(2479) Proposal to conserve the name Marattia kaulfussii (Eupodium kaulfussii) against M. raddiana (Marattiaceae)

Proposal to conserve the name Marattia kaulfussii (Eupodium kaulfussii)against M. raddiana (Marattiaceae). Unless this proposal is accepted, the epithet raddiana will need to be combined under Eupodium and this will become the correctname of what is universally known as E. kaulfussii. Conservation of M. kaulfussii against M. raddiana is therefore seen as the best solution in the interest of nomenclatural stability.Fil: Arana, Marcelo Daniel. Universidad Nacional de Río Cuarto.

Cues and Deterrents to Smoking: A Comparison of Different Types of Smokers

Objective. It was the purpose of this study to determine if different types of smokers, as defined by their smoking frequency and behavior in the presence of others or alone, indicate different cues and deterrents to cigarette smoking. Smoker types included daily smokers and occasional smokers, with who subgroups of occasional smokers including Social smokers and chipper smokers. Methodology. A sample of 824 college students completed a cross-sectional survey regarding their smoking behaviors in the past 30 days, beliefs regarding health consequences and bystander intervention, and reasons and locations where they smoked and or refrained from smoking in the past 30 days. Results. Twenty one daily smokers (15.9%), 93 Social smokers (70.5%), and 17 chipper smokers (12.9%) reported significant differences in cues and deterrents between daily and occasional smokers and chipper and Social smokers. Daily smokers were significantly more likely than occasional smokers to report smoking in solitary locations (

Household Wellbeing and Health in Two Types of Welfare Regimes: A Comparison of (Lower -) Middle Income Households in Chile and Costa Rica

Chile and Costa Rica’s health care systems fare well regarding health indicators. They vary corresponding to their welfare regimes: liberal-informal and social-democratic-informal. We compare how households in precarious prosperity, which are particularly dependent on institutional arrangements, deal with health. We ask: to what extent do health care systems, visible in household strategies, affect wellbeing; do health problems spill over to other life domains? Data consist of qualitative interviews with the same households in 2008, 2009 and 2013 in Chile and Costa Rica. In Chile households were worried about health and how to pay for it and other life domains were affected. In Costa Rica, the national health system limited the consequences of health problems into other life domains. The households’ experience of health systems offers fresh avenues for health policy-making.Chiles und Costa Ricas Gesundheitssystem sind vergleichbar bezüglich verschiedener Gesundheitsindikatoren der Bevölkerung. Sie variieren gemäss der Wohlfahrtsregime: liberal-informell und sozialdemokratisch-informell. Wir vergleichen, wie Haushalte in prekärem Wohlstand, die besonders auf das institutionelle Arrangement angewiesen sind, mit Gesundheitsproblemen umgehen. Wir fragen: inwiefern beeinflussen Gesundheitssysteme, die in Haushaltsstrategien sichtbar werden, das Wohlbefinden des Haushalts; übertragen sich Gesundheitsprobleme in andere Lebensbereiche? Analysiert werden Daten qualitativer Interviews der Jahre 2008, 2009 und 2013 in Chile und Costa Rica. In Chile waren Haushalte über die Gesundheit und die Kosten beunruhigt; Probleme übertrugen sich in andere Lebensbereiche. In Costa Rica limitierte das Gesundheitssystem die Übertragung der Gesundheitsprobleme in andere Bereiche. Die Erfahrungen der Haushalte eröffnen neue Perspektiven für gesundheitspolitische Massnahmen

Green Security Plugin for Pervasive Computing using the HADAS toolkit

Energy is a critical resource in pervasive computing devices. However, information about energy consumption is not directly accessible through software development environments, making it difficult to reuse the knowledge provided by existing energy-consumption experimental studies. To address this limitation, this paper presents a solution to enrich Android Studio with energy consumption information. We have developed a Green Security Plugin that provides energy-aware information to developers that make use of Android Security API. This plugin has been developed taking advantage of the functionalities provided by the HADAS toolkit. HADAS is a repository of energy consuming concerns in which researchers can store the energy measures obtained during their experimental studies and developers can perform a sustainability analysis to make green design/implementation decisions.Universidad de Málaga.

Universalism in Social Policies: A Multidimensional Concept, Policy Idea or Process

This issue of Social Inclusion takes the dazzling and fuzzy term ‘universalism’ to scrutiny. The editorial introduces different usages of the term in the academic debate. It first discusses universalism as an idea, then as a process, and finally its dimensions. The articles published in this issue are situated in the debate

Fano-Liouville Spectral Signatures in Open Quantum Systems

The scattering amplitude from a set of discrete states coupled to a continuum became known as the Fano profile, characteristic for its asymmetric lineshape and originally investigated in the context of photoionization. The generality of the model, and the proliferation of engineered nanostructures with confined states gives immense success to the Fano lineshape, which is invoked whenever an asymmetric lineshape is encountered. However, many of these systems do not conform to the initial model worked out by Fano in that i) they are subject to dissipative processes and ii) the observables are not entirely analogous to the ones measured in the original photoionization experiments. In this letter, we work out the full optical response of a Fano model with dissipation. We find that the exact result for absorption, Raman, Rayleigh and fluorescence emission is a modified Fano profile where the typical lineshape has an additional Lorentzian contribution. Expressions to extract model parameters from a set of relevant observables are given.Comment: corrected typo
