Professionalism, golf coaching and a master of science degree
No full textA distinction can be made between 'professionalisation', which is concerned with occupational status and standing, and 'professionalism,' which refers to matters of quality and standards of practice (especially specialized knowledge, ethics and altruism). The purpose of this stimulus article is to present key features of contemporary medical professionalism as a basis for critically reflecting on discourse associated with Tiger Woods' current coach, Sean Foley. It is suggested that that provision of a Master of Science degree in golf teaching/coaching would facilitate the development of 'professionalism' in golf coaches
Factorial characters of the classical Lie groups
No full textJust as the definition of factorial Schur functions as a ratio of determinants allows one to show that they satisfy a Jacobi–Trudi-type identity and have an explicit combinatorial realisation in terms of semistandard tableaux, so we offer here definitions of factorial irreducible characters of the classical Lie groups as ratios of determinants that share these two features. These factorial characters are each specified by a partition, λ=(λ1,λ2,…,λn), and in each case a flagged Jacobi–Trudi identity is derived that expresses the factorial character as a determinant of corresponding factorial characters specified by one-part partitions, (m), for which we supply generating functions. These identities are established by manipulating determinants through the use of certain recurrence relations derived from these generating functions. The transitions to combinatorial realisations of the factorial characters in terms of tableaux are then established by means of non-intersecting lattice path models. The results apply to gl(n), so(2n+1), sp(2n) and o(2n), and are extended to the case of so(2n) by making use of newly defined factorial difference characters.</p
Sesaspis ashei Foley and Ivie 2008, NEW SPECIES
No full textSesaspis ashei Foley and Ivie NEW SPECIES Fig. 18 Diagnosis: This species is closely related to S. doyeni, but can be distinguished from that species by the weakly serrate lateral elytral margin of the declivity, the weak elytral ridge in the 3 rd rather than 5 th interval, shallow dorsal elytral depressions medio-laterally, and a noticeably thicker body – visually the epipleuron is wider than the metepisternum for nearly the entire length. DESCRIPTION (male): Length 17.5–22.5 mm. Black to dark brown; in natural state covered in greasy exudate and environmental debris; cleaned specimens have the cuticle uniformly dark red to black. Dorsal vestiture of very short bristle-like setae slightly expanded, secondary vestiture of short golden setae. Anterior clypeal margin weakly concave. Antennomere 3 approximately 1.25 X longer than 4; antennomeres 1–6 with short dense golden setae on apical margin. Labium with thin fringe of setae. Pronotum with weak arcuate lateral ridges; lateral margin smooth; hind angles obtusely rounded. Elytral sculpture with weak elevation running nearly entire length in interval 3, slightly more elevated at start of declivity; lateral margin of declivity weakly serrate. Femoral nodules large and distinct on all femora. Ventrites 1–3 flattened medially. Parameres emarginate at apex, sides not strongly projecting forward. Distribution: Known only from the Mexican states of Hidalgo and Puebla. Types: HOLOTYPE: ♂, MEXICO: Hidalgo; 4.4 km N Tlanchinol; Hwy. 105, 8 July 1992; 1420 m, J. S.

ETYMOLOGY: This species is named in honor of our friend and colleague, the late Dr. James Stephen “Steve” Ashe, who was the collector of the holotype and a significant number of other Central American Zopherini. Notes: This species is probably the sister species to S. doyeni which is restricted to higher elevations of Nuevo León. The two species are restricted to sky islands in the Sierra Madre Oriental, and are divided by a considerable distance of unsuitable habitat. No biological information is present on the label data. Sesaspis doyeni, the most closely related species, has been reported under the loose bark of dead pine trees (Pinus sp. ) (García-París et al. 2001), and this species probably inhabits a similar high elevation pine-oak forest ecosystem.Published as part of Foley, Ian A. & Ivie, Michael A., 2008, A phylogenetic analysis of the tribe Zopherini with a review of the species and generic classification (Coleoptera: Zopheridae), pp. 1-72 in Zootaxa 1928 (1) on page 35, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.1928.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/523072

Edgeworth and Lindahl-Foley equilibria of a general equilibrium model with private provision of pure public goods
No full textIn this paper, we propose a definition of Edgeworth equilibrium for a private ownership production economy with (possibly infinitely) many private goods and a finite number of pure public goods. We show that Edgeworth equilibria exist whatever be the dimension of the private goods space, and can be decentralized, in the finite and infinite dimensional cases, as Lindahl-Foley equilibria. Existence theorems for Lindahl-Foley equilibria are a by-product of our results.production economy; public goods; Edgworth equilibrium; Lindahl-Foley equilibrium; proper economy
Informetrics on M. N. Srinivas
No full textM. N. Srinivas, the well known sociologist is widely recognised as architect of modern Indian sociology and social anthropology. His publications have been analysed by year, domain, authorship pattern, channels of communication used. Keywords, etc. The results indicate that the papers published by him are of a nature that qualify him to be a 'role model' for the younger generations to emulate.
By the end of 1995, Srinivas had to his credit 144 papers which, included 33 broad papers in sociology and anthropology; 18 papers in social change; 28 papers in village studies; 12 papers on religion; 17 papers on caste and 36 papers of general popular interest. The periods 1958-61 and 1974-77, when Srinivas was 38-41 and 58-61 years old. were his most productive periods with highest publication activity
Increased single-balloon Foley catheter volume for induction of labor and time to delivery: A systematic review and meta-analysis
No full textINTRODUCTION:
Induction of labor is a common intervention. The objective was to investigate whether larger Foley catheter volumes for labor induction decrease the total time from induction to delivery.
MATERIAL AND METHODS:
Randomized controlled trials comparing larger single-balloon volumes (60-80 mL) during Foley catheter cervical ripening with usual volume (30 mL) in women undergoing labor induction were identified by searching electronic databases (MEDLINE, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, PROSPERO, EMBASE, Scielo and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) from inception through 2017. The primary outcome was mean time from induction to delivery in hours. Secondary outcomes included time from induction to vaginal delivery, delivery within 24 h, time to Foley expulsion, cesarean section, chorioamnionitis, epidural use, hemorrhage, meconium staining, and neonatal intensive care unit admission. Meta-analysis was performed using the random effects model of DerSimonian and Laird (PROSPERO CRD42017058885).
RESULTS:
Seven randomized controlled trials including 1432 singleton gestations were included in the systematic review. Women randomized to larger volumes of balloon had a significantly shorter time from induction to delivery (mean difference 1.97 h, 95% CI -3.88 to -0.06). There was no difference in cesarean section between groups (16 vs. 18%, relative risk 0.84, 95% CI 0.6-1.17). A larger balloon volume was associated with a nonsignificant decrease in time from induction to delivery in multiparous (mean difference 2.67 h, 95% CI -6.1 to 0.76) and nulliparous women (mean difference 1.82 h, 95% CI -4.16 to 0.53).
CONCLUSION:
Balloon volumes larger than 30 mL during Foley catheter induction reduce total time to delivery by approximately 2 h
Meteorological and functional response partitioning to explain interannual variability of CO2 exchange at an Irish Atlantic blanket bog
No full textThis study aims to develop models to describe CO2fluxes in terms of environmental and meteorolog-ical variables and their variation over an Atlantic blanket bog in Glencar, southwest Ireland. Ten fullyears (September 2002–August 2012) of data were included in the assessment of CO2flux and micro-meteorological data. Models were based on non-gapfilled growing season data, using complete calendaryears for annual models, and the entire time-series for weekly models, whilst taking interaction betweenvariables into account for increased model accuracy. This was to determine which environmental vari-ables were most influential in directly controlling CO2exchange on a long- and short-term basis. Ahomogeneity of slopes (HOS) model was used to determine if there was any ecosystem response to indi-rect effects (functional response) of environmental or meteorological interannual variation. This modeluses multiple regression analysis to determine if the ecosystem response can be better predicted as alinear function of the variables using a single slope model for all years, or a separate slopes model foreach year. The separate slopes model gave a different (and improved) outcome for both daytime andnight-time CO2fluxes, and so functional responses were deemed to have occurred. The contribution tovariation of day and night-time net ecosystem exchange (NEEdayand NEEnightrespectively) was then sep-arated into four components: indirect functional responses, direct interannual meteorological variability,direct week to week meteorological variability, and random error, which identified 13.8%, 36.6%, 28.2%and 21.4% respectively of the variation in NEEday, as well as 23.4%, 24.4%, 22.2% and 30% respectively ofthe variation in NEEnight. Water table level (WTL) had the greatest influence upon functional variationof NEE at the Glencar blanket peatland, and comparisons of modelled NEEdaywith leaf area index (LAI)measurements verified the estimate of functional contribution using the separate slopes model. The sig-nificance of interannual variation (IAV) and functional responses on NEE at Glencar suggests that it is aresilient ecosystem which might be able to adapt to environmental or climatic changes, although givencurrent climate change predictions, it is likely to have a reduced carbon dioxide sink status in the futur
