The new political economy of private security | This article maps out a new research agenda for interpreting the trajectory and dynamics of domestic private security provision in advanced democratic countries: the ‘new political economy of private security’. It proceeds on the basis that the key challenge in this field is to construct an agenda which takes account of how both the economic context (shifts in supply and demand) and the political context (state-centric conceptions of legitimacy) of domestic security simultaneously serve to shape the conduct of contemporary private security providers. In attempting to meet this challenge, the article not only builds upon the important theoretical research already undertaken in the form of the nodal governance and anchored pluralism models, but also sheds new light on the nature of domestic private security today. | Theoretical Criminology | [

Feasibility and relevance of urine culture during stone fragmentation in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy and retrograde intrarenal surgery: a prospective study | Abstract Purpose We evaluated if, during lithotripsy, bacteria may be detected in the irrigation fluid of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). The concordance between urine culture from stone fragmentation (SFUC), bladder (BUC), renal pelvic (RPUC) and stone (SC) was analyzed. We also assessed the correlation between variables and cultures and their association with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and of a positive SC. Methods We included 107 patients who underwent PCNL (n = 53) and RIRS (n = 54) from January 2017 to May 2018. Samples for RPUC were obtained by renal catheterization. Stone fragments and irrigation fluid sample were sent for culture. Results SFUC was positive in 17 (15.9%), BUC in 22 (20.6%), RPUC in 26 (24.3%) and SC in 30 patients (28%). The concordance between SFUC and SC was the highest among all cultures: 94.1%. SFUC and SC grew identical microorganisms in 15/17 (88.2%) patients. Out of 17 (15.9%) patients with SIRS, 8 (7.5%) had sepsis. SFUC had the highest PPV and specificity to detect positive SC and SIRS. Previous urinary tract infection, a preoperative nephrostomy, stone diameter and composition, staghorn calculi, PCNL, positive BUC, RPUC and SFUC were predictors of infected stone. Variables that indicate complex stones, complex PCNL and an infection of the upper tract were associated with SIRS. Conclusion SFUC is technically feasible, easy to retrieve and to analyze. The spectrum of SFUC potential application in clinical practice is when is not possible to perform a SC, e.g. complete dusting or during micro-PCNL. | [

Disposal of children's faeces and implications for the control of childhood diarrhoea | Unhygienic disposal of children’s faeces is one of the key factors responsible for the high incidence of childhood diarrhoea in developing countries. The aim of this project was to study household behaviours relating to the disposal of faeces of children under the age of five. The study was conducted in Ife South Local Government Area of Osun State, Nigeria, where 320 households, containing 540 mothers with children under the age of five were randomly selected. Data was collected by observation using a schedule specifically designed for the study. Our findings show that while over 80% of children under the age of seven months defecated on a napkin, the majority of older children (over seven months of age) defecated on either the floor of the household and their surroundings or outside in the household's vicinity. Mothers usually cleaned up the children's faeces which were then thrown into a pit latrine. In some cases dogs were used to clean up the faecal matter on the floor. In either case faecal residue remained on the floor. The authors recommend educational interventions to change the unhygienic practices relating to clean up and disposal of children's faeces. The interventions include encouraging children to defecate in plastic chamber pots, promoting the practice of hand washing with soap and water after cleaning up the children's faeces and the construction of affordable and ventilated latrines by members of the communities. | [

Analisis Pengangguran Usia Muda di Pulau Jawa Sebelum dan Saat Pandemi Covid-19 | The Covid-19 pandemic has harmed the employment sector. Many companies do layoffs of employees and limit the recruitment of new employees. As a result, there is an increase in unemployment, especially in the younger age group. This study aims to analyze the status of youth unemployment in Java in the period before and during the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on youth unemployment in Java. The island of Java was chosen as the research locus because it is the area most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. To achieve these objectives, we used the binary logistic regression analysis method with interaction effect. The results showed that gender, residency, education level, graduation time, marital status, work experience, and migration status affected the youth unemployment status in Java before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, the occurrence of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 affected youth unemployment in Java Island. There are different conditions of youth unemployment status in the period before and during the Covid-19 pandemic in terms of residency, education level, work experience, and migration status. | [

The Motion of a Thermally Conducting Sphere in a Rarefied Gas, I. Low Speed Case | Abstract An investigation has been made of the validity of the perfectly conducting sphere model used in the calculation of drag forces acting on spheres moving in rarefied gases. This assumption requires that the frictional heat generated by the motion of the sphere is conducted so rapidly through the material that the surface temperature is everywhere constant. In turn this affects the energy of the atoms reflected from the surface of the body and hence the drag experienced by it. Instead, there-fore, of making this a priori assumption, we allow the sphere to have an arbitrary thermal con-ductivity. We then solve the heat conduction equation in the sphere and relate it to the external gas conditions by computing the heat transfer rate caused by gas atom collisions. The theory so developed is applicable for arbitrary speed but, for simplecity in this introductory paper, we obtain some analytical results for speeds very much less than Mach one. Our conclusions indicate that the effects of finite conduction on the drag forces are generally small, even when the sphere is a thin shell with a non-conducting interior. Indeed, it is not difficult to show that in going from a perfect thermal conductor to a perfect thermal insulator the drag force only increases by about 3%; nevertheless, in some situations this may well be important and inter-mediate cases will have to include the correction term. More significantly, however, the surface temperature on the sphere is shown to depend on the conductivity to a much greater degree, with the leading face being appreciably hotter than the trailing one. The general conclusion is that for most practical problems involving small particles in the Knudsen regime, moving at appreciably sub-sonic speeds, the assumption of the perfect thermal conductor is a good one. | [

Coupling Two-Stage Stochastic Robust Programming with Improved Export Coefficient for Water Allocation among Industrial Sectors | Water scarcity and water pollution are essential factors limiting coordinated regional development, especially in water-deprived regions. Industrial restructuring is an effective water management solution to alleviate water scarcity and mitigate water pollution. However, due to widely existing inexact parameter information in the water resource management system, it is challenging to allocate water resources among industrial sectors. To address these problems, an export coefficient coupled with a two-stage stochastic robust programming method (EC-TSRP) was developed through integrating an export coefficient model (ECM), two-stage stochastic programming (TSP) and robust optimization. The proposed EC-TSRP model could effectively deal with the multiple uncertainties expressed as stochastic and the intervals with fluctuation ranges, and enhance the robustness of optimal plans for supporting water resource allocation among industrial sectors under complex uncertainties. It was then applied to Bayan Nur City, in arid north-west China. The optimization alternatives indicate that wheat, sheep and services would be the most sensitive sectors among all industrial sectors, when non-point source (NPS) pollution exports are restricted. In addition, comparing the EC-TSRP results with the deterministic model, the reliability of the system could be improved significantly, while the value of the objective function would be decreased slightly. The simulation results were also compared with the historical data from 2012 to 2016. Although the total revenue of Bayan Nur City would decrease by 1.52%, the pollutant loads of total nitrogen, total phosphorus and chemical oxygen demand (TN, TP and COD) would decrease by 14.5%, 7.75% and 2.07%, respectively, and total water allocation also would decrease from 4.6 billion m3 to 4.23 billion m3. | [

MARXIST THEORIES OF ALIENATION AND REIFICATION: THE RESPONSE TO CAPITALISM, STATE SOCIALISM AND THE ADVENT OF POSTMODERNITY | Marx's formulation of the alienation problematic is grounded in a strategic set of underlying assumptions concerning the human condition. On the one hand, people are seen as the creators of their material and mental world through their labour activity. They are endowed with natural human qualities, creative powers and historically existing potentialities that are essential to human growth. People are, in essence, free, creative, productive beings of praxis in conscious control of their activities and the world they have created. But the material and mental products of human labour (e.g. commodities, ideas, social institutions) assume an autonomous life of their own. They come to rule over people as dehumanizing objects and powers, as alien and hostile forces operating independently above and against the common will of their own creators. People no longer experience themselves as active human agents in conscious control of their life circumstances. Their own productive activities, human creations, social relationships and nature at large remain alien and beyond their grasp. The realization of natural human capacities and potentialities for a genuinely human life in an alienating world of domination and oppression is consequently thwarted, repressed or denied. Alienation is construed as a universal social phenomenon that pervades all spheres of human life in the existing world. | International Journal of Sociology and Social Policy | [

Ethnoprimatology: Critical interdisciplinarity and multispecies approaches in anthropology | The emerging practice of ethnoprimatology creates an important venue for diverse epistemologies in anthropology and primatology to interact in an intellectually robust and engaged manner. At the same time that multispecies ethnographies are becoming more common in social anthropology, a subset of primatologists are immersing themselves in approaches that merge ethnographic engagement with primate studies. In these endeavors the distinction between “human worlds” and “nature” is discarded and multispecies entanglements become central aspects of anthropogenic ecologies. By drawing from ecological, biological, ethnographic and historical approaches, ethnoprimatology creates a more robust and accurate methodology for anthropologists and primatologists interested in understanding complex systems of human–alloprimate interface in the Anthropocene. In this essay, we outline what ethnoprimatology is, how it plays out in real-world contexts, and why it is a potentially powerful tool to move past historical rifts in anthropological practice and integrate perspectives in a successful and engaged manner. Finally, we address the practical and ethical considerations of human–alloprimate engagements in both conservation and scientific contexts. | [

Statistical Inference for Data Adaptive Target Parameters | Abstract Consider one observes n i.i.d. copies of a random variable with a probability distribution that is known to be an element of a particular statistical model. In order to define our statistical target we partition the sample in V equal size sub-samples, and use this partitioning to define V splits in an estimation sample (one of the V subsamples) and corresponding complementary parameter-generating sample. For each of the V parameter-generating samples, we apply an algorithm that maps the sample to a statistical target parameter. We define our sample-split data adaptive statistical target parameter as the average of these V-sample specific target parameters. We present an estimator (and corresponding central limit theorem) of this type of data adaptive target parameter. This general methodology for generating data adaptive target parameters is demonstrated with a number of practical examples that highlight new opportunities for statistical learning from data. This new framework provides a rigorous statistical methodology for both exploratory and confirmatory analysis within the same data. Given that more research is becoming “data-driven”, the theory developed within this paper provides a new impetus for a greater involvement of statistical inference into problems that are being increasingly addressed by clever, yet ad hoc pattern finding methods. To suggest such potential, and to verify the predictions of the theory, extensive simulation studies, along with a data analysis based on adaptively determined intervention rules are shown and give insight into how to structure such an approach. The results show that the data adaptive target parameter approach provides a general framework and resulting methodology for data-driven science. | [

Decreased Virulence of a Pneumolysin-Deficient Strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae in Murine Meningitis | ABSTRACT Pneumolysin, neuraminidases A and B, and hyaluronidase are virulence factors of Streptococcus pneumoniae that appear to be involved in the pathogenesis of meningitis. In a murine model of meningitis after intracerebral infection using mutants of S. pneumoniae D39, only mice infected with a pneumolysin-deficient strain were healthier at 32 and 36 h, had lower bacterial titers in blood at 36 h, and survived longer than the D39 parent strain. Cerebellar and spleen bacterial titers, meningeal inflammation, and neuronal damage scores remained uninfluenced by the lack of any of the virulence factors. | [

Relative Benefits of Population-Level Interventions Targeting Restraint-Use in Child Car Passengers | OBJECTIVES: Because public health resources for injury prevention are limited, methods for comparing competing strategies are needed. We aimed to estimate potential injury reductions for 4 population-level interventions that target restraint practices for child car passengers aged 0 to 12 years. METHODS: Population-attributable risk fraction (PARF) is a population-level estimate of excess risk from exposure to a risk factor. PARFs were calculated for each intervention scenario by using published age-specific mortality/injury relative-risk estimates; restraint practices among injured child car passengers from police-collected data; and observational data for correctness of restraint use in New South Wales, Australia. PARF reductions were estimated for population uptakes of 25%, 50%, and 75%. RESULTS: Assuming a 50% population uptake, (1) promoting age-appropriate restraint use could prevent additional fatalities (5.1%, infants; 3.4%, 1- to 6-year-olds) and nonfatal injuries (3.2%, infants; 16.2%, 1- to 6-year-olds) compared with promoting any restraint use; (2) further encouraging correct age-appropriate restraint use could also prevent additional fatalities (9.1%, infants; 14.3%, 1- to 6-year-olds) and nonfatal injuries (9.2%, infants; 10.7%, 1- to 6-year-olds); and (3) for children aged 7 to 12 years, promoting correct use of restraints could prevent an additional 3.4% fatalities and 3.1% nonfatal injuries compared with promoting any restraint use. CONCLUSIONS: Interventions that target child passenger-restraint practices offer population-level benefits in terms of reduction in fatalities and injuries. These tangible benefits call for action internationally, not only to promote restraint use but correct age-appropriate restraint use for child car passengers. | Pediatrics | [

Postcontraction Errors in Isometric Force Control | Subjects learned to produce brief isometric force pulses that were 10% of their maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) force. Subjects became proficient at performing sets of 10 pulses within boundaries of 8–12% MVC, with visual feedback and without (kinesthetic sense). In both the control (Con, n = 10) and experimental (Exp, n = 20) groups, subjects performed two sets of 10 kinesthetically guided pulses. Subjects then either performed a 10-s MVC (Exp) or remained at rest (Con) between sets. Following the MVC, Exp subjects had force errors of +30%, whereas performance was maintained in Con. There was evidence for both muscular and neural contributions to these errors. Postactivation potentiation resulted in a 40% gain in muscle contractility (p = .003), and there was a 26% increase in the neural stimulation of muscle (p = .014). Multiple regression indicated that the change in neural input had a stronger relationship with force errors than the increased contractility. | [

Municipal Solid Waste Disposal Operational Performance in Wa Municipality, Ghana | Background. The generation and management of solid waste pose potential adverse impacts on human health and the environment. Objective. The present study examines the operational performance of municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal in the Wa Municipality, Ghana. Methods. The study applied both qualitative and quantitative research methods and modelled the Wa Municipality's MSW disposal system using the municipal solid waste decision support tool (MSW DST). Acid gases (sulphur oxides and nitrogen oxides) and total particulate matter that have a direct impact on human health were set as the objective functions for modelling five MSW disposal scenarios. The modelled scenarios were: 1) landfill disposal only; 2) composting and landfill disposal; 3) composting, incineration, refuse derived fuels (RDF) and landfill disposal; 4) separation, composting, incineration, RDF and landfill disposal; and 5) separation, transfer, material recovery, composting, incineration, RDF and landfill disposal. The pollutants chosen as indicators for substance flow analysis included lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, copper, chromium, and zinc. Results. Scenarios 4 and 5 produced the least engineering cost of 1 150 000 US $/year for the entire MSW disposal system, whereas scenario 2 produced the highest cost of 1 340 000 US $/year. Scenario 5 produced the least average health impacts of −5.812E-04 lbs/year, while scenario 2 generated the highest engineering cost and produced the highest average health impact of 9.358E-05 lbs/year. Scenarios 5 and 4, which included waste-to-energy conversion in the systems, produced the lowest average health impacts (−5.812E-04 lbs/year and −5.611E-04 lbs/year, respectively). Conclusions. The adoption of an integrated solid waste management concept, including waste-to-energy technologies, will not only help to lessen MSW disposal hazards, but also to produce alternative sources of energy for Ghana and other developing countries.

The Social Context of Dunn | The impact of Dunn's article was enhanced by the prevailing sentiment of the 1960s in favor of the environmental position and the press for civil rights. The adoption of resource specialist services in place of special day classes that was noted in the 1970s had profound curricular implications, which are examined. The dramatic changes in the number of EMR students and the behavioral characteristics of those currently identified render many of Dunn's assertions invalid for the current situation. The current role of advocacy in policy formulation is discussed as an unfortunate legacy of Dunn's influential paper. | [

Self-transformation and Spiritual Exemplars | This paper focuses on the process of self-transformation through which a person comes to embody the ideal of her religion’s vision of the divine, as far as that ideal is expressible in a human life. The paper is concerned with the self as the subject of religious commitments, traits, religious aspirations and religiously inspired ideals. The self-transformative journey that people are invited to undertake poses a number of philosophical and practical difficulties; the paper explores some of these difficulties, concentrating on those that arise in connection with the notion of potential future selves. This paper suggests that imaginative reflection upon exemplary individuals provides one way through these difficulties, for these individuals can show us what it looks like when someone achieves, or draws close to, the ideal. | [

Postcoital vaginal rupture after hysterectomy presenting as generalised peritonitis | Postcoital vaginal rupture is a rare but well documented complication of hysterectomy. Evisceration of the small intestine, vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain are common presenting features. We report the unusual case of vaginal rupture presenting with generalised peritonitis without vaginal evisceration. | The Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England | [

Current Landscape of Therapeutic Resistance in Lung Cancer and Promising Strategies to Overcome Resistance | Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide with a 5-year survival rate of less than 18%. Current treatment modalities include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Despite advances in therapeutic options, resistance to therapy remains a major obstacle to the effectiveness of long-term treatment, eventually leading to therapeutic insensitivity, poor progression-free survival, and disease relapse. Resistance mechanisms stem from genetic mutations and/or epigenetic changes, unregulated drug efflux, tumor hypoxia, alterations in the tumor microenvironment, and several other cellular and molecular alterations. A better understanding of these mechanisms is crucial for targeting factors involved in therapeutic resistance, establishing novel antitumor targets, and developing therapeutic strategies to resensitize cancer cells towards treatment. In this review, we summarize diverse mechanisms driving resistance to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, and promising strategies to help overcome this therapeutic resistance. | [
