AbstractIn this paper, we analyze the influence of the usual movement variables on the spread of an epidemic. Specifically, given two spatial topologies, we can deduce which topology produces less infected individuals. In particular, we determine the topology that minimizes the overall number of infected individuals. It is worth noting that we do not assume any of the common simplifying assumptions in network theory such as all the links have the same diffusion rate or the movement of the individuals is symmetric. Our main conclusion is that the degree of mobility of the population plays a critical role in the spread of a disease. Finally, we derive theoretical insights to management of epidemics.

To help frame their findings and discussion, the authors begin with a review of the existing published literature on user fees and other barriers to use of public access venues. At the heart of this chapter lies the findings and discussion section where they offer an analysis on how influential user fees, content availability, and venue staff are in determining ICT use in public access venues. Through this analysis, they seek to have a clearer picture of what users view as incentives and barriers to their use of ICT in public access venues. To conclude, they propose recommendations for public access venues as they move forward and seek sustainability.

T Cell Selection

The common cytokine receptor gamma chain (gammac), which is a functional subunit of the receptors for interleukins (IL)-2, -4, -7, -9, and -15, plays an important role in lymphoid development. Inactivation of this molecule in mice leads to abnormal T cell lymphopoiesis characterized by thymic hypoplasia and reduced numbers of peripheral T cells. To determine whether T cell development in the absence of gammac is associated with alterations of intrathymic and peripheral T cell selection, we have analyzed gammac-deficient mice made transgenic for the male-specific T cell receptor (TCR) HY (HY/gammac- mice). In HY/gammac- male mice, negative selection of autoreactive thymocytes was not diminished; however, peripheral T cells expressing transgenic TCR-alpha and -beta chains (TCR-alphaT/betaT) were absent, and extrathymic T cell development was completely abrogated. In HY/gammac- female mice, the expression of the transgenic TCR partially reversed the profound thymic hypoplasia observed in nontransgenic gammac- mice, generating increased numbers of thymocytes in all subsets, particularly the TCR-alphaT/betaT CD8+ single-positive thymocytes. Despite efficient positive selection, however, naive CD8+ TCR-alphaT/betaT T cells were severely reduced in the peripheral lymphoid organs of HY/gammac- female mice. These results not only underscore the indispensible role of gammac in thymocyte development, but also demonstrate the critical role of gammac in the maintenance and/or expansion of peripheral T cell pools.

Venous thromboembolism associated with COVID-19, particularly acute pulmonary embolism, may represent a challenging and complex clinical scenario. The benefits of having a multidisciplinary pulmonary embolism response team (PERT) can be important during such a pandemic. The aim of PERT in the care of such patients is to provide fast, appropriate, multidisciplinary, team-based approach, with the common goal to tailor the best therapeutic decision making, prioritizing always optimal patient care, especially given lack of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines in the setting of COVID-19, which potentially confers a significant prothrombotic state. Herein, we would like to briefly emphasize the importance and potential critical role of PERT in the care of patients in which these two devastating illnesses are present together.

With the concept of &ldquo;cohesive harmony&rdquo; at it&rsquo;s core, and by linking Confucianism&rsquo;s concept of &ldquo;Harmonization&rdquo; and Chinese medicine&rsquo;s &quot;Balancing of Yin and Yang&quot;, the Confucian physician&rsquo;s approach to medicine creates synergy between Confucianism&rsquo;s self-cultivation and Chinese Medicine&rsquo;s therapeutic nurturing.</p> <p>The summary will not only provide an overview of the argument, but will also apply the lens of the Confucian physician to critique the joint phenomena of commercialization and excessive treatment found in modern medicine today.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

Theoretical Foundations

In ‘Psychotherapy, Placebos and Informed Consent’, I argued that the minimal standard for informed consent in psychotherapy requires that ‘patients understand that there is currently no consensus about the mechanisms of change in psychotherapy, and that the therapy on offer…is based on disputed theoretical foundations’, and that the dissemination of this information is compatible with the delivery of many theory-specific forms of psychotherapy (including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)). I also argued that the minimal requirements for informed consent do not include information about the role of therapeutic common factors in healing (eg, expectancy effects and therapist effects); practitioners may discuss the common factors with patients, but they are not part of the ‘core set’ of information necessary to obtain informed consent.In a recent reply, Charlotte Blease criticises these two arguments by claiming they are not supported by empirical findings about the therapeutic common factors. Blease’s response is based on serious misunderstandings of both CBT and what the common factor findings actually find. Nevertheless, addressing the reasons for these misunderstandings is instructive and gives us an opportunity to clarify what, exactly, needs to be explained to patients in order to obtain informed consent for psychotherapy.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to provide a critical assessment of the literature on business incubation effectiveness and second, to submit a situated theoretical perspective on how business incubation management can provide an environment that supports the development of incubatee entrepreneurs and their businesses. Design/methodology/approach – The paper provides a narrative critical assessment of the literature on business incubation effectiveness. Definitional issues, performance aspects and approaches to establishing critical success factors in business incubation are discussed. Business incubation management is identified as an overarching factor for theorising on business incubation effectiveness. Findings – The literature on business incubation effectiveness suffers from several deficiencies, including definitional incongruence, descriptive accounts, fragmentation and lack of strong conceptual grounding. Notwithstanding the growth of research on this domain, understanding of how entrepreneurs and their businesses develop within the business incubator environment remains limited. Given the importance of relational, intangible factors in business incubation and the critical role of business incubation management in orchestrating and optimising such factors, it is suggested that theorising efforts would benefit from a situated perspective. Originality/value – The identification of specific shortcomings in the literature on business incubation highlights the need for more systematic efforts towards theory building. It is suggested that focusing on the role of business incubation management from a situated learning theory perspective can lend itself to a more profound understanding of the development process of incubatee entrepreneurs and their firms. Theoretical propositions are offered to this effect, as well as avenues for future research.

Advertising in mobile apps has recently become one of the most popular advertising channels for businesses when its annual revenue has rapidly increased year over year. On this kind of advertising, the app publishers do not only play a critical role in the ad serving process but also receive a significant portion of the advertising revenue. Their goal of maximizing the revenue sometimes contradict with those of the advertisers. This research conceptualises the role of publishers and proposes an integrated effectiveness framework to further improve the effectiveness of mobile in-app advertising not for one but all participants involved. In specific, this research explores the factors being controlled by publishers and evaluates their impact on the common outcome metric of mobile in-app advertising. An application of the proposed effectiveness framework might help to increase the global mobile in-app advertising revenue significantly higher by balancing the benefits of all participants.
