cases (81%) out of 21 patients, on the other hand abnormality of EEG was observed in 12 cases (57%). 123I-IMP SPECT may provide useful information for evaluating foci in patients with epilepsy.
Primary cutaneous adenoid-cystic carcinoma - rare differential diagnosis of a skin lesion of the external ear

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Primary cutaneous adenoid-cystic carcinomas are rare, slowly growing tumors most frequently located in the head and neck region. The median age at diagnosis is between 57-64 years. They may originate from apocrine and eccrine glands of the skin, but the exact origin remains unclear. Metastasis is possible, but occurs less frequently than from other primary sites. A 49-year-old woman presented with a painful skin lesion in the right external ear that had been present for two years. The clinical examination showed a bulging, skin-colored nodule. The sonographic examination of the neck including the major salivary glands did not show a pathological finding. Tissue samples were taken under local anesthesia and the diagnosis of low-grade adenoid-cystic carcinoma was established. The CT scan of the neck and thorax showed a contrast medium-absorbing tissue proliferation with contact to the petrous bone without osseous arrosion and did not indicate cervicothoracic metastases. A MRI scan was also performed to determine the exact extent of the primary tumor. A two-stage complete resection and defect coverage by a retroauricular insular flap was perfomed. After discussion in the interdisciplinary tumor conference, intensive clinical follow-up and MRI control in four months was recommended. Primary cutaneous adenoid-cystic carcinoma is a rare differential diagnosis of skin lesions of the head and neck region. The standard therapy is complete surgical excision, taking into consideration that perineural invasion is frequently present. The benefits of a subsequent radiotherapy is controversially discussed and is the subject of further studies.
A 94.1% Efficiency 20-180W GaN-Based Full-Bridge Wireless Power Receiver for High-Power Wireless Chargers

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, a 6.78MHz GaN-based full-bridge active rectifier with enhanced power conversion efficiency (PCE) and voltage conversion ratio (VCR) is proposed. The design features a bootstrap driver to actively switch the high-side GaN transistors, as well as real-time calibration loops to automatically compensate the circuit delays in the low-side control paths, such that the PCE and VCR are maximized with eliminated reverse current and optimal conduction time. The proposed active rectifier is designed and simulated in a 180nm BCD process, and verified under process, voltage and temperature (PVT) variations with power capacity from 20 to 180 W. Thanks to the proposed calibration loops, up to 25% and 20% PCE and VCR improvements, respectively, are observed under various PVT and loading conditions, with a peak PCE of 94.1% at 90-W output power and a peak VCR at 98% at 20-W output power.
Self-Similarity Dynamics of On-Off Intermittency

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We propose a new statistical law of on-offintermittency just after its onset in connection with the self-similarity dynamics which holds in a time region shorter than the correlation time. It is found that the coarse-grained variable averaged over the time region less than the correlation time takes a certain similarity form of probability density near the onset of intermittency. It is shown that the present statistics holds for several different systems, which suggests the existence of a new universality associated with on-offintermittency.

Extraction and Purification of Total Flavonoids from Peanut Hulls

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Based on single-factor test and orthogonal test,microwave-assisted extraction conditions of total flavonoid from peanut hulls were optimized.The results showed that the optimal extraction conditions are as follows:taking 50% alcohol as extraction solvent,microwave power 700 W,radiation time 4 min and material to extraction solvent ratio 1:30(g/ml).Under the above conditions,the yield and spike recovery of total flavonoid are 0.48 mg/g and 93.3%,respectively.Compared to ethanol reflux extraction,microwave-assisted extraction not only can reduce the extraction time from 4 h to 4 min but improve the yield by 2.4 times.Furthermore,the purification of total flavonoids from peanut hulls by macroporous adsorption resin was also investigated in the present study.Using the luteolin content as the index,the capabilities of static adsorption and desorption were examined.The results showed that the D101 resin is the best among chosen 7 resins for the purification,and both of contents of total flavonoid and luteolin are promoted by 4 to 5 times after purification.
Critical Velocity and Arrest of a Superfluid in a Point-Like Disordered Potential

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Superfluid flow past a potential barrier is a well studied problem in ultracold Bose gases, however, fewer studies have considered the case of flow through a disordered potential. Here we consider the case of a superfluid flowing through a channel containing multiple point-like barriers, randomly placed to form a disordered potential. We begin by identifying the relationship between the relative position of two point-like barriers and the critical velocity of such an arrangement. We then show that there is a mapping between the critical velocity of a system with two obstacles, and a system with a large number of obstacles. By establishing an initial superflow through a point-like disordered potential, moving faster than the critical velocity, we study how the superflow is arrested through the nucleation of vortices and the breakdown of superfluidity, a problem with interesting connections to quantum turbulence and coarsening. We calculate the vortex decay rate as the width of the barriers is increased, and show that vortex pinning becomes a more important effect for these larger barriers.
Aerosol Retrieval Using Remote Sensing Data over Jing-Jin-Ji Area with SARA Algorithm

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper analyzed the characteristic of aerosol during two air pollution events based on satellite and surface observations in autumn and winter in 2013. The SARA algorithm inversed AOD and Angstrom exponent with resolution of 500 meters, and validated it with AERONET data, The 500 m AOD showed a high consistency with ground-based AOD measurements, with correlation coefficient was 0.937 and 0.866, root mean square error (RMSE) was 0.115 and 0.262 in Beijing_RADI and XiangHe site, respectively. Integrated with Angstrom exponent and HYSPLIT model, the characteristic and source of aerosol had been analyzed effectively than only with AOD. The results proved that SARA AOD have high capability in representing air quality, which would have more effective application in future.

Implications of Utility and Deontology for the Clinical Nurse Specialist

Field: Nursing (Health Sciences)

Faced with prospective payment plans and personnel shortages nurses in advanced clinical practice are under pressure to find practical solutions. These solutions may reflect the institutional philosophy of utility rather than the traditional nursing ethic of deontology, illustrating the need to examine the differences between utilitarian and deontological principles as they affect nursing practice. This paper discusses deontology and utility as they apply to nursing practice, considers how these different philosophical positions may affect advanced practitioners, and describes the current status of ethics in nursing.
MTHFR Polymorphism and Folic Acid Supplementation Influence Serum Homocysteine Levels in Psoriatic Patients Treated with Methotrexate

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Hyperhomocysteinemia has been reported in psoriasis. We investigated the effect of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), polymorphism and folic acid supplementation on serum homocysteine levels in psoriasis. Methods: Serum homocysteine levels were detected at baseline and at week 12 in 201 patients who were genotyped with MTHFR rs1801133 without and 93 psoriatic patients with folate supplement. Results: TT genotype carriers of MTHFR rs1801133 had significantly higher serum homocysteine levels at baseline and at week 12, a better PASI 75 response rate at week 8, and a higher PASI 90 response rate at week 12 than the CT and CC genotype carriers. Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that serum homocysteine concentration at baseline was significantly associated with sex, weight, PASI score at baseline, and the rs1801133 genotype. The significant upregulation of serum homocysteine levels after treatment with methotrexate (MTX) was only observed in male CT and CC genotype carriers and female CC genotype carriers. In contrast, folic acid supplementation significantly decreased serum homocysteine levels after MTX treatment but only in male psoriatic patients. Conclusions: The effect of MTX on serum homocysteine levels was associated with the polymorphism of MTHFR rs1801133 and sex. Folic acid supplementation only decreased serum homocysteine levels in male psoriatic patients.
Convergence of the Continuous Fluid−Solid Phase Equilibrium Problem Using Quadrature Compositional Characterizations

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The solid−fluid phase equilibrium problem is solved for an n-paraffinic C7+ model fluid whose pseudocomponent compositional characterization is determined by finite Laguerre−Gauss quadrature, under the assumption that the initial solid phase formed is a "pure" pseudocomponent. Of interest is how rapidly the crystal point temperature result converges with an increase in the level of quadrature. It is concluded that the highly nonlinear nature of the fluid phase's Gibbs energy of mixing presents a serious challenge to obtaining a satisfactory asymptotic result. Furthermore, it is suggested that the convergence of fluid-phase equilibrium results with increasing quadrature level may likewise be affected, though probably to a lesser extent.
Dinamik mekanik stimulasyon altındaki in vitro modelde farklı biyoaktif ajanların osteoartrit tedavisinde etkinliklerinin değerlendirilmesi.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease characterized by the progressive degradation of articular cartilage. Current strategies for the disease are mainly towards relieving symptoms. This study was aimed to investigate the therapeutic potentials of Bone Morphogenetic Protein-9 (BMP-9), Raloxifene (Ral) and Pluronic F-68 (PLF-68) with a three-dimensional in vitro OA model. Articular chondrocytes isolated from rats were cultured in growth media and embedded in agarose to obtain agarose-chondrocyte discs. Dynamic hydrostatic mechanical stress was applied to discs. The discs were incubated with Aza-C for 48 hours for OA development. After its removal, chondrocytes were treated with different doses of BMP-9, Ral and PLF-68 for 10 days. The efficacies of treatments were evaluated by measuring cell number, glycosaminoglycan and collagen amount, and mechanical properties of the v discs. Measurements of these properties were performed with MTT, quantitative colorimetric assays, histochemical staining and mechanical tests, respectively. According to comparative results with healthy groups and controls (osteoarthritic chondrocytes without any treatment), it was found that BMP-9 had negative effect on osteoarthritic chondrocytes. On the other hand, Ral showed positive results related with matrix synthesis and mechanical properties especially at 5 μM dose suggesting that it holds promise for the treatment of OA. The therapeutic effect of Ral on OA was documented for the first time in literature. The potential of PLF-68 for treatment of OA was also supported by this study considering its positive effects on cell number, collagen synthesis and mechanical properties. Yet, further investigations are also suggested for conclusive results on this agent.

Practical Partnership in the Nepali TVET System: Some Innovative Initiations

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) systems all over the world have realized that there should be joint efforts between government and business and industry to provide and finance training programme. The key then is finding an appropriate and practical balance between government, private and non-government provision for training people in the field of skills development. Working together with the employers and training institutes is the major rising concern in many developing countries like Nepal. Engaging the employers and training providers in (TVET) provision is essential and, like many other South Asian countries, Nepal’s TVET policy 2012 emphasizes the private sector’s role and partnership in skills development. In practice however, joint efforts in the Nepali TVET system have been weak and not extended much beyond the private sector. Thus, adequate partnership among public TEVT training institutions and business/industries should be developed for economic development of the country.
Erosive wear analysis of propeller blade coated with tungsten carbide cobalt by high-velocity oxy-fuel spray method

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In the present study, the erosive wear of boat propeller blades with tungsten carbide cobalt (WC-Co) coatings by high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) under different erosive wear conditions were investigated and compared with the wear of uncoated one. The (WC-Co) coating was deposited on Al7034 T6 composite reinforced with (Al2O3) and (SiC) particle in different weight percentages. Micro hardness test was employed to determine the hardness of the composite substrate. Eroded surface of the substrate was examined through scanning electron microscope (SEM). Finite element modelling was used to analyse the fracture surface of the propeller blade. Impact analysis was used to determine the stresses induced and deformation evolution under various impact condition. It is shown that crack was initiated from the surface of the blade and finally damages the blade at velocity 500 m/s under cyclic loading. This damage causes the improper functioning of the propeller blade and induced aerodynamic forces to increase the vibrational amplitude of the rotor blade. Results show that (WC-Co) coated propeller blade predominant over the life of the uncoated blade.
The Super Global University Funding Project : case study at an elite Japanese university

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Using a critical realist approach to case study research, the thesis explores how education reform policy is translated into practice. The thesis looks at a single institution to investigate the complex structures at work in the translation of policy in situ. Specifically it analyses the translation of policy funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT) under the Super Global University Project (SGUP) at an elite Japanese university, the University of Tsukuba, a national university located one hour east of Tokyo. \nThe case study is an exemplifying case with elements of being a revelatory case for internationalisation-focused education reform policy in Japan. The methodology employs mixed methods for an educational-management, critical realist-type case study. The research brings to light previously obscure theoretical relationships from the vantage point of an embedded researcher engaged on-site with reform target implementation and translation all throughout the initial adoption phase of the Super Global project. \nThe thesis focuses on policy translation in a specific university setting; however, this process does not happen in isolation. It is important to place the university in Japan in a global context of relations to networks for university reform, the labour market and the youth-to-work transition. \nOne core theory to emerge is that on the macro level of policy there is a globalising process to university reform; relatedly, on the micro level of the department, organisational management is the essential operative variable at the intersection of university reform, the changing needs of the labour market, and increased risk in the youth-to-work transition. Elias’ figurational sociology is applied as an heuristic to extend this theory. \nIn combination, the theories to emerge from the case study serve to inform the judgements and decisions of practitioners or policy-makers in this area and have implications on the levels of policy, institution, department, and student.
