Full textAbstract:
Backdoor listing refers to a transaction in which an acquiring company purchases a listed company and changes its main business. This paper provides a comparative analysis of the three operation modes for backdoor listing in China: reverse acquisition, agreement acquisition, and three-party cooperative acquisition. It discusses the advantages, disadvantages, transaction structure and compliance with the backdoor listing criteria defined by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC). The acquirer should consider the risks and benefits of each mode based on relevant legal provisions and regulations. Regulatory authorities, on the other hand, should use these provisions and regulations as screening tools to identify transactions that may pose serious risks to the capital market.

Full textAbstract:
Messages emphasizing scientific agreement are increasingly used to communicate politically polarizing issues. Proponents argue that these messages neutralize the effect of people’s political worldviews due to the neutral scientific character of the message. Yet this argument has not undergone extensive testing. Addressing this, we measured participants’ thoughts on scientists featured in messages emphasizing scientific agreement on politically dissonant issues. Our results show that readers often produce less favorable thoughts and moral judgments when scientists agree on a politically dissonant issue. As a result, messages emphasizing scientific agreement on politicized issues might not always neutralize the effect of people’s political worldviews.

Adlung, Rudolf, and Hamid Mamdouh. "How to Design Trade Agreements in Services: Top Down or Bottom-Up?" Journal of World Trade 48, Issue 2 (2014): 191–218. http://dx.doi.org/10.54648/trad2014008.
Full textAbstract:
This article deals with claims, recently raised in various circles, that structural faults in the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) have prevented WTO Members from advancing services liberalization under the Agreement. The GATS is generally associated in this context with a bottom-up (positive-list) scheduling approach where the sectors on which trade commitments are undertaken are selected individually. This is claimed to be less efficient, in terms of liberalization effects, than alternative approaches under which everything is considered to be fully committed unless specifically excluded (top-down or negative listing). However, a closer look at services negotiations conducted in various settings, including the Doha Round process, WTO accession cases and different types of Regional Trade Agreements (RTA), suggests that such structural issues have limited, if any, impact on the results achieved. What ultimately matters are not negotiating or scheduling techniques, but the political impetus that the governments concerned are ready to generate.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn this paper I try to establish bidirectional links between the grammar and the processing (especially production) of agreement in order to provide the broad strokes of a psychologically viable theory of agreement. I start by arguing that full encapsulation and full interactivity in agreement operations are not realistic options. The question therefore becomes how much of each should be posited on principled grounds. It is further argued that in language production agreement ‘leaks’, in the sense that conceptual structure is ready to interfere in the establishment of agreement ties, and that that interference is neatly modulated by morphological strength, in the sense that morphology acts a barrier to it. I suggest a series of components that a theory of agreement must contain if it is to be psyscholinguistically realistic. Among these: a. constant conceptual pressure (leaking) and varying degrees of morphologisation both inter- and intra-linguistically (blocking); b. constructional ‘listing’, which adds to the division of labour between direct semantic influence and encapsulated feature transmission; c. ‘Avalanching’ (a chain reaction of chunking), which results in near encapsulation in practice in the minds of speakers of languages with a rich morphology; d. a process of ‘Match and Check’, which ensures automatic, non-strategic computations of massive feature redundancy (Match) without the need for accompanying access to conceptual structure (Check).

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Back in the 1970s, Kazuko Inoue observed that some active sentences in Japanese allow a prepositional subject. Along with impersonal sentences pointed out by S.-Y. Kuroda, such examples suggest that the nominative subject is not an obligatory element in Japanese sentences. While this observation supports the hypothesis that important characteristics of the Japanese language follow from its lack of (forced-)agreement, Japanese potential sentences require the nominative ga on at least one argument. The present article argues that the nominative case particle ga is semantically vacuous even where a ga-marked phrase is indispensable or the ga-marked phrase is construed as exhaustively listing. Stative predicates require a ga-marked phrase because they can ascribe a property to an argument only by function application. The exhaustive listing reading arises by conversational implicature when the presence of a ga-marked phrase signals that a topic phrase is being avoided. The discussion leads to a semantic account of subject honorification whereby the honorification only concerns the semantic content of the predicate, and does not involve agreement with the subject. It is also shown that sentences with a prepositional subject allow zibun only as a long-distance anaphor, which indicates that they do lack a subject with the nominative Case.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: To compare the agreement for the criteria on the explant and the results of liver transplantation (LT) before and after adoption of the AFP (α-fetoprotein) model. Methods: 523 patients consecutively listed in five French centers were reviewed to compare results of the Milan criteria period (MilanCP, n = 199) (before 2013) and the AFP score period (AFPscP, n = 324) (after 2013). (NCT03156582). Results: During AFPscP, there was a significantly longer waiting time on the list (12.3 vs. 7.7 months, p < 0.001) and higher rate of bridging therapies (84 vs. 75%, p = 0.012) compared to the MilanCP. Dropout rate was slightly higher in the AFPscP (31 vs. 24%, p = 0.073). No difference was found in the histological AFP score between groups (p = 0.838) with a global agreement in 88% of patients. Post-LT recurrence was 9.2% in MilanCP vs. 13.2% in AFPscP (p = 0.239) and predictive factors were AFP > 2 on the last imaging, downstaging policy and salvage transplantation. Post-LT survival was similar (83 vs. 87% after 2 years, p = 0.100), but after propensity score analysis, the post-listing overall survival (OS) was worse in the AFPscP (HR 1.45, p = 0.045). Conclusions: Agreement for the AFP model on explant analysis (≤2) did not significantly change. AFP score > 2 was the major prognostic factor for recurrence. Graft allocation policy has a major impact on prognosis, with a post-listing OS significantly decreased, probably due to the increase in waiting time, increase in bridging therapies, downstaging policy and salvage transplantation.

Full textAbstract:
Corporate governance is the current exhortation in India as well as the world over. As an offshoot of economic liberalization, global investment in the form of foreign direct investment and foreign institutional investment
 have gained momentum leading to vast economic growth in India. On the other hand, major corporate scams that have occurred worldwide in recent times, have revealed that the need for strict supervision and scrutiny over
 corporate management and governance is a sin quo non for the protection of stakeholders and the growth of the nation which has to compete with the multinational companies in the global arena. 
 
 Further, in India, most of the listed companies, and substantially all billion-dollar companies, are family-run. A particular characteristic of the Indian corporate landscape, however, is a tendency for individuals (and their families) to establish large interlocking networks of subsidiaries and sister companies that include partially owned, publicly listed companies. Such pyramidal structures can lead to severely inequitable treatment of shareholders. The extent of this control is frequently opaque to outsiders and undisclosed by insiders. A particular need for effective corporate governance in India is, therefore, to encourage the dynamism and
 growth of family. The inclusion of Clause 49 by Securities Exchange Board
 of India (SEBI) in the listing agreement between companies endeavouring to have their securities listed in stock exchanges has impacted the modality of corporate management.
 
 This research paper examines the impact of clause 49 of listing agreement of SEBI on corporate governance.

Full textAbstract:
There is general agreement among linguistic "lumpers" today that the Dene- Caucasian macrophylum ("Dene-Basque" would be more correct) consists of the following languages and language families: BASQUE; North Caucasian; Sumerian; Burushaski; Sino-Tibetan; Yeniseian; Na-Dene. Other languages have been added; following in the wake of others (e.g., Karl Bouda), the Austronesian connection of Dene-Caucasian is demonstrated by listing matchings between Austronesian and North Caucasian, Burushaski, and Sino-Tibetan respectively.

In order to facilitate the practical application of the provisions of these recommendations, the authors developed a procedure in MATLAB, full the listing of which is given in the appendix. As a result of applying the procedure, the values of the statistics of the criteria, the corresponding values of the attainable level of significance, as well as the graphs of the empirical and theoretical distribution functions that allow visually assessing the degree of discrepancy between them are displayed. For a number of theoretical distributions, it is possible to use the corresponding MATLAB builtin functions.

Full textAbstract:
While interagency collaboration among Children’s Aid Societies and violence against women (VAW) agencies have been mandated by the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Service, little is known about these local collaboration agreements. This study seeks to explore how the Ottawa CAS/VAW Collaboration Agreement mediates the work of VAW agencies to protect women and children. Using a purposive sample, a total of eight VAW informants were interviewed. Smith (1999) argued that people’s everyday experiences are organized, often unknowingly, by the actions of people located outside the local setting and that this organization is textually-mediated. This study used institutional ethnography and the listening guide approach to critically examine the collaboration process. The results explore the narratives and standpoints as they relate to the informants’ understanding of the agreement and their descriptions of doing collaboration. This study also adopts the mapping technique developed by institutional ethnographers to map social relations. The findings indicate that informants differed in their familiarity and knowledge of the contents of the collaboration agreement – only two informants indicated that they have reviewed and read the document. The findings also show that although most informants were able to describe positive experiences of collaboration, most also described negative experiences. This study concludes that the collaboration agreement has made VAW workers’ work with women more focused and specific to helping women address Children Aid Society’s concerns. The findings demonstrate that the collaboration agreement requires an update and further research is required to evaluate these collaborations and whether they improve outcomes for women and their children.

Full textAbstract:
Communication between the patient and healthcare professional is pivotal in enabling effective self-care management to occur (Street et al., 2009) which in turn leads to improved health outcomes (Kravitz et al., 1993). However, there is little published data exploring the most effective tools for evaluating whether these communication skills occur and what particular attributes enhance the process (Goodchild, Skinner & Parkin, 2005; Heisler et al., 2003; Parkin & Skinner, 2003). This study aims to identify patient-centred communication skills occurring in consultations and to explore their link with a tool-recording agreement on reported decisions made. Quantitative analysis was conducted on 86 dietetic consultations across four outpatient diabetes services. Audio recordings from 20 of these were qualitatively analysed. Greater agreement on reported decisions correlated significantly with level of empathy demonstrated (t = .283, p = .0005). In consultations featuring agreement, dietitians expressed more empathy (p = .02), used more active listening skills, asked significantly more exploratory questions on self-care practices (U = 18.5, p = .007), provided significantly more supportive/collaborative information-giving exchanges (U = 11, p = .003) and were more likely to set an agreed agenda at the start of consultations. In contrast, consultations featuring disagreement had low levels of empathy, fewer active-listening skills and exploratory questions, significantly greater numbers of persuasive information-giving exchanges (U = 17, p = .007) and more recommending exchanges. Generally, agendas were not set. In conclusion, recording patient/healthcare professional agreement on reported decisions made during a consultation is a simple tool that can indicate the presence of patient-centred communication skills. Active-listening skills allow expressions of empathy that facilitate patient involvement and interactive dialogue. The measure of agreement should be used frequently as a marker of effective dietetic consultations and to provide further data on the relationship between patient-centred communication and implementation of behaviour change for improved health outcomes.

The aim of this thesis is to describe the fundamental issues related to the future accession of the European Union to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and to provide an overall understanding of the issue. To fulfil this objective, the first part of the thesis deals with the current situation in the european human rights protection system. It introduces the protection system of the Council of Europe as well as the system of protection provided by the European Union. This part aims to describe relationships between them and also gives the overview of the development of the question of accession and of the main features defining the autonomy of the European Union law. The second part then turns the attention to the legal instruments which make it possible European Union to accede. This part provides an analysis of the Accession agreement on the accession of the European Union to the Convention for Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms which contains legal, institutional and technical solutions of the European Union's incorporation into the Convention system. This analysis serves as a basis for the next part of the thesis, which focuses on the recent Opinion of the Court of Justice of the European Union 2/13. In this opinion Court found...

Full textAbstract:
Beyond Empathy and Inclusion: The Challenge of Listening in Democratic Deliberation considers how to improve democracy under the politically divided conditions we currently face. The book argues that while democracy does not require that citizens reach an agreement, it does require that they listen to one another. The book goes on to offer a systematic theory of listening acts to explain the democratic force of listening. Modeled after speech act theory, Scudder’s listening act theory shows how we do something in listening, independent of the outcomes of listening. In listening to our fellow citizens, we recognize their moral equality of voice. Being heard by our fellow citizens is what ensures we have a say in the laws to which we are held. The book offers a realistic view of listening, one that does not assume it will always produce empathy or even understanding. Listening is not the answer to all of our problems. In fact, listening can even produce certain undemocratic effects. The book argues that despite these challenges and risks, listening is a key responsibility of democratic citizenship. It also tackles questions regarding the limits of toleration in a democratic society. Do we owe listening even to democracy’s enemies? The book shows how listening can be used defensively, to protect against threats to democracy. The democratic listening this book prescribes is admittedly hard, especially in pluralistic societies. This volume investigates how to motivate citizens to listen seriously, attentively, and humbly even to those with whom they disagree.

Full textAbstract:
Aristotle divides the soul into a rational and a non-rational part, and this division underlies his theory of the virtues. Virtues of character are virtues of the non-rational part. Mediaeval students of Aristotle express this view by saying that the passions are the subject of the virtues. Virtues of character require the agreement of the passions with the rational part of the soul. In a virtuous person, the rational part achieves ‘indirect rationality’, so that it agrees with the ‘direct rationality’ of the desires of the rational part. The capacity of the non-rational part for listening to reason in this way supports Aquinas’ argument for making the passions the ‘subject’ of some virtues of character.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter considers the challenges in explaining arbitration law. Unlike most fields of law that provide guidance on how courts decide cases, arbitration law tells judges when not to decide disputes, in deference to private decision-makers selected by the litigants. However, if one side regrets a decision to arbitrate, or the parties diverge about what the arbitration clause covers, courts may be asked to assist in implementing the arbitration agreement or resulting award. At such moments, arbitration law normally includes two limbs: first, to hold parties to their bargains to arbitrate; second, to monitor the basic integrity of the arbitral process, so the case will be heard by a fair tribunal that listens before deciding, stays within its mission, and respects the limits of relevant public policy. The chapter then discusses case studies that illustrate two issues that persistently vex courts and commentators: allocating tasks between judges and arbitrators; and determining what law applies to an arbitration clause.

Full textAbstract:
Like it or not, every business—even one conducted from the kitchen table—is global. No matter the industry, employees now routinely travel to other countries or interact with foreign customers, vendors, or fellow employees. Or they conduct business over the phone, via e-mail, or through video links. As a result, they have to understand international customs and etiquette or risk losing customers or botching business relations. And understanding business customs in other cultures isn't merely playing good defense—it often leads to new products or service enhancements that help an enterprise grow. In Passport to Success, Jeanette Martin and Lillian Chaney apply their expertise in business etiquette, training, and intercultural communications to present a practical guide to conducting business successfully around the world. Each chapter in this book presents in-depth information on the business environment and culture in the top twenty trading partners of the United States: Canada, Mexico, Japan, China, United Kingdom, Germany, South Korea, Netherlands, France, Singapore, Taiwan, Belgium, Australia, Brazil, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Malaysia, Italy, India, and Israel. Chapters contain both practical tips and illustrative examples, and the book concludes with a listing of resources (books, magazines, organizations, and Web sites) for additional information. In addition, Passport to Success contains useful overview material that will help business people plan a trip abroad or a campaign to win customers in another country. Besides trade statistics and information on global trade agreements, readers will find information on using the Internet productively to conduct or seek business, how women can succeed in countries with traditional, male-oriented business cultures, how to build cross-cultural relationships, and ways language can enhance—or obstruct—business dealings. Every businessperson is now a player in the global market for goods and services. This book provides valuable tips that will help people avoid missteps and increase their sales and personal success when dealing with counterparts in other countries.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter examines the political, technical and financial support provided by the EU to one of the institutions of the transitional justice system created as part of the Peace Agreement: the Commission for the Clarification of Truth, Coexistence and Non-recurrence. The implementation of the Agreement, and transnational justice in particular, have faced at least three challenges: (i) in carrying out its mission, while communicating progress effectively so that the public understands its importance, building hope for a peaceful future; (ii) in ensuring its methods guarantee the broadest possible access for the country’s victims to ensure the political legitimacy of its results; and (iii) in guaranteeing that there are sufficient resources for this to take place. Understanding these challenges, the EU has been a strategic partner of the institutions of the Comprehensive System, especially the Truth Commission. It has also allowed the Commission to expand its territorial presence, making it more accessible to victims and ensuring plural listening, which has formed the basis of the method for clarifying the truth and helped boost the impact of the communication processes in Colombian society.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The provisions contained in Article 16 are (like Article 15) basically self-explanatory. The corresponding provisions of the WTO Anti-dumping Agreement can be found in its Article 6.7 and Annex 1. The primary purpose of a verification visit is to verify the correctness of the reply which the party concerned has submitted in response to the Commission’s questionnaire. During this visit the company cannot, therefore, make substantial changes to its original reply, such as a completely revised transaction-by-transaction listing of its export and/or domestic sales. This was confirmed in EU—Antidumping duties on malleable cast iron tube or pipe fittings from Brazil. The Panel viewed the investigation essentially as a ‘documentary exercise’ that might be supplemented by a verification visit. Such verification visits are provided for, but not mandated by, the WTO Anti-dumping Agreement.

Full textAbstract:
During the last two decades or more, Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) report assumes growing importance in the decision-making process of the stakeholders. In India, MD&A report was made mandatory for listed companies in 2000 through the listing agreement by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). In 2015, SEBI thoroughly revised its regulation by virtue of its revised regulation, every listed company is required to publish MD&A report. Despite its immense importance to the decision maker, legal requirement in India is limited to making discussion and analysis on eight specified areas in MD&A report. The present legal framework in India suffers from a number of deficiencies involving certain qualitative issues. Such qualitative issues include detailed contents of MD&A report, its timing of publication, disclosure of potential impact of environmental risks on entity‟s performance, assessment of possible financial liabilities arising due to activities of an entity affecting environment, etc. In this backdrop, the present paper analyses some qualitative issues in the present legal framework of MD&A report and suggests some changes in it for improving the quality of MD&A report

Abstract For as far back as we can determine, the completed partiturs were the property of the songwriters. (Paid for by the producers, yes, although in some cases Chappell advanced all or some of the cost as an inducement for the publishing rights.) At some point in time, this was written into the standard minimum basic agreement of the Dramatists Guild. Correspondingly, a provision was made that allowed the producers to deduct a minimal amount from the weekly royalties as reimbursement for as much as half of the orchestration cost. (Given the size of the weekly reimbursement, the producer recovered this amount only on the most successful, long-running hits. In 1975, when orchestrations might cost between $10,000 and $15,000, the Dramatists Guild charge was $100 per week.)

Abstract Chapter 8, “What We Can’t Measure That Matters,” addresses the limitations of the measures described in this book for capturing what they are designed to measure. In an effort not to overreach and to retain high levels of inter-rater agreement and strong evidence for validity of the construct of contextual error, the coding methodology “4C” applies the term only to the most straightforward instances during clinical encounters where it applies. The benefit of the approach is that the system is highly specific in identifying contextual errors but not particularly sensitive. The concepts of engagement and boundary clarity are introduced to describe ideal clinician behaviors that result in highly contextualized care, beyond the bounds of what is currently measurable.

Full textAbstract:
A set of 79 European clinical and 13 blood test data was collected in each EC and COST country. Twenty-three other clinical data were tested on 400 cases. A network of over 128 centres throughout Europe collected 9500 cases according to the protocol. These were entered in a relational database, analysed in 2 centres and distributed to the collectors at intervals pro rata to cases supplied. The 16 diseases causing &gt;1% jaundice in Europe were defined. They were described numerically in terms of the frequencies of occurrence of their symptoms in 100-1500 cases per disease. The most useful diagnostic items were identified. Similar descriptions were made on their 38 sub-diseases. The database covers adequately at least 45 disease conditions. The agreement among 4 observers examining a case according to the protocol was measured on 111 doctors in 8 countries. It was consistently 84-89% regardless of language. Norms for the 12 common blood tests used in diagnosing jaundice were based on the results of 75,000 tests. Normal ranges were obtained on 220 controls (11 centres) and laboratory variation on 6 standard samples tested in 22 centres. A problem in standards was discovered. Audit feedback on their cases in comparison to the database as a whole was provided to the centres, listing missing data, mix of diseases, symptom frequencies and the diagnostic accuracy of the program on their cases (a pan-European audit), and summaries of their cases. The use of the protocol and of feedback to the observers improved the diagnostic quality of the data by 12%, the diagnostic accuracy of the doctors by up to 50% and the omission rate of the data three-fold. Diagnostic programs were prepared by Bayesian, pattern-recognition, likelihood ratio, neural net and knowledge-bases techniques. The crude Bayesian version based on quality cases achieved 72% accuracy. Circulated for field test it attained 50% while a trial algorithm reached 75% (106 cases reported by 12 centres to date) Neural net also outperformed Bayes. The threshold for assessment of the value added by diagnostic technology was reproducibly set by computed diagnosis. The added value of each blood test was demonstrated. The residual scope for new technologies was also established, but may be affected by refinement of computed diagnosis.

Full textAbstract:
Due to mirror neurons, a “Mediator's Embrace” resonates with all at the mediation table. Neuroscience reveals that mirror neurons are crucial in learning new skills, absorbing knowledge, and forging profound emotional bonds with others. They even shed light on the motivations behind people's actions. This mirror neuron experience, or embrace, shapes the “feeling” of opening statements, joint and private discussions, option negotiation, and settlement agreement drafting. For example, the mediator's expertise in active listening, awareness of verbal cues, summarizing skills, and non-judgmental comments create a safe, protective space that fosters lengthy discussions, open disclosure, and creative movement toward a settlement agreement. Also, it reduces the emotional exhaustion of conflict: the weariness factor of engaging in conflict. Understanding how to build and utilize this metaphorical embrace and following the pragmatic process is crucial for a tremendously successful facilitative mediation and warrants further exploration.

Abstract On a day in July 1941, a German officer stood at the door smiling. “ Will you put me up for one night?” Chaja knew enough German to understand. But what could she reply? Afraid to say yes, afraid to say no, she nodded in agreement, but made no move. The man brushed past her. She followed, listening to him. “ I like your house, it looks better than the others. My men are settled for the night. I am glad that you don’ t mind.” Then, as an afterthought, he added, “ Don’ t be afraid of me. I will not harm you.”

Which political and juridical foundation can justify the transit from the Western, particular, to the universal? John Rawls tries to answer this question in his article, "The Law of Peoples," proposing a kind of contract or agreement. A first agreement should be attained among liberal-democratic societies on a few political and social issues such as human rights. Then this agreement can be widened to non-liberal/democratic but well organized hierarchical societies or those that satisfy the requisites of being peaceful, of having a reasonably well organized legal system, of admitting a measure of freedom-political and religious-and of admitting the right of emigration. These two groups of nations would belong to a Society of Nations with the juridical and political duty of fulfilling the few political issues that have been previously accepted. But Rawls' proposal overcomes neither eurocentrism nor western-centrism. It seems that the first circle of liberal democratic nations would decide which peoples satisfy the requirements of the 'well organized hierarchical societies.' This second circle of nations are only invited peoples; they are not supposed to contribute new proposals, but only to accept the proposals of the liberal-democratic nations. I present a new effort to attain human rights through a true universal dialogue in which the representatives of all cultures and peoples can equally speak, make proposals, and listen or accept the proposals of others.

Abstract This chapter addresses tension and conflict within groups, including strategies for working well together and creating a healthy environment for rehearsals and performances. These foundational skills, combined with the rehearsal techniques and strategies, heighten the excellence of ensemble performance. Foundational strategies for building collaborative teams include appreciation, inquiry, invitation, listening, energy, and collaborative dialogue. Sources of conflict include blaming, taking things personally, lack of focus, misunderstandings, assumptions, strongly held views, and not following through. The chapter concludes with strategies for working well together, such as “try every idea as if it were your own,” the rule of agreement from comedy theater improv, humor, respecting personalities, emotional intelligence, and “bring your best self” to rehearsals.

Objective: In this study we present a comparison of the analytical performance of some reagents for RT-PCR or lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) tested in our laboratory since the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Since 2020, the laboratory professionals tested seven different RT-PCR detection kits (Micobiomed, Roche, Hybribio, LGC, LGC – fast protocol, Seegene, and Om Mico Rox) and 11 antigen detection kits (Acro, Bioscience, Panbio, ECO – rapid, fluorescence-based, and hybrid test – Labtest, PelkinElmer, Roche, Wama, and Siemens) to evaluate their analytical performance. All tests were performed according to their manufacturer’s instructions. Sensitivity, specificity, and agreement (Cohen’s Kappa index) were calculated for each detection kit. Conclusion: Over 260 samples were tested by RT-PCR methods. Sensitivity ranged from 88.2% to 100%, Specificity from 96.7% to 100%, and Agreement from 92.3% to 100%. For LFIA tests results, a total of 293 samples were tested. Sensitivity ranged from 60% to 100%, Specificity of 100%, and Agreement from 80% to 100%. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), LFIA tests for antigen detection should have sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 97% when compared with a molecular test in order to qualify for WHO Emergency Use Authorization listing. Most of the kits tested by us have accomplished that recommendation. Panbio kit have not reached that mark, however it was due to the selection of samples with high CTs in the RT-PCR. These data show that rapid antigen detection present appropriate performance when compared to RT-PCR. They can be a faster and applicable alternative, especially when used in the recommended detection window to reduce false-negative rates.

New Hanover County, NC, hired Gershman, Brickner & Bratton, Inc. (GBB) to help prepare a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the management and long-term operations of the County’s solid waste disposal facilities, which include a secure landfill with more than 40 years of remaining life, a 20+ year old waste-to-energy (WTE) plant, and seven recycling drop-off sites receiving over 200,000 tons per year. The RFP requested a single-service provider to provide all of the services currently being undertaken by the County under a single contract going forward. During the course of the procurement, GBB’s Project Manager made three presentations to the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners (County Board), advancing the RFP process from eight vendor proposals, to interviews of five firms and performing a technical and economic review of each, to short-listing two firms, to the final recommendation of going forward with high-tech start-up R3 Environmental LLC (R3). In September 2010, the County Board signed a landmark contract with R3 for the management of the County’s waste system that was intended to position the County as a world leader in innovative disposal, according to County officials. Under the agreement, R3 was to implement a modern Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) processing facility pulling out recyclables and making a low-ash, high-BTU Refused-Derived Fuel (RDF) biomass product, refurbishing the current mass-burn WTE facility into an RDF biomass-fired system, and implementing a new construction waste and demolition debris recycling (C&D) processing system. The new solid waste sorting facility, with advanced machinery, dubbed a “Smart MRF,” was expected to be in operation in two years, extracting recyclables and converting the organic waste stream into fuel. R3 guaranteed to divert over 80% of the incoming solid waste from the landfill. This paper provides a unique behind-the-scenes look at the procurement process used to select this “innovative technology proposal” from R3 as it pertained to recycling potential, carbon credits and renewable energy credits, and significant long-term cost benefits to the County. It will also provide a review of the vendor evaluation process that led to this landmark contract, from the RFP preparation, proposals evaluation, technical/economic reviews, short-listing, recommendations, and technical contract negotiation.

A Content Analysis of Social Media Posts during COVID-19 Pandemic." In Qatar University Annual Research Forum & Exhibition. Qatar University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.29117/quarfe.2020.0286.
Full textAbstract:
Social media posts can be used to explore public perceptions of interprofessional teams and healthcare professionals. The aim of this study was to use social listening technique to explore unfiltered public perceptions of the professionals involved in healthcare teams during the COVID-19 pandemic, in a naturalistic online setting, and to elaborate on the emotional reactions in response to an online social media post. A cross-sectional retrospective review of comments on a specific social media post was conducted between 15 March and 28 April 2020 using summative content analysis. One image that was widely circulated on social media platforms with two questions: ‘Who society thinks works at hospital? versus who really works at hospitals?’ was selected. Three platforms were searched, Facebook®, Twitter®, and LinkedIn®. Only publicly available posts were included. Out of the initial 40 posts identified, 21 posts, which had 1759 comments, were analysed and 1576 were included for coding. Of the emerging nine themes, perceptions of who is in the team was the largest (40.5%, n = 639), followed by agreement (23.1%, n = 364) and feeling excluded (16.2%, n = 255). Of emotional expressions, 42.1% were positive and 57.9% negative. The most frequent emotions were frustration (54.4%, n = 857) followed by gratitude (16.3%, n = 257) and relief (15.9%, n = 250). The post brought considerable attention to the role of the interprofessional team and generated many feelings of frustration and exclusion. For this reason, the response to this social media post is very important and not to be overlooked. Healthcare professionals need to work together to strengthen their presence as an interprofessional team, united to deliver safe effective quality care for patients. The current COVID-19 pandemic and the media attention should be taken as an opportunity by the interprofessional community to work together to combat negative media stereotypes. Further research is warranted on public perceptions of the healthcare team.

In International Joint Power Generation Conference collocated with TurboExpo 2003. ASMEDC, 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/ijpgc2003-40158.
Full textAbstract:
Wet steam is a common occurrence at the exhaust of the LP turbines in fossil-fired steam plants. In nuclear turbines, wet steam will be found right from the high-pressure sections. The presence of moisture in steam reduces the aerodynamic efficiency of the turbine sections, thus reducing the overall efficiency of the turbine. Additionally, water droplets also cause erosion and corrosion of buckets and other components. LP turbines account for a significant portion of the total cost of the turbines (due to the enormous sizes required by the expanding steam) and produce significant portion of the power output. Measuring and controlling wetness will help improve both the performance and reliability of turbines. A novel way of measuring the composition of wet steam using a speed of sound based technique is being developed. The technique, based on technology developed for measuring two-phase flow compositions in down-hole (oil-field) applications, relies on measuring acoustic pressures propagating in a one-dimensional wave-guide (pipe or tube) using an array of axially located pressure transducers. The technique is non-intrusive to the flow field and relies on passive listening of the noise generated by the flow itself (and, hence differs from the conventional ultrasound based techniques). The current study is an ongoing effort and the paper will focus on the feasibility of this technique for wet steam application. The eventual aim is to be able to measure steam wetness in the range of 0–10% with an accuracy of ± 0.2%. Initially, the ability of the technique to accurately measure the wetness in air-water mixture was established using an air and water mist facility. Next, high subsonic flow conditions were evaluated in single phase (air only) flow using a wind tunnel facility. Excellent agreement between speed of sound calculated for air, based on conventional pressure and temperature measurements in a wind tunnel, and that measured directly by the probe was obtained. The wind tunnel tests showed that the SOS measured by the probe and conventional instrumentation agreed within ± 1.5%. This establishes that the technique is capable of accurately measuring the speed of sound, which is the primary variable to calculate the flow composition. The technique can also be used to measure volume. Although the wind tunnel tests were not specifically designed to assess the accuracy of the flow rate measurement, comparisons were made between the flow velocities given by the probe and reference measurements. The additional motivation was to assess the ability of the probe to monitor volume flow/mass flow at high Mach numbers where only shorter straight sections are available. The flow velocities measured by the probe agreed with those calculated using the wind tunnel instrumentation (wall-static taps) within the estimated uncertainty levels introduced by the flow blockage and profile distortions. Additional tests are planned to assess flow rate accuracy. Effort is continuing to study steam flows representative of exhaust of low pressure steam turbines in steam plants.
