"Bad Feminist," Great Rhetorician
Venue: Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society

women must deal with today. The book is peppered with the vocabulary of a generation many of whom don't know who Shirley Chisolm or Gloria Steinem are words like "crappy," "asshole," "drama," and "divas" yet Gay's message remains quietly humane, gently humorous. It is an instruction manual for the postfeminist, post Ms. Magazine, post peace and love crowd. Bad Feminist is Miss Manners for messed up millennials.
Exchange rate, political environment and FDI decision

We examine the role of exchange rate (ER) and political environment (PE) alterations in determining Japanese Multinational Companies' (MNCs) investment decisions. First, we present a model where MNCs make an investment decision under uncertainty. Second, we employ a panel data analysis of 56 developed and developing countries for the period of 1995 2012 (country and industry level) The main findings show that MNCs are less likely to tolerate exchange rate risk and political risk in developing countries. However, they may tolerate these risks in developed countries if the level of initial stability is far enough than their essential need. Results of the cross effect analysis imply a complementarity of these risks. The impact of ER expectation remained ambiguous. Various interpretations and mechanisms are discussed.
A meta analytic review of health information credibility
Venue: Health information management journal of the Health Information Management Association of Australia

Despite the large corpus of literature on the credibility of health information, results of studies that examined the effect sizes for relationships between credibility and expertise/trustworthiness are inconsistent and have drawn attention to the ambiguity and uncertainty that surrounds the relationship between these constructs in the literature.  This study aimed to provide an estimate of the magnitude of the relationship between manipulated expertise and trustworthiness in predicting health information credibility and to search for potential moderators of the relationship.  Comprehensive searches of the Communication Mass Media Complete, PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Knowledge, and Medline databases were used to identify potentially eligible studies. No year range was set in this study. Application of strict inclusion and exclusion criteria identified 20 studies, which were analyzed using the R package.  Results indicated that manipulated expertise correlated with health information credibility at a higher level than did trustworthiness in the online but not offline context, and that sample characteristics (student vs. nonstudent populations; age of participants) as well as the year of publication of the study were significant moderators of the relationship.  This meta analytic review of the literature has contributed to knowledge about how health information is received and processed by those who seek it. While participants in studies included in this research perceived health information to be more credible when provided by an expert rather than a layperson, their perceptions were moderated by demographic characteristics. This highlights the importance of moderator analyses and provides guidance for future research and practice in health information management.
Pharmacy workers' knowledge and provision of medication for termination of pregnancy in Kenya
Venue: Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care

To assess pharmacy workers' knowledge and provision of abortion information and methods in Kenya.  In 2013 we interviewed 235 pharmacy workers in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu about the medical abortion services they provide. We also used mystery clients, who made 401 visits to pharmacies to collect first hand information on abortion practices.  The majority (87.5% of pharmacy workers had heard of misoprostol but only 39.2% had heard of mifepristone. We found that pharmacy workers had limited knowledge of correct medical abortion regimens, side effects and complications and the legal status of abortion drugs. 49.8% of pharmacy workers reported providing abortion information to clients and 4.3% reported providing abortion methods. 75.2% of pharmacies referred mystery clients to another provider, though 64.2% of pharmacies advised mystery clients to continue with their pregnancy. Pharmacy workers reported that they were experiencing demand for abortion services from clients.  Pharmacy workers are important providers of information and referrals for women seeking abortion, however their medical abortion knowledge is limited. Training pharmacy workers on medical abortion may improve the quality of information provided and access to safe abortion.
Organizing for Marketing Excellence

Marketing organization is the interface of the firm with its markets and where the work of marketing gets done. This review of the past 25 years of scholarship on marketing organization examines the individual and integrative roles of four elements of marketing organization capabilities, configuration (including structure, metrics, and incentives) culture, and the human capital of marketing leadership and talent. The authors indicate that these four elements are mobilized through seven marketing activities (7As) that occur during the marketing strategy process. These activities enable the firm to anticipate market changes, adapt the strategy to stay ahead of competition, align the organization to the strategy and market, activate effective implementation, ensure accountability for results, attract resources, and manage marketing assets. How well the firm manages these seven activities throughout the marketing strategy process determines the performance payoffs from marketing organization. Future research priorities outlined for the elements of marketing organization, their integration, and their impact on the 7As offer directions for the study of organizing for marketing excellence.
Music as a Tourist Product The Management and Marketing Model

Selective forms of tourism are gaining importance in the tourist market. Cultural tourism, as a selective form of tourism par excellence, records a significant growth. Today it appears on the tourist market either as a stand alone tourist product or as a integrated product of a tourist destination. During its development, cultural tourism has gained its numerous sub forms, among which music cultural tourism stands out. Music cultural tourism is a specific form of selective tourism, primarily because of its universal, evergreen character and 'language' of music; it takes on an additional meaning through a socio cultural aspect while observing music through its wide range, from traditional music, as a 'democratic' form of popular expression to the most sophisticated forms of classical music. The authors explain the occurrence and characteristics of these new forms of selective tourism music tourism and describe the control model of this system. The basic assumptions on which the model is based are as follows: a fully built management system of music tourism based on a partnership network of the tourist destination's stakeholders, systematic planning and effective promotion of the music cultural tourist product and, last but not least: raising awareness on the existence of and the need for further promotion of culture and cultural values, specifically music as a form of intangible cultural heritage through this form of tourism. During the construction and implementation of this model in a tourist destination, it is necessary to include all managerial functions: planning, organizing, leading and controlling (monitoring) for the system to function effectively. The same model is a subsystem for managing cultural tourism as a whole, which is also an integral subsystem for tourist destination management as a system that has the task to create and manage an integrated tourist product of a destination. The model is based on the primary research and practical experience of the author.
Homogeneous Biosensing Based on Magnetic Particle Labels
Venue: Sensors

The growing availability of biomarker panels for molecular diagnostics is leading to an increasing need for fast and sensitive biosensing technologies that are applicable to point of care testing. In that regard, homogeneous measurement principles are especially relevant as they usually do not require extensive sample preparation procedures, thus reducing the total analysis time and maximizing ease of use. In this review, we focus on homogeneous biosensors for the in vitro detection of biomarkers. Within this broad range of biosensors, we concentrate on methods that apply magnetic particle labels. The advantage of such methods lies in the added possibility to manipulate the particle labels by applied magnetic fields, which can be exploited, for example, to decrease incubation times or to enhance the signal to noise ratio of the measurement signal by applying frequency selective detection. In our review, we discriminate the corresponding methods based on the nature of the acquired measurement signal, which can either be based on magnetic or optical detection. The underlying measurement principles of the different techniques are discussed, and biosensing examples for all techniques are reported, thereby demonstrating the broad applicability of homogeneous in vitro biosensing based on magnetic particle label actuation.
Data mining for building knowledge bases: techniques, architectures and applications
Venue: The Knowledge Engineering Review

Data mining techniques for extracting knowledge from text have been applied extensively to applications including question answering, document summarisation, event extraction and trend monitoring. However, current methods have mainly been tested on small scale customised data sets for specific purposes. The availability of large volumes of data and high velocity data streams (such as social media feeds) motivates the need to automatically extract knowledge from such data sources and to generalise existing approaches to more practical applications. Recently, several architectures have been proposed for what we call knowledge mining: integrating data mining for knowledge extraction from unstructured text (possibly making use of a knowledge base) and at the same time, consistently incorporating this new information into the knowledge base. After describing a number of existing knowledge mining systems, we review the state of the art literature on both current text mining methods (emphasising stream mining) and techniques for the construction and maintenance of knowledge bases. In particular, we focus on mining entities and relations from unstructured text data sources, entity disambiguation, entity linking and question answering. We conclude by highlighting general trends in knowledge mining research and identifying problems that require further research to enable more extensive use of knowledge bases.
Understanding the carbenoid type reactivity of nitrile ylides in [3+2] cycloaddition reactions towards electron deficient ethylenes: a molecular electron density theory study
Venue: Theoretical Chemistry Accounts

The [3+2] Cycloaddition (32CA) reaction of nitrile ylide (NY) 10 with electron deficient ethylene 11 has been studied within the molecular electron density theory through DFT calculations at the MPWB1K/6 31G(d) computational level. A structural analysis of NY 10 indicates that this three atom component has a carbenoid structure, allowing its participation in carbenoid type (cb type) 32CA reactions. This 32CA reaction takes place through a one step mechanism with very low activation energy, 2.3 kcal mol 1. In gas phase, this 32CA reaction is not stereoselective and has low regioselectivity. Inclusion of solvent effects does not modify the activation energy, but increases the meta regioselectivity in clear agreement with the experimental outcomes. Electron localisation function topological analysis for the formation of the two C C single bonds along the four competitive channels associated with this 32CA reaction makes it possible to characterise two dissimilar mechanisms. Along the more favourable meta regioisomeric channels, the 32CA reaction takes place through a two stage one step mechanism, while along the ortho regioisomeric channels it takes place via a synchronous C C bond formation process.
A comprehensive model for optical and thermal characterization of a linear Fresnel solar reflector with a trapezoidal cavity receiver

In this paper, a comprehensive numerical model was developed by coupling Monte Carlo Ray Tracing (MCRT) and Finite Volume Method (FVM) for simulating the energy conversion process in the linear Fresnel reflector (LFR) with a Trapezoidal Cavity Receiver (TCR) Based on the model, firstly, the optical performance of a typical LFR was studied, followed by analyzing its heat transfer characteristics and thermal performance at various conditions. Then, the effects of key parameters were investigated. Finally, a LFR prototype was simulated to illustrate the application of the model. The results indicate that the solar fluxes on the absorber tubes exhibit non uniform characteristics which would result in the non uniform temperatures. The annual optical efficiency of 60.1% 44.7% from the equator to N50deg and the collector efficiency of 48.3% 72.0% for the superheating section at normal incidence can be achieved, respectively. Moreover, the heat transfer characteristic study reveals that the radiation loss from the tubes is the dominant mode and contributes around 81% 87% at typical conditions. Parameter studies indicate that the energy absorbed by the glass which influences the heat loss obviously should be considered in the heat loss study of TCR. And the heat loss from the tubes increases rapidly with the coating emissivity, so the coating with low emissivity should be recommended for the TCR. In addition, the application in the realistic LFR indicates that the present model is an exercisable and useful tool for the LFR.
Actinomycetes as Mitigators of Climate Change and Abiotic Stress

Agricultural productivity is affected worldwide due to anthropogenic and climate change induced abiotic stresses, posing a threat to food security. Use of microorganisms for abiotic stress management in agriculture is emerging as economically viable and environmental friendly option. Actinomycetes, the Gram positive bacteria with filamentous structure that are common associates of plants (as rhizosphere inhabitants and as plant endophytes) are receiving attention for their potential application in stressed ecosystems. Many actinomycetes exhibit plant growth promoting (PGP) properties including indole acetic acid (IAA) production, phosphate solubilization, siderophore production, biocontrol of phytopathogens, and 1 aminocyclopropane 1 carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase activity. Besides, they can grow under diverse stress conditions such as moisture stress, high temperature, salinity, alkalinity, and wide pH range. Recently, many reports have documented the role of actinomycetes in alleviating salinity and drought stress in crop plants. However, there is a need to further strengthen the research to explore their potential to improve plant productivity under diverse environmental stress conditions by conducting extensive pot and field trials and to understand the underlying mechanisms.
Conditional stability versus ill posedness for operator equations with monotone operators in Hilbert space

In the literature on singular perturbation (Lavrentiev regularization) for the stable approximate solution of operator equations with monotone operators in the Hilbert space the phenomena of conditional stability and local well posedness or ill posedness are rarely investigated. Our goal is to present some studies which try to bridge this gap. So we present new results on the impact of conditional stability on error estimates and convergence rates for the Lavrentiev regularization and distinguish for linear problems well posedness and ill posedness in a specific manner motivated by a saturation result. Taking into account that the behavior of the bias (regularization error in the noise free case) is crucial, general convergence rates, including logarithmic rates, are derived for linear operator equations by means of the method of approximate source conditions. This allows us to extend well known convergence rate results for the Lavrentiev regularization that were based on general source conditions to the case of non selfadjoint linear monotone forward operators for which general source conditions fail. Examples presenting the self adjoint multiplication operator as well as the non selfadjoint fractional integral operator and Cesaro operator illustrate the theoretical results. Extensions to the nonlinear case under specific conditions on the nonlinearity structure complete the paper.
Cochrane corner: does increasing intake of dietary fibre help prevent cardiovascular disease?
Venue: Heart

Targeting modifiable cardiovascular risk factors is the key priority for public health in preventing the onset of cardiovascular disease (CVD) One area that has received a lot of attention is the intake of certain dietary components and patterns which have been linked to the development of CVD,1 and a key focus of research has been identifying dietary components and patterns which may reduce the risk of CVD. Some food manufacturers have exploited this message in their marketing strategies, for example, claiming that their products are 'heart healthy' But how much of this is based on high quality systematic reviews? Evidence for the potential benefits of various dietary components and patterns has been reviewed by the Cochrane Heart Group over recent years and the current review on dietary fibre adds to this evidence base. We have conducted a Cochrane review of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) to investigate the potential effects of increasing dietary fibre to reduce CVD events and risk factors.2 There are thought to be several potential mechanisms by which fibre can lower CVD risk, including reducing the effect of postprandial blood glucose and lipid increases,3 increasing satiety and reducing low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and total cholesterol through increased bile
Recent Advances in Nicotinic Receptor Signaling in Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
Venue: Progress in molecular biology and translational science

Alcohol is the most commonly abused legal substance and alcoholism is a serious public health problem. It is a leading cause of preventable death in the world. The cellular and molecular mechanisms of alcohol reward and addiction are still not well understood. Emerging evidence indicates that unlike other drugs of abuse, such as nicotine, cocaine, or opioids, alcohol targets numerous channel proteins, receptor molecules, and signaling pathways in the brain. Previously, research has identified brain nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) a heterogeneous family of pentameric ligand gated cation channels expressed in the mammalian brain, as critical molecular targets for alcohol abuse and dependence. Genetic variations encoding nAChR subunits have been shown to increase the vulnerability to develop alcohol dependence. Here, we review recent insights into the rewarding effects of alcohol, as they pertain to different nAChR subtypes, associated signaling molecules, and pathways that contribute to the molecular mechanisms of alcoholism and/or comorbid brain disorders. Understanding these cellular changes and molecular underpinnings may be useful for the advancement of brain nicotinic cholinergic mechanisms, and will lead to a better translational and therapeutic outcome for alcoholism and/or comorbid conditions.
Healthcare Technology Self Efficacy (HTSE) and its influence on individual attitude: An empirical study
Venue: Comput. Hum. Behav.

Previous research on technology acceptance and adoption has established perceived self efficacy as an important factor influencing user acceptance of information technologies. However, research on self efficacy perceptions and its effect on user attitude in the context of health technologies is limited. This study identifies three self efficacy factors that may be important for shaping individual attitude toward healthcare technologies. This research proposes a new context specific self efficacy factor, Healthcare Technology Self Efficacy (HTSE) and a conceptual model incorporating HTSE and two existing self efficacy factors, General Self Efficacy (GSE) and Computer Self Efficacy (CSE) The conceptual model is validated using a survey of 314 participants. We found that HTSE has a positive influence on attitude toward the use of health technologies. We also found that two existing self efficacy constructs (GSE and CSE) have positive relationships with HTSE. However these two factors did not have any significant influence on attitude toward health technology use, contrary to our expectations. Rather, HTSE mediates the relationships between GSE and attitude and the relationship between CSE and attitude in the context of health technology use behavior. The results of this study have important implications for both research and practice in the healthcare technology domain. New context specific factor 'Healthcare Technology Self Efficacy (HTSE) is proposed.Relationships between existing self efficacy factors (GSE, CSE) and HTSE were tested.GSE and CSE have positive relationships with HTSE.HTSE positively influence individuals' attitudes toward healthcare technology use.HTSE also mediates the relationships between GSE and attitudes and CSE and attitudes.
What are the influences on teacher mobile technology self efficacy within secondary school classrooms?

As digital technologies develop and change, so do the ways these tools are integrated into classrooms. In particular, as mobile digital technologies become ubiquitous there is a need to investigate how teachers engage with these tools both personally and professionally. Research has consistently shown that teachers' underlying beliefs and attitudes (particularly their self efficacy beliefs) are key elements that influence use and integration of digital technologies in the classroom. In this paper, changes to and factors influencing teachers' mobile digital technology self efficacy beliefs, and their subsequent classroom use of devices, are examined in the context of a one to one iPad mini device programme in an international school. Results indicate that all of the teacher participants reported an increase in the use of the iPad mini in the classroom, partly as a result of students' development of collective efficacy. As well as this collective efficacy, which supported the increased use of devices, other factors supported the development of teacher self efficacy. These included modelling and coaching from colleagues, but mastery (or actual experience) was the foremost contributor to the development of teachers' mobile technology self efficacy. This study revealed that allowing teachers time to experience mastery in relation to mobile technology use, and having access to expertise (both colleagues and students) were key elements in building self efficacy for teachers over time. Perceptions of device value and device affordances were also identified as factors that fostered the development of self efficacy and subsequent mobile device implementation and use.
