The result is that ethical committees in developing countries are required to adhere to standards that might impose practices that conflict with local culture and unintended interpretations of ethics, treatments, and research. This paper presents a case example of a joint international research project that successfully established inclusive ethical review processes as well as other groundwork and components necessary for the conduct of human behavior research and research capacity building in the host country. [source] THE J CURVE: CHINA VERSUS HER TRADING PARTNERSBULLETIN OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH, Issue 4 2006Mohsen Bahmani-Oskooee F31 ABSTRACT The short-run effects of currency depreciation are said to be different from its long-run effects. In the short run, the trade balance deteriorates and improvement comes after some time; hence, the J-curve phenomenon. Previous studies that tested the response of the trade balance to exchange rate changes in China employed aggregate trade data and provided mixed results. Indeed, most of them concluded that real depreciation has no long-run impact on the Chinese trade balance. In this paper, we disaggregate the data by country and using recent advances in time series modelling estimate a trade balance model between China and her 13 major trading partners. We show that real depreciation of the Chinese currency has a favourable impact on her trade balance with a few partners, especially the USA. Not much support is found for the J-curve hypothesis. [source] Sociopolitical Activist or Conversational Partner?FAMILY PROCESS, Issue 1 2003Collaborative Therapies, Distinguishing the Position of the Therapist in Narrative In this article, we explore the similarities and differences of two contemporary family therapy approaches: narrative and collaborative therapies. These therapies are contrasted by describing positioning of the narrative practitioner as sociopolitical activist and the collaborative practitioner as conversational partner. The article begins with a brief overview of the two therapies. Subsequently, we outline their epistemological genealogies and the practice similarities that arise from the theoretical assumptions underpinning these therapies. The remainder of the article addresses the theoretical and therapeutic differences in narrative and collaborative approaches reflected in the positioning of therapist as either sociopolitical activist or conversational partner. While narrative and collaborative approaches share more similarities than differences in relation to their emphasis on the constitutive characteristics of language, focus on socio,elational contexts, and critique of singular objective truths, prominence is given to the starker contrasts in narrative and collaborative understandings of politics, power, dialogue, and discourse. It is proposed that by outlining some provocative contrasts between narrative and collaborative approaches, new conversations and generative practices will emerge in the therapy room. [source] Involvement of the MP1 scaffold protein in ERK signaling regulation during Drosophila wing developmentGENES TO CELLS, Issue 11 2008Emmanuèle Mouchel-Vielh Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are evolutionary conserved transduction pathways involved in many cellular processes. Kinase modules are associated with scaffold proteins that regulate signaling by providing critical spatial and temporal specificities. Some of these scaffold proteins have been shown to be conserved, both in sequence and function. In mouse, the scaffold MP1 (MEK Partner 1) forms a signaling complex with MEK1 and ERK1. In this work, we focus on Drosophila MP1 (dMP1). We show that dMP1 is expressed ubiquitously during embryonic and larval development. By in vitro and in vivo experiments, we show that dMP1 is located in the cytoplasm and the nuclei, and that it interacts with MEK and ERK. Genetic studies with transgenic Drosophila lines allowing either dMP1 over-expression or dMP1 down-regulation by RNA interference highlight dMP1 function in the control of cell differentiation during development of the Drosophila wing. [source] Nocturnal Home Hemodialysis: Focus on the PartnerHEMODIALYSIS INTERNATIONAL, Issue 1 2003H Vos Background. Nocturnal home hemodialysis (NHD, 6 times weekly 6,8 hours) results in a better clinical and psychosocial condition of dialysis patients. However, this intensive therapy has important consequences for partners, who bear at least some responsibilities during the treatment. Methods. Since December 2001, we included 15 patients in a Dutch NHD project (,Nocturne'). All patients are assisted by their spouses. An aim of Nocturne is to study the effects of NHD on partners and other family members with questionnaires and interviews by a social worker. Results. NHD affects daily life of partners much more than conventional therapies. Partners feel very involved with the treatment. The invasion of the treatment in bed, the noise and light produced by the machine, the daily assisting of the patient, less freedom, and co-responsibility for the treatment are felt as a burden, specially during the first months of the treatment. However, the improved clinical condition of their spouse, resulting in less fatigue, less disability, less uremic symptoms, less complications, more attention for and contribution to family life, better quality of life and better mood are considered major improvements, with important positive effects for the quality of life of all family members. Additionally, partners consider the fact that they make an important positive contribution to their spouse's health valuable. All partners judged NHD, despite some negative consequences, as a major improvement of their life. Conclusion. The positive effects of NHD are more important than the negative consequences for partners of patients. However, partners need active support by nurses or social workers, specially during the first months of the treatment.

Ehrenfeld [source] Body Weight and Matching With a Physically Attractive Romantic PartnerJOURNAL OF MARRIAGE AND FAMILY, Issue 5 2008Julie H. Carmalt Matching and attribute trade are two perspectives used to explain mate selection. We investigated patterns of matching and trade, focusing on obesity, using Add Health Romantic Pair data (N = 1,405 couples). Obese individuals, relative to healthy weight individuals, were less likely to have physically attractive partners, with this disadvantage greater for women than men, and greater for White women than Black women. Additional education, a more attractive personality, and better grooming increased the probability of having a physically attractive partner and offset the disadvantage of obesity for some individuals. Unexpectedly, we found women, like men, trade education for their partners' physical attractiveness. Despite evidence of attribute trade, matching with respect to physical characteristics was the dominant mate selection pattern. [source] Intimate Partner and General Aggression Perpetration Among Combat Veterans Presenting to a Posttraumatic Stress Disorder ClinicAMERICAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPSYCHIATRY, Issue 4 2009Casey T. Taft PhD This study examined rates and correlates of intimate partner and general aggression perpetration among 236 male combat veterans seeking services in a Veteran's Affairs posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) clinic. Approximately 33% of those in an intimate relationship reported perpetrating partner physical aggression in the previous year, and 91% reported partner psychological aggression. Comparable rates were found for general aggression perpetration among partnered and nonpartnered veterans. PTSD symptoms as well as symptoms of depression were associated with aggression across subgroups and forms of aggression, and PTSD symptoms reflecting arousal and lack of control were generally the strongest predictor of aggression. Findings indicate a need for additional aggression screening and intervention development for this population, and highlight the targeting of heightened arousal and lack of behavioral control in aggression interventions.

Der Wettbewerb für den Neubau der neuen Verwaltungsgebäude der Deutschen Lufthansa AG in Frankfurt am Main wurde im Jahre 1999 ausgelobt. Aufgrund der exponierten Lage des Baugrunds, angrenzend an die BAB A3 und das Flughafengelände, war es dem Bauherrn wichtig, dem Gebäude einen hohen Wiedererkennungswert zu geben. Der siegreiche Entwurf, der aus einer Zusammenarbeit zwischen dem Architekten Christoph Ingenhoven (Ingenhoven und Partner), dem Tragwerksplaner Werner Sobek (Werner Sobek Ingenieure) und dem Klimatechniker Klaus Daniels (HL-Technik) entstand, zeichnet sich durch seine Klarheit und Transparenz aus. Er sieht mehrere miteinander verbundene Module vor, die sukzessive ausgebaut werden können. In einem ersten Bauabschnitt entstehen in einer kammartigen Gebäudestruktur zehn Gebäudefinger mit dazwischen liegenden Atrien. Der Bericht beschreibt die tragende Konstruktion der Stahlbetondachschalen im Zusammenspiel mit den Glas-Stahl-Schalen im Überblick. Nach Fertigstellung des Komplexes soll eine ausführliche Berichterstattung zum Gebäude, insbesondere zur Schalenkonstruktion, folgen.

[source] What Factors in Early Pregnancy Indicate that the Mother Will Be Hit by Her Partner during the Year after Childbirth?BIRTH, Issue 2 2004A Nationwide Swedish Survey The purpose of this study was to document the prevalence and indicators in early pregnancy of a woman being hit by her partner during the year after childbirth. Method: Information was collected by a postal questionnaire in early pregnancy and 12 months after childbirth from the approximately 5,550 women in Sweden who visited an antenatal care clinic for the first time during one of three chosen weeks in 1999 and 2000. Results: Of the 3,266 recruited women, 2,563 returned the follow-up questionnaire. Being hit during the first year after childbirth was reported by 52 of the 2,563 (2%) women: 32 (61%) had been hit by their partner once, 12 (23%) twice, and 8 (15%) three or more times. Risk increased in women who were age 24 years or younger (3.9% had been hit), unmarried (7.1%), born in countries outside Europe (6.8%), with a partner born outside Europe (5.4%), had a low level of education (8.9%), and were unemployed (5.0%). In early pregnancy, women with back pain (4.0%), a chronic illness (4.1%), coital pain (6.1%), frequent depression-related symptoms (8.1%), stomach pain (3.8%), or a urinary tract problem (6.3%) were hit more often than others after childbirth. Conclusions: At least 2 percent of Swedish women giving birth in 2000 were hit by their partner during the year after childbirth. Using identified predictors during antenatal care may increase the likelihood of finding women at risk, thereby enhancing the possibility of interventions to prevent this crime and health hazard. [source] Who is My Partner and How Do We Dance?BRITISH JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT, Issue 3 2010Patenting Speed in US Biotechnology, Technological Collaboration In settings where patents and intellectual property provide a strong regime of appropriability, the race to be the first firm to patent a product or a process is a central feature of competition. In this context, we hypothesize that cooperative arrangements that only gain access to external knowledge contribute less to heterogeneity between firms and have a much weaker influence on patenting than alliances that transfer highly firm-specific knowledge, residing in individual and social relationships. We also hypothesize that cooperations between private firms and public organizations accelerate the rate of patenting to a higher degree than cooperations among private firms. We develop and test these ideas on the population of 839 US biotechnology firms between 1973 and 2003. We discuss the importance of our findings on the debate about the value of knowledge access versus knowledge transfer in strategic alliances.

[source] Testing the "Inverted-U" Phenomenon in Moral Development on Recently Promoted Senior Managers and Partners,CONTEMPORARY ACCOUNTING RESEARCH, Issue 2 2004RICHARD A. BERNARDI Abstract This paper examines the change in the average level of moral development over a 7.5-year period of promotion, attrition, and survival in five Big 6 firms. The study improves upon previous cross-sectional studies that found decreases in the average level of moral development at the senior manager and partner levels, which has been referred to as the "inverted-U" phenomenon. Problems with these studies that limit the generalizability of their findings include their cross-sectional nature and samples that usually come from one or two firms. Over a 7.5-year period, we found that the participating Big 6 firms retained auditors with higher average levels of moral development (measured using the defining issues test), while those with lower average levels left the firms. The average level of moral development for new partners was at least as high as the group from which they came. This research suggests that the concern about Big 6 firms retaining a higher proportion of auditors with lower moral development may be an artifact of research design. [source] Components of Relationship Quality in ChimpanzeesETHOLOGY, Issue 9 2008Orlaith N. Fraser A novel approach to studying social relationships in captive adult chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) was taken by using principal components analysis (PCA) to extract three key components of relationship quality from nine behavioural variables. Based on the loadings of the behavioural variables, the components appeared to match previously hypothesized critical aspects of social relationships and were therefore labelled Value, Compatibility and Security. The effects of kinship, sex combination, age difference and time spent together on each of the relationship quality components were analysed. As expected, kin were found to have more valuable, compatible and secure relationships than non-kin. Female,female dyads were found to be more compatible than male,male or mixed-sex dyads, whereas the latter were found to be most secure. Partners of a similar age were found to have more secure and more valuable relationships than those with a larger age gap. Individuals that were together in the group for longer were more valuable and more compatible, but their relationships were found to be less secure than individuals that were together in the group for a shorter time. Although some of the results may be unexpected based on chimpanzee socio-ecology, they fit well overall with the history and social dynamics of the study group. The methods used confer a significant advantage in producing quantitative composite measures of each component of relationship quality, obtained in an objective manner. These findings therefore promote the use of such measures in future studies requiring an assessment of the qualities of dyadic social relationships. [source] Memory of Social Partners in Hermit Crab DominanceETHOLOGY, Issue 3 2005Francesca Gherardi We investigated the possibility that invertebrates recognize conspecific individuals by studying dominance relationships in the long-clawed hermit crab, Pagurus longicarpus. We conducted three sets of laboratory experiments to define the time limits for acquiring and maintaining memory of an individual opponent. The results reveal two characteristics that make individual recognition in this species different from standard associative learning tasks. Firstly, crabs do not require training over many repeated trials; rather, they show evidence of recognition after a single 30-min exposure to a stimulus animal. Secondly, memory lasts for up to 4 d of isolation without reinforcement. A third interesting feature of individual recognition in this species is that familiar opponents are recognized even before the formation of a stable hierarchical rank. That is, recognition seems to be relatively independent of repeated wins (rewards) or losses (punishments) in a dominance hierarchy. The experimental protocol allowed us to show that this species is able to classify conspecifics into two ,heterogeneous subgroups', i.e. familiar vs. unfamiliar individuals, but not to discriminate one individual of a group from every other conspecific from ,a unique set of cues defining that individual'. In other words, we demonstrated a ,binary', and not a ,true', individual recognition. However, 1 d of interactions with different crabs did not erase the memory of a former rival, suggesting that P. longicarpus uses a system of social partner discrimination more refined than previously shown. [source] Conversation Orientation and Cognitive Processes: A Comparison of U.S. Students in Initial Interaction With Native- Versus Nonnative-Speaking PartnersHUMAN COMMUNICATION RESEARCH, Issue 2 2003Ling Chen The present study compares thought patterns, perceptions of interaction (perceived interaction smoothness and interaction involvement), and conversation orientation of U.S. students (N = 60) in dyadic interaction with a partner who is either another American or a non-American nonnative speaker of English. As hypothesized, U.S. participants with nonnative-speaking partners perceived interaction as more difficult, or less smooth, than did their counterparts with native-speaking partners. U.S. participants with nonnative-speaking partners also displayed different thought patterns, having more thoughts showing confusion, as well as more thoughts focused on the partner and less on the content of the ongoing conversation, than those with fellow native-speaking partners. U.S. participants with a nonnative-speaking partner also exhibited a different conversation orientation pattern, focusing more on understanding of the other's message, less on clarifying their own message, and less on displaying their own involvement. Specific thought categories and perceived interaction smoothness were correlated with conversation orientation indices for participants in interactions between native and nonnative speakers. Finally, interaction involvement was found to contribute most to variation in perceived interaction smoothness for both U.S. and non-U.S. participants in interactions between native and nonnative speakers. Implications of the findings are discussed. [source] Home Bias in Leveraged Buyouts,INTERNATIONAL FINANCE, Issue 3 2009Peter Cornelius In this paper, we examine cross-border investments in 2,260 portfolio companies by 102 buyout funds raised between 1995 and 2004. Using proprietary data compiled by AlpInvest Partners, we calculate the aggregate home bias of these funds as well as their home bias at the fund level. We find significant variation across funds. While UK-based funds are on average least home-biased, they show a high degree of intra-European bias. In comparison, US funds are found to be least home-biased in terms of inter-regional acquisitions, with Europe being the most important destination for US buyout capital. Furthermore, we find that buyout funds tend to be less home-biased than portfolio investors and, more specifically, mutual funds. This finding is consistent with the optimal ownership theory of the home bias, which predicts that foreign direct investment , as opposed to portfolio investment , represents the preferred choice of entry in countries where the quality of governance is perceived to be inferior, promoting insider ownership. [source] An Examination of the Effects of Accountability when Auditors are Uncertain about the Views of Superior PartnersINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AUDITING, Issue 2 2001Steven E. Kaplan This experiment focused on the effect of accountability on senior audit managers' reporting decisions related to ambiguous scenarios, where the auditors could only speculate on the views of superior auditors on specific reporting issues. It examines the potential effect of accountability on the relationship between judgments an auditor would make versus the judgments the auditor perceives superior partners would make. In particular, accountable auditors were predicted to engage in a hybrid strategy of processing information with more effort and of complying more with views they perceived to be held by the superiors. Consistent with the acceptability heuristic, the results indicate that accountability is associated with greater agreement between self-judgments and judgments the auditor perceives superiors would make. However, contrary to Tetlock's (1992) theory but consistent with some prior research (Johnson and Kaplan, 1991; Hoffman and Patton, 1997), the accountability treatment did not significantly affect the auditors' processing of information. [source] Global Government Health Partners' Forum 2006: eighteen months laterINTERNATIONAL NURSING REVIEW, Issue 2 2010J. Foster rn FOSTER J., GUISINGER V., GRAHAM A., HUTCHCRAFT L. & SALMON M. (2010) Global Government Health Partners' Forum 2006: eighteen months later. International Nursing Review57, 173,179 Background:, The challenge of global health worker shortages, particularly among nurses, has been the topic of numerous forums over the last several years. Nevertheless, there has been little attention given to the roles of government chief nursing and medical officers as key partners in addressing health worker shortages. This partnership and its potential impact on the adequacy of the global health workforce was the focus of the most recent Global Government Health Partners (GGHP) Forum held in November 2006 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. This forum was uniquely designed to create a context for government chief nursing officers and chief medical officers to engage in a joint learning and planning experience focused on positioning their leadership to impact health workforce issues. Aim:, This article describes an 18-month follow-up evaluation of the outcomes of the GGHP. The purpose of the evaluation was to assess the impact of the forum experience on the actions of participants based on the country-level plans they produced at the forum. This important feedback is intended to inform the design of future partnered global forums and gain insights into the utility of forum-based action plans. The evaluation process itself has served as an opportunity for the engagement of university faculty, students and staff in a global service learning experience. Conclusion:, The outcomes of this evaluation indicate that important progress has been made by countries whose leadership was involved in the forum, and was also an important learning activity for those participating in the conduct of the study. [source] Reluctant Partners: Fighting Terrorism and Promoting Democracy in KenyaINTERNATIONAL STUDIES PERSPECTIVES, Issue 3 2008Beth Elise Whitaker Do fighting terrorism and promoting democracy go together, as policy makers suggest, or do they conflict in practice? This paper explores these dynamics in the case of Kenya, a transitional democracy that has been the victim of several terrorist attacks. Based on an examination of recent areas of cooperation and contention between the United States and Kenya, the paper argues that democratic pressures can make it difficult for newly elected governments to cooperate publicly in the "war on terror," though private cooperation often continues behind the scenes. This suggests the need for an approach among American policy makers that recognizes the domestic political constraints faced by foreign partners and seeks common ground between internal and external priorities. While the goals of promoting democracy and fighting terrorism may conflict in the short term, the development of shared democratic values could pave the way for closer partnerships in the future.
