This paper is dedicated to the strategic analysis of one of the most well-known Dutch brands in the world, Philips. The central, most important question here is whether the major change in its product strategy during the second decennium of the twenty-first century — from consumer electronics such as audio, television and lightning to healthcare sector — provides the sustainable competitive advantage that has comforted Philips for many years by now. After an overview of the company as such, the current strategy is explored through some relevant remarks about its market model, strategy and strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (under SWOT analysis). The future strategy is described with some remarks about the value proposition of Philips, possible strategy changes, a suggested competitive advantage flowchart along with two successful examples of the strategic growth steps.

Full textAbstract:
This article aims to explain the ideas and the significance of Dr. Bilal Philips, a prominent ‘Salafi‘preacher, a major proponent of Neo-Traditional Salafism, and how his writings and activities can aid us in understanding the dynamics regarding the nature of Salafism in the West as a discursive tradition with deep roots in the Islamic intellectual history, as well as an element of global Salafi movements. As such, the article focuses primarily on identifying and analyzing Philips’ ideas on what constitutes a proper approach to interpreting the Qur’ān and Sunna in the light of the Islamic legal and exegetical tradition. After discussing the reasons why the ideas of Philips are significant for understanding Salafism in the West, the article focuses on his views on the conceptual relationship between sunna and hadīth, the broader hermeneutic characterization of the main four Sunni schools of thought (madhāhib), and issues pertaining to the correct methodology of Qur’ānic exegesis (tafsīr). The article also discusses the internal factionalism and the contentedness of the category of Salafism among western Salafis by examining one critique levelled at Philips by his fellow Salafis residing in the West, with the view of not only understanding and situating the views of Philips more accurately but also to provide an avenue to understand the internal Salafi dynamics in the West in particular.

Full textAbstract:
Background Cardiac and major vascular surgeries are common surgical procedures associated with high rates of postsurgical complications and related hospital readmission. In-hospital remote automated monitoring (RAM) and virtual hospital-to-home patient care systems have major potential to improve patient outcomes following cardiac and major vascular surgery. However, the science of deploying and evaluating these systems is complex and subject to risk of implementation failure. Objective As a precursor to a randomized controlled trial (RCT), this user testing study aimed to examine user performance and acceptance of a RAM and virtual hospital-to-home care intervention, using Philip’s Guardian and Electronic Transition to Ambulatory Care (eTrAC) technologies, respectively. Methods Nurses and patients participated in systems training and individual case-based user testing at two participating sites in Canada and the United Kingdom. Participants were video recorded and asked to think aloud while completing required user tasks and while being rated on user performance. Feedback was also solicited about the user experience, including user satisfaction and acceptance, through use of the Net Promoter Scale (NPS) survey and debrief interviews. Results A total of 37 participants (26 nurses and 11 patients) completed user testing. The majority of nurse and patient participants were able to complete most required tasks independently, demonstrating comprehension and retention of required Guardian and eTrAC system workflows. Tasks which required additional prompting by the facilitator, for some, were related to the use of system features that enable continuous transmission of patient vital signs (eg, pairing wireless sensors to the patient) and assigning remote patient monitoring protocols. NPS scores by user group (nurses using Guardian: mean 8.8, SD 0.89; nurses using eTrAC: mean 7.7, SD 1.4; patients using eTrAC: mean 9.2, SD 0.75), overall NPS scores, and participant debrief interviews indicated nurse and patient satisfaction and acceptance of the Guardian and eTrAC systems. Both user groups stressed the need for additional opportunities to practice in order to become comfortable and proficient in the use of these systems. Conclusions User testing indicated a high degree of user acceptance of Philips’ Guardian and eTrAC systems among nurses and patients. Key insights were provided that informed refinement of clinical workflow training and systems implementation. These results were used to optimize workflows before the launch of an international RCT of in-hospital RAM and virtual hospital-to-home care for patients undergoing cardiac and major vascular surgery.

Application trends in the 1990's will continue to be driven by the pursuit of materials characterisation to higher levels of structural and chemical resolution. Due to the information-limit and current-density limitations of LaB6 sources, further advancements will require better electron guns. The choice of guns includes Cold, Thermally-assisted Cold and Schottky Field Emitters. For SEM and STEM the Cold Field Emitter is a reasonable choice, because the primary criterion for small-probe techniques is current density. This logic doesn't apply to TEMs, which require both high current density for small probes and high total current for large-area illumination at various TEM magnification levels. Table 1 compares Schottky and Cold Field emitters in different applications and microscope construction. In view of its performance (Figs. 1 and 2), the Field Emission Gun is expected to have a major impact on TEM in the 1990's.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractPhilips Wouwerman(s) was undoubtedly the most accomplished and successful Dutch painter of equestrian scenes in the 17th century. Even so, neither a critical study of his work nor a documented biography has been published. The present essay not only presents the results of archive research but also outlines his artistic development. Besides the seven dated pictures by the artist known by Hofstede de Groot, several others have been discovered. Wouwerman was born in Haarlem, the eldest son of the painter Pouwels Joosten and his fourth wife, Susanna van den Bogert. Two other sons, Pieter and Johannes Wouwerman, were also to become painters. Wouwerman's grandfather originally came from Brussels. Philips probably received his first painting lessons from his father, none of whose work has been identified however, making it impossible to determine the extent of his influence on the son's work. According to Cornelis de Bie, Wouwerman was next apprenticed to Frans Hals. He is subsequently reputed to have spent several weeks in 1638 or 1639 working in Hamburg in the studio of the German history painter Evert Decker. In Hamburg he married Annetje Pietersz van Broeckhof. On 4 September 1640 Wouwerman became a member of the Haarlem painters' guild, in which he held the office of vinder in 1646. In the following years his presence in Haarlem is mentioned repeatedly. In view of the many southern elements in his landscapes it has frequently been suggested that Wouwerman travelled to France or Italy. However, there is no documentary evidence of his having left Haarlem for any length of time. Wouwerman died on 19 May 1668 and was buried on 23 May 1668 in the Nieuwe Kerk in Haarlem. He evidently attained a certain degree of prosperity, going by the relatively large sums of money each of his seven children inherited on his widow's death in 1670 and by the various houses he owned. No confirmation can be found of Arnold Houbraken's often quoted remark that Wouwerman's daughter Ludovica brought a dowry of 20,000 guilders with her in 1672 when she married the painter Hendrik de Fromantiou (1633/34 - after 1694). Wouwerman's oeuvre consists mainly of small cabinet pieces with horses, such as battle and hunting scenes, army camps, smithies and interiors of stables. He also painted sensitively executed silvery-grey landscapes, genre pieces and a few original representations of religious and mythological scenes. Wouwerman was also exceptionally prolific. Although he only lived to the age of 48, more than a thousand paintings bear his name. Even when one bears in mind that a number of these paintings should actually be attributed to his brothers Pieter and Jan, Philips left an extraordinarily large oeuvre. Only a small number of drawings by his hand are known. His pupils include Nicolaes Ficke, Jacob Warnars, Emanuel Murant and his brothers Pieter (1623-1682) and Jan Wouwerman (1629-1666). He had many followers and his paintings were much sought after in the i8th and early 19th centuries, especially in France. Important collections created during that period, including those which form the nuclei of the museums in St Petersburg, Dresden and The Hague, all contain a large number of his works. Establishing a chronology with respect to Philips Wouwerman's work is extremely problematic. His extensive oeuvre notwithstanding, only a comparatively small number of paintings are dated. The style of the signature enables us to date pictures only within wide margins: the monogram composed of P, H, and W was only used before 1646; thenceforth he used a monogram composed of PHILS and W. Wouwerman's earliest dated work, of 1639 (sale London, Christie's, October 10, 1972), is of minor quality. However, during the 1640s his talents improved rapidly. During that period he was strongly influenced by the Haarlem painter Pieter van Laer (1599 - after 1642) with respect to both style and subject matter. This tallies with Houbraken's remark that Wouwerman laid his hands on sketches and studies by Van Laer after that artist's death. Van Laer's influence is evident in Attack on a Coach, dated 1644, in the collection of the Prince of Liechtenstein, Vaduz. Several figures and details are quotations from works by Van Laer. Most of Wouwerman's compositions of the mid-1640os are dominated by a diagonally placed hill or dune covering most of the horizon, a tree - often dead - as a repoussoir and a few rather large figures, usually with horses. Landscape with Peasants Merrymaking in front of a Cottage in the City Art Gallery, Manchester, Battle Scene in the National Gallery, London and Landscape with a Resting Horseman in the Museum der Bildcnden Künste, Leipzig, all dated 1646, are proof that Wouwerman gradually developed his own style; nonetheless, Van Laer continued to be an important source of inspiration. As demonstrated by the four known dated paintings of 1649, the artist had replaced his sombre palette for a more colourful one by that time, and had also adopted a predominantly more horizontal scheme for his compositions. During that same period Wouwerman' pictures came to reflect a growing interest in landscape, and in the first half of the 1650s he produced a number of paintings which bear witness to his mastery of the landscape idiom. In a Landscape with Horsemen, of 1652, in a private British collection, painted in silvery tones, the figures and horses are reduced to a fairly insignificant staffage. Genre elements continued to play an important role in most of his paintings, though. One of his most successful works of that period is the Festive Peasants before a Panorama, dated 1653, in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Perhaps nowhere else in his oeuvre did the artist succeed in producing such a happy synthesis of genre and landscape elements. In the second half of the 1650s Wouwerman painted many of the fanciful hunting scenes - often with a vaguely Italian setting and brighter local colours - which were particularly sought after in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Only a few dated works from the last decade of his life have been preserved, but they do show a tendency towards more sombre colours and suggest a slight decline in his artistic skills. Van Laer's stylistic influence on Wouwerman had almost disappeared by then, although it continued to play a major role in terms of subject matter. After the middle of the 19th century Wouwerman's popularity waned, but more recently his work has met with increasing acclaim.

The Automobile Association, Ordnance Survey, Philips BV and Robert Bosch GmbH are collaborating in a project to create and test a prototype navigation database. The project, (PANDORA–Prototyping A Navigation Database Of Road-network Attributes) which is being managed by consultants MVA Systematica, is supported by the European Community's DRIVE initiative.The data requirements of future vehicle navigation systems such as CARIN from Philips, Travelpilot/EVA from Bosch and the Autoguide scheme for London have been examined. Digital street networks have been extracted mainly from Ordnance Survey's large-scale digital mapping, and the necessary road and traffic attributes have been collected by the AA. These data have been integrated into a specially-designed prototype database for parts of London and Birmingham and the major interconnecting roads. Data have been abstracted from the database and supplied to Bosch and Philips using the Geographic Data Files (GDF) standard developed in the DEMETER project. This dataset is being tested in field trials using prototype vehicle navigation systems. The dataset will also be provided to the DRIVE Project ‘Task Forc European Digital Road Map’ as benchmark test task number 12.This paper describes the project, dealing with its objectives and relationship to other European initiatives, the work undertaken, the standards utilized and developed, its results and conclusions, and the lessons learned with respect to provision of data for larger areas of Europe. A glossary of technical terms and abbreviations is also included.

In 1968, as an undergraduate, I was first taught how to operate a Philips EM300 TEM that, at the time, was a state-of-the-art 100 keV TEM for materials studies. Last year, I spent time evaluating current state-of-the-art microscopes, f.e., intermediate-voltage, field-emission gun TEMs, from all the major manufacturers. In watching the operators running these latest microscopes, I was struck by the similarity between many of their actions and the same steps that I had learned, so laboriously, 30 years previously.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a major mental disorder in children. Presently, its pathogenesis and treatment as well as its role in adult psychiatry are subjects of heated debate. As early as 1846, the typical symptoms of ADHD were described by Heinrich Hoffmann, a physician who later founded the first mental hospital in Frankfurt. Interestingly, his description was published in a children's book entitled “Struwwelpeter” which he had designed for his 3-year-old son Carl Philipp. The symptomatology is impressively depicted in the colourfully illustrated story of “Zappel-Philipp” (“Fidgety Philip”), probably the first written mention of ADHD by a medical professional. This clearly shows that the diagnosis of ADHD is not an “invention” of modern times.

One of the contemporary production books for Don Carlos thus austerely sums up the Philippe–Posa duet in Act II (of the five-act version); its none-too-subtle indication of grand themes handled seriously is one that has consistently driven the piece's reception. As so often, Verdi himself encouraged the trend – most significantly by treating the duet to more substantial revision than any other major piece in his entire output. Some drastic cutting occurred even during rehearsals, so that the supposed Urfassung predates the first performance. What is commonly referred to as the ‘original’ version corresponds, then, to the music performed at the 1867 Paris première. This was substantially refashioned for Naples in 1872 (with Italian text only), and given an even more thorough overhaul in 1884. The four versions have been much discussed: indeed, revisions such as these were one of the proving grounds on which Verdi (and thus his admirers) became musicologically respectable. Where would we stand today without those four versions and their many Verdian copains? Possibly on some other, less comfortable podium.

In recent years, there have been many dramatic recordings of dynamic behavior, taken at the atomic level by high-resolution electron microscopy. However in the majority of cases, reliance has been placed on the imaging electron beam to bring about the changes in question. There are many disadvantages to this approach, not the least of which is the lack of experimental control available to the operator. Accordingly we have developed the application of a heating holder to achieve stable elevated temperatures at which reactions can be followed under atomic imaging conditions. This article briefly reviews our progress to-date.Our microscope system is quite conventional, showing that there is no major impediment to hot-stage HREM. We have employed a Philips EM 430 ST (300kV) instrument equipped with a Gatan image pick-up device and a commercial video-recorder. The heating holder is the Philips single tilt sideentry model (PW 6592) which we have found works well up to about 875°C. Of course a double tilt holder is preferable but we overcome the tilting limitations by judicious positioning of cross-section specimens. Image stability can be achieved by heating to a temperature below that of the observation for several minutes before "ramping up" to the desired level.

Abstract Abstract 5160 Iron-induced cardiac dysfunction is a leading cause of death in transfusion-dependent anemia. Myocardial T2* magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a rapid and reproducible measure of cardiac iron loading and is being increasingly used worldwide for monitoring of transfusion-dependent thalassaemia patients. Recent reports associate myocardial siderosis (T2* <20 ms) with impaired left ventricular (LV) function, as well as with right ventricular (RV) function. As RV dysfunction may play a significant role in heart failure associated with myocardial siderosis the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between cardiac T2* and RV function in patients treated in a single institution. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 190 well chelated patients with beta-thalassaemia major presenting for their first T2*. MRI scan (examination year 2005) was performed (53.7% male, mean age 26,2±8,3 years). The majority of patients were on Desferrioxamine and 30% were on Deferiprone. Patient's mean ferritin, mean T2* and mean RVEF was 1467±1087 ng/ml, 32,5±15,8ms and 67,9±5,25% respectively. Magnetic resonance images were acquired using a single imager (Philips®, Philips Medical Systems Ltd, Eindhoven, The Netherlands) equipped with a 1.5 Tesla magnet. Each scan included the measurement of heart T2* (mid-septum) together with LV and RV volumes, EF, and mass using previously published techniques. Pearson correlation was used to assess the statistical significance between myocardial T2*, ferritin, RV volumes (End Systolic and End Diastolic), and EF. Results: In 156 patients (Group A) with normal myocardial T2* (>20 ms), the RV ejection fraction (EF) was within the normal range (>55%) in all of them. Mean ferritin, mean T2* and mean RVEF for Group A was 1397±1007ng/ml, 39±11ms and 68,6 ±4,8% respectively. No correlation with feritin was found. In the remaining 34 patients (Group B) with myocardial T2* <20ms, mean ferritin, mean T2* and mean RVEF was 1664±1341ng/ml, 10,8±4,2ms and 64,8±7,35% respectively. Although there was a good correlation between T2* and RVEF for the entire group (A+B) (r=0,312, p=0,001) we did not find a correlation between T2* and RVEF for Group B (r=0,074, p=ns). In the contrary there was a strong correlation between T2* and ferritin for Group B (r=0,382, p=0,0034). There was no other significant correlation between T2* and RESV, REDV for both groups. There was a linear relationship between RV and LVEF for the whole group (r=0,454, p=0,001), for Group A (r=0,269, p=0,015) and more significant for Group B (r=0,720, p=0,001). Conclusions: Myocardial iron deposition by MRI seems not to be associated with RV dysfunction, although it is related to ferritin. The decrease in LV function seen with worsening cardiac iron loading does not necessarily predicts right ventricular dysfunction. The only limitation of our study is that in contrast with other reports the percentage of patients with abnormal T2* was smaller (18%). Larger studies are required to determine the relation of right ventricular function and cardiac iron overload. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract Although in the early-modern period The Hague was not officially a city, its identity was based on specifically urban features. During the 17th and 18th century, its ambiguous status was explored by the authors of verse urban encomia and prose descriptiones urbium. In this article, the presentation of The Hague will be first discussed on the example of Caspar Barlaeus’ Latin poem “Haga”, and Constantijn Huygens’ Dutch encomium “’s Gravenhage” from the Dorpen [Villages] cycle of epigrams. Then, the image of The Hague will be examined in the context of an allegorical representation by Jan Caspar Philips in Jacob de Riemer’s Beschryving van ‘s Graven-hage [Description of The Hague, 1730]. The concluding remarks address the question of how the transformation of the status of The Hague undertaken by these writers and artists may be understood in the context of the literary-historical geography of the Northern Renaissance which has been a special subject of research by Professor Andrzej Borowski.

Objective: Earning Management has been one of the major areas of accounting research which has received a great attention in the past and also quite recently. Detecting earning management has always been one of the major areas of concern for the researchers. Earnings Management is pervasive. There are a number of models available to Detect and measure the earnings management activity.
Methodology: The accrual models are the most used models to proxy the discretionary accruals and the earnings management. The effectiveness of the accrual models is somewhat skeptical at times when researchers found some inconsistencies in results while using the accrual models. The researchers are still finding some better and effective model that can be used to better measure and capture the earnings management activity. The focus of this study is to find out as to whether a deferred tax as compared to accrual models is more useful in measuring or detecting the earnings management in Pakistani perspective. The study is based on the Pakistani companies listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE). This study is expected to be an addition to the existing research as to whether the models used for detecting earnings management through deferred taxes by Philips et al (2003) are also applicable to Pakistani Scenario which is a developing country. The study used Probit Regression Model with pooled cross sectional data to measure the usefulness of both; accruals and deferred taxes (the proxies) used as better measure for Earnings management.
Results: The results of the study are inconsistent with the Philips et al. (2003) study. Based on this study it is concluded that deferred tax is not incrementally useful along with the other accrual measure. The accruals models show significant results and are more powerful metric to detect earnings management as compared to the deferred taxes in Pakistan.

O romance Dom Casmurro, de Machado de Assis, há mais de cem anos provoca os leitores com suas armadilhas ao longo da narrativa de Bento Santiago. Lido, à primeira vista, como uma espécie de memórias autobiográficas desse personagem, Dom Casmurro pode ser lido de outra forma. Este trabalho terá como meta aproximar as recentes discussões em torno do universo das escritas de si, de modo a observar com maior atenção as estratégias de recriação de um relato supostamente real, ainda que dentro do universo da ficção de Machado. Para tanto, aproximaremos o diálogo com alguns nomes da crítica machadiana, como Helen Caldwell, Roberto Schwarz, John Gledson e Abel Barros Baptista, além de autores no campo teórico, como Michel Foucault, Evando Nascimento, Leonor Arfuch e Philippe Lejeune.

A tentativa de aproximação entre literatura e educação está encontrando um número cada vez maior de adeptos. Isso parece indicar a emergência de um novo logos pedagógico que tenta, talvez, ultrapassar as fronteiras de reflexão impostas pelas "ciências da educação". Algumas dessas tentativas, no entanto, apresentam certas (e compreensíveis) limitações, como a ausência de uma "teoria da recepção" dos textos ficcionais, mas, em outros casos, demonstra a ambição de revolucionar o discurso pedagógico por intermédio da literatura, na qual a própria pedagogia se transforma em projeto de "estetização da existência". Tomando Philippe Meirieu e Jorge Larrosa como ilustrações das "limitações" e da "ambição revolucionária", respectivamente, o artigo procura mostrar como o romantismo e o nietzscheanismo tentam constituir um novo discurso que pretende, uma vez mais, nos salvar da "sociedade administrada".

AimThe National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA)1 identified heparin as a major cause of adverse events associated with adverse incidents, including some fatalities. By ensuring good communication, this should be associated with risk reduction.1 The aim of this study was to ensure there is clear anticoagulation communication on discharge, from the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) electronic prescribing system (Philips), to the paediatric cardiac high dependency unit and paediatric cardiac ward. To investigate whether the heparin regimen complies with the hospital’s anticoagulant guidelines and if there is any deviation; that this is clearly documented. To find out if there is an indication documented for the heparin regimen chosen and if there is a clear long term plan documented for the patient, after heparin cessation.MethodsA report was generated for all patients who were prescribed a heparin infusion on PICU, between 1st January 2018 and 30th June 2018, from the Philips system. All discharge summaries from the PICU Philips system were reviewed. Only paediatric cardiac patients were included that had a heparin infusion prescribed on discharge, all other discharge summaries were excluded from the study. Each discharge summary was reviewed in the anticoagulant section; for the heparin regimen chosen, whether it complies with the hospital’s anticoagulant guidelines and if there was any deviation whether this was documented. The indication documented of which heparin regimen was chosen and whether a clear long term plan was documented after heparin cessation; for example if the patient is to be transferred onto aspirin, clopidogrel, warfarin or enoxaparin.Results82 discharge summaries were reviewed over the 6 month period between 1st January 2018 and 30th June 2018; 16 were excluded as were not paediatric cardiac, leaving 66 paediatric cardiac discharge summaries that were reviewed. 45 out of 66 (68%) complied with the hospital’s heparin anticoagulation guidelines. Of the 32% that deviated from the protocol; only 33% (7 out of 21) had a reason documented. Only 50% (33) of the summaries reviewed had an indication for anticoagulation noted on the discharge summary and 91% of discharge summaries had a long term anticoagulant plan documented.ConclusionThe electronic prescribing system can help to ensure a clear anticoagulation communication as shown by 91% of the anticoagulation long term plan being clearly documented; making it a more seamless patient transfer. On the Philips PICU electronic prescribing system there is an anticoagulant section on the discharge summary that has 3 boxes that need to be completed; heparin regimen, indication and anticoagulation long term plan. However, despite these boxes; deviations from the anticoagulant protocol were poorly documented as highlighted by only 33% having the reason highlighted in the discharge summary, only 50% of the indications were documented. Despite having prompts for this information on the discharge summary, the medical staffs needs to be aware to complete this information, in order to reduce potential medication errors and risk.ReferenceThe National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA).

Para el análisis, utilizamos el esquema de la doble enunciación (Serrano, 2013b); los puntos valor, de Jouve (2001); los tipos de evaluación, de Philippe Hamon (1984), y el concepto de legitimidad, de Patrick Charadeau (2005). En la conclusión se evidenció que la estrategia narrativa y argumentativa consistió en instalar un narrador que puso diestramente el reflector en aquellas secuencias en las que se narra el padecimiento de esta familia con el secuestro de su hija, a manos de Pablo Escobar, mientras se evita enunciar aquellas en las que los Turbay ejercieron y usufructuaron el poder. Esta maniobra por omisión demuestra el sesgo ideológico de este reportaje

Full textAbstract:
The assembly pathway of the HK97 capsid passes through four stages, starting with the first complete precursor and ending with the mature head. The earliest particle, Prohead I, contains 415-420 copies of the major capsid protein (42kDa) arrayed in a T=7 icosahedral lattice. Proteolytic cleavage (42kDa → 31kDa) converts Prohead I into Prohead II. Expansion of Prohead II into Head I involves a major conformational change that is thought to be triggered in vivo by DNA packaging. The final transition to Head II involves the formation of covalent crosslinks between capsid protein subunits that confer additional stability. We have been examining the structural basis of these transitionsand describe here the Prohead II and Head II states.Highly purified preparations of capsids were prepared either from expression vectors of capsid proteins or from growing phage mutants in E. coli cells. Samples were prepared for electron microscopy in the frozen, hydrated, state, and imaged in a Philips EM400T operating at 100kV, using a Gatan 626 cryo-holder. Micrographs were digitized and three-dimensional density maps were calculated as described.

The determination of the best period for image acquisition is of major importance for research in aerial and remote sensing archaeology. This will facilitate enhanced research results by enabling the iden ti fi cation of large numbers of traces that would be otherwise unidentified. To determine the best period for satellite image acquisition in the extensive archaeological plain of Philippi (Eastern Macedonia, Greece), a systematic observation of change of intensity over time, at known places of buried archaeological structures, was performed. A low-cost image acquisition UAV was developed, which was used to acquire images every month for the period of one year.

AbstractLike most baroque concerts, the Concerto for trumpet and orchestra in D major by Georg Philipp Telemann raises particular problems of interpretation. It is a concert written in the head register of the trumpet, with frequent references in the acute register. I should mention that the head register of a trumpet depends on its size. At a normal trumpet in and flat (and not piccolo), the acute register is from do (and flat from the first octave) to the next do ascendant. The head register continues from do2 to do3. In the trumpets in do, re, mi flat, fa, sol, the principle remains the same, with a variability depending on the size of the trumpet, except that in the acute record the other notes correspond to that of the flat, but the upper limit is generally the same.

When Harley Granville Barker was invited to stage a theatre season in New York following the outbreak of the First World War, senior figures within British politics seized on it as an opportunity to promote the British war effort in the United States. It was, however, Barker's impromptu decision to extend his stay and tour Euripides’ The Trojan Women to major colleges on the East Coast that saw him come close to realizing this goal. Through an examination of the production, the discourse that surrounded it, and the changing diplomatic relations between Britain and the USA, Philippa Burt explores in this article the extent to which Barker used Euripides as a propaganda tool through which to engage and educate the largely isolationist North American public. At the same time, she argues that Barker challenged the propaganda machine by refusing to perpetuate the dominant nationalistic and xenophobic narratives and, instead, intended a condemnation of all war. Philippa Burt is a lecturer in the Department of Theatre and Performance at Goldsmiths, University of London. Her previous publications include numerous articles and a chapter on Barker's work with choruses in the forthcoming The Great European Stage Directors, Vol. 4: Reinhardt, Jessner, Barker (Bloomsbury Methuen).

Full textAbstract:
Recent developments in Scanning Electron Microscopy have been technology driven. Major improvements have been made in information exchange, image processing technology, mechanical precision devices such as specimen stages, detector design, field emision guns, etc. In this process of automation and refining , the SEM became a rather complicated instrument to handle up to its full capabilities. When designing a user interface for such an instrument, considerable care must be taken that the instrument can be operated in an easy, straightforward way without losing functionality due to oversimplified automation.In the Philips XL SEM series, the user interface provides functional control over the microscope, where a function is defined by what the user wants to achieve, rather than by the individual hardware parts that have to be addressed in order to achieve the result. Such a function-based user interface can be realised by emploing a three-layered machine structure.The first layer consists of a mix of hardware parts such as an electron gun, lenses, a scan generator, an image processor, etc. In a second layer automation and compensation routines are performed by dedicated computers linked within a distributed intelligence network. Thus any of the primary parameters can be changed and the effect can be observed immediately as the related parameters are automatically readjusted. The third, outer layer is the actual user interface, implemented as customer-defined application programs running in an MS-DOS (MICROSOFT™) Windows environment on a personal computer. Simple mouse control provides fast access to a variety of application programs such as microscope setup, imaging, specimen survey, EDX analysis, linewidth measurement, image analysis and image database management. The window applications are overlaid on the microscope image, since the image is the essence of microscopy.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyses the disintegration of hybrid genres, a major trend that has been taking shape in French literature in recent decades. Having exhausted the resources for hybridization of genres and survived the ‘death of the author’ period, French literature is searching for new ways to rejuvenate and refresh its genre forms. One option is convergence with other national literary tradition, in order to reconsider its own genre hierarchy and establish a new status of the writing individual between the autobiography and the novel. Particularly interesting in this regard is the attempt to overcome a genre crisis by the French writer Philippe Forest (born in 1962), who draws on the traditions of French avant-garde novels and the Japanese ‘I-novel’ (shôsetsu). The new genre distinguishes itself through special narration forms, the particular meaning of an event, and a certain balance between the imaginary and factual in Forest’s prose.

Full textAbstract:
The translation of important work in science and medicine into the major vernacular languages became imperative when Latin went out of fashion some two hundred years ago. Unfortunately the choice of the translators remained haphazard and without standards as to their qualifications. The only English translation of Philippe Pinel’s masterpiece, the Traité médico-philosophique sur Taliénation mentale on la manie, is a sad example of betrayal by its translator. The Traité appeared in Paris in 1800 and was issued in English in 1806 by the well-known London publishers Cadelt and Davies. Why did they choose a young obstetrician from Sheffield, David Daniel Davis (1777-1841)? Fragmentary sources indicate that one Sayer Walker, M.D., who had known Pinel in Montpellier, acted as intermediary. This article investigates the flaws of the translation and the bias of the translator, with fatal consequences for the Anglo-American literature in the history of mental illness.

Full textAbstract:
The “spatial turn” in the humanities has pointed out how space is produced and how it is affected by power relations, while critical geography has identified the impact of these relations on cartographic representation of space. The presence of maps in travel narratives thus carries certain ideologies and influences the narratives. In Un livre blanc: récit avec cartes [ A Blank Book: Narrative with Maps ] (2007), contemporary French author Philippe Vasset attempts to describe the fifty blank spaces that he has noticed on the topographic map of Paris and its suburbs and visited over a one-year period. This article analyzes the major impact of maps on this narrative and the representation of space that it creates. Despite a direct experience of these “blank spaces”, the narrator is affected by a “cartographic performativity” that prompts him to treat space as a map, and he aims to write as a disembodied cartographer.

Abstract Using a new magnetic resonance method that separately estimates the two principal forms of storage iron, ferritin and hemosiderin, in the heart, we examined the relationship between myocardial storage iron fractions and left ventricular function in thalassemia major. In patients with iron overload, the amount of iron in functional and transport pools changes only slightly. Virtually all of the excess is sequestered in storage forms of iron, as ferritin, a diffuse, soluble fraction, and as hemosiderin, an aggregate, insoluble fraction. The two storage forms of iron strongly affect signal intensity in both T2 and T2* weighted images but influence MRI signal decay through different means because of their differences in solubility and in intracellular distribution (Magn Reson Med2002; 47:1131–8). Separate estimates of the iron concentrations of the two forms of storage iron may be obtained by measuring two distinct relaxation parameters, the “ferritin iron index” (“reduced” transverse relaxation rate) RR2, and the “hemosiderin iron index”, A. We studied 14 patients with thalassemia major, all being treated with subcutaneous deferoxamine. Study participants were examined with a Philips 1.5 T Intera scanner using three Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG)-like multi-echo spin echo sequences with varied inter-echo times, using electrocardiographic triggering and respiratory navigator gating to estimate RR2 and A. The left ventricular shortening fraction was measured using standard echocardiographic methods. The Figure shows the relationship (R=0.91, p<0.0001) between the ferritin index, RR2, and the left ventricular shortening fraction. Figure Figure Overall, variation in the ferritin index explained more than 80% of the variation in ventricular function. For comparison, variation in the hemosiderin index, A, accounted for only about 33% of the variation in shortening fraction. Using an empirical calibration to estimate iron concentrations, variation in total (ferritin + hemosiderin) iron accounted for only about 40% of the variation in ventricular function. In patients with thalassemia major, the concentration of ferritin iron may provide a better indicator of the magnitude of the toxic iron pool than the total storage iron concentration. Magnetic resonance determinations of the partition of storage iron between ferritin and hemosiderin may be clinically valuable in evaluating tissue iron toxicity in patients with transfusional iron overload.

The compact formed between Antonius, Lepidus and Octavian near Bononia in November 43 b.c. (Dio Cass. 46.55.1–3), commonly named the second triumvirate, was characterized by civil conflict. The major battles at Philippi, Perusia and Naulochus led to the presence of many legions in Italy. In addition, a large number of time-served soldiers were settled throughout the peninsula. The requirement of land for the veterans meant conflicting interests arose with landowners who were dispossessed to make way for them. The impact of the army on Rome itself and on the population of the Italian countryside was great during the late first century b.c.

Abstract European Directive 2013/59/EURATOM requires the establishment and use of diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for diagnostic and interventional procedures. The purpose of this study was to establish local DRLs for a major tertiary public hospital. As the hospital is the only such hospital in Malta, the same data collected for setting local DRLs can also be used for setting national DRLs, making local DRLs de facto national DRLs. A retrospective survey of cumulative kerma-area product (KAP) and fluoroscopy time data from the cardiac catheterisation laboratory and interventional radiology suites was carried out. The effect of system upgrades on cumulative KAP was also assessed. Local DRLs were set for common cardiology and interventional radiology procedures. All DRLs compare favourably with those in European literature. A Philips Allura Clarity upgrade to the cardiac catheterisation laboratories led to significant reductions in cumulative KAP (p ≪ 0.05) for most procedures.

Clathrin is the major protein of coated membranes involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis and other membrane-trafficking reactions. The basic clathrin molecule, the triskelion, consisting of three heavy chains (190kDa) and three light chains (23-27kDa), polymerizes into a wide range of fenestrated polyhedral surface lattices. The capacity of triskelions to assemble into closed dodecahedral shells that are extravagantly polymorphic implies that certain degrees of freedom must be present in their molecular structure. To investigate this proposition, we have made a systematic study of the flexibility and the variability in leg-length exhibited by isolated triskelions.Triskelions were isolated from bovine brain. Samples in 5mM Tris.HCl and 50% glycerol were nebulized on to freshly cleaved mica, rotary shadowed with platinum at an elevation angle of 8°, and lightly coated with carbon. The specimens were observed in a Philips EM400T electron microscope at a nominal magnification of 36,000x.

Full textAbstract:
At the end of the 1970s, the corporatism growth industry in political science passed from its competitive stage (articles in journals) to its organized stage (articles collected in books). In the founding text of the new stage, Trends Towards Corporatist Intermediation, Philippe Schmitter explained that corporatism was not itself a theory capable of generating explanations and predictions. Rather, it was a phenomenon that had to be theorized within one of the major competing paradigms of social structure and social change, which he identified as those associated with Durkheimian and Parsonian “structural differentiation,” the historical materialism of Weberian and Marxist-revisionist “organized capitalism,” and the Marxist political economy tradition wherein he located the theories of the state popular at the time. Yet, it was perhaps inevitable, given the accumulation of academic capital associated with growth industries in the social sciences, that Schmitter's (and others') sound advice would be ignored and that grandiose claims would be made for corporatism as a theory in its own right.

Amorphous carbon coatings, including highly sp3-bonded amorphous diamond (a-D), also referred to as tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C), and diamond-like carbon (DLC), have recently been explored for field emission applications [1-3]. These coatings can be deposited uniformly at low temperatures, and possess chemical and mechanical properties similar to those of diamond. They also can be doped with nitrogen to form n-type semiconductors [4]. Diamond coatings, on the other hand, are microscopically nonuniform, usually require deposition temperatures greater than 600 °C, and cannot be doped to produce shallow donor levels [2]. Diamond, a-D, and DLC coated emitters all show enhanced electron emission properties [1-3].The major emphasis of the work presented here is on the parallel electron energy loss spectroscopy (PEELS) characterization of the sp2 and sp3 bonded carbon in the coatings. PEELS spectra and TEM images were recorded with a Philips CM300 FEG TEM, equipped with a Gatan model 666 parallel acquisition EELS spectrometer. The operating voltage was 300 keV.

Zirconolite (CaZrTi2O7) is the major host phase for actinides in Synroc, a promising waste form for the immobilisation of high-level radioactive waste. The effect of radiation damage on the structure and durability of zirconolite are important to predictive modelling of zirconolite's behaviour in the repository environment and risk assessment.In this study, radiation damage effects in zirconolite were investigated by irradiating samples with 1.5 MeV Kr+ ions using the HVEM-Tandem at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and energy loss electron spectroscopy (EELS). The HVEM-Tandem consists of a modified AEI high votage transmission electron microscope interfaced to to a 2 MV tandem ion accelerator. EELS spectra were collected using a Philips 420 TEM, operated at 120 kV, fitted with a Gatan Model 607 Serial EELS. EELS data were recorded at resolutions of ˜1.0 eV and at a dispersion of about ˜0.25 eV.Selected area diffraction patterns (SADs) of individual grains of various zirconolites were monitored as a function of dose to establish the critical dose for aniorphisation (Dc).

The Microscope and Graphic Imaging Center (MAGIC) at California State University, Hayward, has developed a model for interactive remote shared access to visual and analytic scientific instrumentation (IRSA/VASI). Using specialized software over the Internet, instruments such as electron microscopes can be shared throughout the world. Remote access to a centralized microscope provides investigators with specialized equipment that they might not be able to purchase and support on their own. For those who already have such instruments, it affords access to additional equipment and permits them to use their own resources in a wider context. Remote control of instrumentation is being researched and developed at national laboratories, supercomputing centers, and universities. Remote access and control was successfully demonstrated in 19921 and since that time, there have been other major achievements.To demonstrate our model of interactive remote shared access to instrumentation, we have developed a system of software programs for remote control of a Philips XL-40 scanning electron microscope.

Imaging filters produce energy-selected images in a few seconds, and chemical maps formed by processing of several images taken at different energy losses in typically less than one minute. On the other hand, imaging filters do not provide detailed spectra from each specimen point, and are vulnerable to artifacts due to variations in specimen thickness, and other effects influencing EELS background extrapolation and subtraction. These include diffraction contrast arising particularly in crystalline samples, edge overlap, and extended fine structures (EXELFS) in the pre-edge region caused by major edges at lower energies. We have therefore been exploring the practical usefulness of imaging filters on a range of specimens from materials science and biology. The results suggest that the imaging capability combined with full paralleldetection EELS performance delivers a very powerful experimental set-up.Figure 1 shows an energy-filtered bright field image of a steel sample containing about 1 % Cu, obtained at 120 keV with the Gatan Imaging Filter (GIF) attached to a Philips CM12ST microscope.

From Buenos Aires to Tokyo, from Rio de Janeiro to Sofia, from South Africa (where Beckett did not permit his plays to be performed until apartheid was ended) to New Zealand, from Florida State University, in Tallahassee, to the University of Reading, from the Barbican Theatre, in London, to the Pompidou Center, in Paris, from Hamburg and Kassel and Zurich to Aix-en-Provence and Lille, from Saint Petersburg to Madrid to Tel Aviv, and of course most notably in Dublin, 2006 has been Beckett's year. Most of the festivals have included not only performances of the plays but also lectures, symposia, readings, art exhibitions, and manuscript displays. Paris Beckett 2006, for example, cosponsored by the French government and New York University's Center for French Civilization and Culture, has featured productions of Beckett's entire dramatic oeuvre, mounted in theaters large and small all over Paris, and lectures by such major figures as the novelist-theorists Philippe Sollers and Hélène Cixous, the playwrights Fernando Arrabal and Israel Horovitz, and the philosopher Alain Badiou. To round things out, in 2007 the Pompidou Center will host a major exhibition of and on Beckett's work.

Healing and therapeutic landscape design proposals are particularly suitable for medical facilities and, in general, facilities for people with health disorders, where they become a major support in difficult situations and can serve as a supplement to treatment. They do not replace medical help and different therapies, and neither do they exclude their need. However, their effects can improve and accelerate the recovery process in patients. In Slovakia, medical facilities do not often meet modern medical care requirements in terms of their technologies and equipment. For this reason, it is necessary to mainly transform hospital facilities and their exteriors in order to create the required natural foundation for patients in the form of healing and therapeutic landscape design. Using the example of the Philippe Pinel Psychiatric Hospital in Pezinok (Slovakia, Central Europe), we present a proposal for a green vegetation-scaping using the existing space, adding elements that highlight and support the therapeutic effect of the proposed space. The aim of the proposal is to create an environment that will bring positive changes for patients while serving as a relaxation space for employees.

Recent historical investigation into the rise of ‘biopolitical modernity’ in China has shed some surprising light. While it was long thought that British public health initiatives entered China via Hong Kong, the recent work of Ruth Rogaski, Philippe Chemouilli and others has established that it was actually early Japanese colonialism that played the crucial role. It was the Meiji Empire's hygiene reform projects in Taiwan and Manchuria that provided the model for Republican China. Curiously overlooked by medical historians has been one of the major early works of Japanese public health that directly inspired and guided this colonial medical enterprise. This was that of the Japanese health reformer and colonial officer, Gotō Shinpei (1857–1929), and it was undertaken in Munich as a doctoral thesis under the supervision of Max von Pettenkofer. In this article, I focus on the way in which Shinpei dealt in his thesis with the relations between centralisation and local self-administration as one of the key issues facing hygienic modernisation and colonial biopolitical control.

Ivan Ermakoff ’s Ruling Oneself Out focuses on two major instances of voluntary surrender of power in Western history: the March 1933 bill that empowered Adolf Hitler with the right to amend the Weimar Constitution and the transfer of full executive, legislative, and constitutional authority to Marshal Philippe Pétain in July 1940. The first event inaugurated the Third Reich, the other Vichy France. Much ink has been spilled over these events. But Ermakoff finds various problems with the existing accounts and advances his own theory of collective abdication in their stead. Moreover, his theory is geared to analyze all kinds of political crises and breakdowns where collective abdication plays a role—as it often does in such contexts. Ermakoff ’s theory is a formal one. It can hold for any situation in which a group confronts the possibility of collective persecution and has to decide whether to resist or abdicate. It is not confined to formally defined collectivities or to parliamentary settings: the dynamics that it reveals are independent of specific group configurations and institutional contexts.

As an invited contributor to this Festschrift honoring Alain Colmerauer, I feel compelled to give not only an account of his main research contributions, but also of my perspective on the motivations behind them. I hope that this will provide the reader with a glimpse of how a focused, tenacious, rigorous, and inventive mind like Alain's picks research problems and proceeds to solve them. The history of Prolog, the language that remains one of Alain's major accomplishments, is well documented. His paper on the ‘Birth of Prolog,’ co-authored with Philippe Roussel (Colmerauer & Roussel, 1970), is a highly recommended account of the circumstances that led to the development of Prolog. Bob Kowalski (1988) presents his views of the early history of Prolog from the automatic theorem proving perspective. Finally, my own paper on the topic (Cohen, 1988) contains material complementing Alain's and Bob's narratives. Instead of recasting already-available historical material, I have opted to present here a more personal account of Alain's contributions, acknowledging in advance the individual bias inherent in such an accounting of long-past events.

AbstractIn recent years major companies such as Philips, H&M and Google have adopted a circular economy agenda to promote sustainability. Design consultancies such as IDEO has developed and promoted a circular design guide to help companies in this endeavour. However, designing for a circular economy often require design and reconfiguration of entire value chains – making the transition towards a circular economy rather difficult. In this paper we analyse a development project from the Danish island of Bornholm to investigate how to align diverse actors across the value chain in a process of co-creating systems for a circular economy. We combine design, value chain considerations and circular economy mindsets to informing negotiations of concerns among actors in the value chain.Such strategical navigation might involve:Staging initial spaces for dialogue with central actors from the value chain and initiates a process of mapping out their concernsStaging a re-alignment space where the diverse actors can meet and interact to discuss and negotiate their concerns and their roles in the networkDesign and enactment of a number of objects to faciliate negotiations

Full textAbstract:
Recent work has suggested that the improvement in ductility when boron is added to the inherently brittle Ni3Al is caused by the segregation of boron to the grain boundaries and that this seems to be associated with the presence of disordered grain boundary “phases”. In order to clarify the role of boron at Ni3Al boundaries at the resolution of transmission electron microscopy we have developed a method for detecting concentrations as low as 0.5at% of boron in Ni3Al using parallel energy loss spectroscopy.Specimens of Ni-24at%Al with and without 0.5at% B were electropolished in a 20% perchloric acid/ethanol solution and examined at 120 kV in a Philips 420T electron microscope equipped with a Gatan parallel energy loss spectrometer. Figure la shows part of the loss spectrum from the Ni3Al-0.5%B matrix after background subtraction. Provided a high enough count rate can be obtained, the major problem for detecting small edges in energy loss spectra is channel to channel variations in the gain, which for figure la produce a noise level (2σ) of ~0.3%.

Full textAbstract:
The Dominican John of Paris (d. 1306) wrote a tract De potestate regia et papali which would later influence fifteenth-century conciliarists and seventeenth-century republicans. But the manuscript tradition shows no widespread diffusion of the work in its own times, and, according to Leclercq, the Depotestate does not figure amongst the works attributed to John of Paris in ancient Dominican catalogues of Dominican authors. It has long been thought that it should be dated c. 13023 as a contribution to the debate between Boniface VIII and Philip the Fair of France. John has been judged a major advocate of the royal position and his treatise has been taken to be a principal literary weapon in Philip’s arsenal against the Pope. It has also been judged by many to be a single-issue treatise of great coherence.

The properties of biological systems are often governed by variations in the distribution of trace (0.01-0.1%) constituents. The importance of calcium ions for differentiation and proliferation of keratinocytes in vitro is well known. The situation in vivo warrants study. A major contribution to that study involves the determination of calcium ion distribution in the stratified layers of the epidermis. We describe here the first study to localize and verify calcium distribution in chemically fixed porcine skin using EELS.Freshly dissected porcine skin is processed according to Menon and Elias. Briefly, tissue fixed in a buffer containing 90 mM potassium oxalate and formaldehyde/glutaraldehyde is post fixed in 1% osmium tetroxide containing 2% potassium pyroantimonate. Control specimens are prepared without pyroantimonate treatment. Tissue dried in a graded series of acetone is embedded in Spurr resin and 30-40 nm sections are cut. Stained and unstained sections are examined using a Philips CM 20 FEG TEM equipped with parallel electron energy loss spectrometer (Gatan EELS) and a spectrum imaging system (EMiSpec). The microscope is used in STEM mode for the EELS work and second difference spectra are acquired.

Full textAbstract:
Irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) of stainless steels has been attributed in part to radiation-induced segregation (RIS) of both major alloying and impurity elements at grain boundaries. There are phenomenological similarities observed between IASCC and intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) of thermally-sensitized stainless steels. One concern for both IGSCC and IASCC is the localized loss of corrosion resistance associated with chromium depletion at grain boundaries. In order to avoid complications related to the long-term, induced radioactivity of neutron-irradiated specimens, four type 304L alloys were irradiated to 1 dpa (displacements per atom) with 3.4 MeV protons at 400°C. Both analytical electron microscopy (AEM) in a Philips EM400T/FEG and Auger electron spectrometry (AES) in a Perkin Elmer (PHI) 660 were employed to measure composition at or near grain boundaries in unirradiated and irradiated specimens of four controlled purity alloys [ultra-high purity (UHP), UHP+S (0.03 at.%), UHP+P (0.08 at.%), and UHP+Si (0.87 at.%)]. A sufficient number of boundaries were analyzed via AEM and AES to result in the standard deviation of the mean boundary composition of less than -0.5 at.%. Further experimental details are presented elsewhere.

The identification of extraneous phases is important in understanding of high Tc superconducting oxides. The spectroscopic techniques commonly used in determining the origin of superconductivity (such as RAMAN, XPS, AES, and EXAFS) are surface-sensitive. Hence a grain boundary phase several nanometers thick could produce irrelevant spectroscopic results and cause erroneous conclusions. The intergranular phases present a major technological consideration for practical applications. In this communication we report the identification of a Cu2O grain boundary phase which forms during the sintering of YBa2Cu3O7-x (1:2:3 compound).Samples are prepared using a mixture of Y2O3. CuO, and BaO2 powders dispersed in ethanol for complete mixing. The pellets pressed at 20,000 psi are heated to 950°C at a rate of 5°C per min, held for 1 hr, and cooled at 1°C per min to room temperature. The samples show a Tc of 91K with a transition width of 2K. In order to prevent damage, a low temperature stage is used in milling to prepare thin foils which are then observed, using a liquid nitrogen holder, in a Philips 430T at 300 kV.
