The aim of this study is to increase evidence-based interventions by investigating the feasibility of an intervention using an interactive digital calendar with mobile phone reminders (RemindMe) as support in everyday life. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected from participating patients (n = 8) and occupational therapists (n = 7) from three rehabilitation clinics in Sweden. The intervention consisted of delivering the interactive digital calendar RemindMe, receiving an individualized introduction, a written manual, and individual weekly conversations for two months with follow-up assessments after two and four months. Feasibility areas of acceptability, demand, implementation, practicality, and integration were examined. Patients expressed their interest and intention to use RemindMe and reported a need for reminders and individualized support. By using reminders in activities in everyday life their autonomy was supported. The study also demonstrated the importance of confirming reminders and the possible role of habit-forming. Occupational therapists perceived the intervention to be useful at the rehabilitation clinics and the weekly support conversations enabled successful implementation. This study confirmed the importance of basing and tailoring the intervention to patients’ needs and thus being person-centered.

The Impact

Prospective adopters commonly share materials such as photographs of their family, ‘talking’ albums, DVDs, toys and blankets with their child prior to meeting them. This is often the first point of ‘introduction’ of the adoptive family to their child. The sharing of materials is also one of the earliest tasks in which foster carers and prospective adopters work together. This study investigates adopters’ experiences of sharing materials in the wider context of working with foster carers during these initial parent–child ‘introductions’. Thematic analysis of 24 interviews conducted with adoptive parents revealed three main themes: collaboration, familiarisation and connection. Further qualitative and quantitative data were subsequently gathered and analysed from surveys completed by 64 adoptive parents. Findings highlight the central role of the foster carer in preparing a child for a move to adoption, and the potential impact that the grief and loss experienced by a foster carer may have on this move. They also suggest that the sharing of materials could be an early indicator of a foster carer’s capacity to support a child’s transition to life with their adoptive family. Adopters’ perceptions of the impact of the materials, both at the time of introductions and their ongoing significance several years after placement, are explored.

Several areas reflect the traditional wisdom of Sri Lanka. This knowledge is of two parts as tactile and intangible cognition. Shantikarma and its associated rituals have a special place in intangible knowledge. Humans rely on various supernatural forces to prevent them from suffering and suffering. The medium used to obtain the help of those forces is called Shanti Karma. Several areas reflect the traditional wisdom of Sri Lanka. This knowledge is of two parts as tactile and intangible cognition. Shantikarma and its associated rituals have a special place in intangible knowledge. Humans rely on various supernatural forces to prevent them from suffering and suffering. The medium used to obtain the help of those forces is called Shanti Karma. The research problem was how Shanti Karma is used as an art of healing. The methodology involved in this research was Qualitative and Quantitative. Data were gathered using primary and secondary evidence in-depth interviews. A sample of about 20 yakaduras from Palatuwa, Godagama in Matara District, Habaraduwa and, Ahangama in Galle District was selected for the field study. The secondary evidence was the substance yielded from the published sources. Today, there is a decline in the use of peace rituals in Sri Lanka. The decline in the number of people willing to engage in this, the emergence of a new generation after the decline of traditional artisans, and the need to pay a high price for peacemaking, etc., have contributed to this decline.

This paper is aimed to investigate the role of street vending to support public life in the urban street. The study took place in three shop houses corridors in Medan, i.e., Asia, Kapten Muslim, and Ring Road Corridor. The research used the descriptive-exploratory method that collected qualitative and quantitative data. The exploration found that the street vending spots became the only place for social interaction, but not so intensive. The study pointed out to accommodate the street vending in a particular space of the corridor, in line with the re-arrangement of the whole area of the street to be a more human-friendly public space.Keywords: street vending; urban street; public life; MedaneISSN: 2398-4287© 2019.

Dieser Artikel diskutiert die Ergebnisse einer Forschungsarbeit, die sich mit dem Einfluss und der Rolle des Mittelmanagements bei Kulturveränderungsprozessen beschäftigt. Im Rahmen einer Aktionsforschungsstrategie wurde ein mittelständisches Unternehmen begleitet, das sich in einem radikalen Veränderungsprozess befand. Viele Veränderungen in Organisationen scheitern, da u.a. die Organisationskultur nicht genügend berücksichtigt wird. Für einen echten Kulturwandel werden ca. sieben Jahre als erforderlich betrachtet. Das Top-Management hat für den Erfolg von Kulturveränderungen eine herausragende Bedeutung. Über das Mittelmanagement ist wenig bekannt. In der Firma war u.a. auch eine tiefgreifende kulturelle Veränderung erforderlich. Die Datenerhebung erfolgte qualitativ und quantitativ. Die Ergebnisse weisen deutlich darauf hin, dass eine echte Kulturveränderung in einer Zeitspanne von zwei Jahren durchgeführt werden kann. Dabei spielt das mittlere Management eine bedeutende Rolle und wirkt wie ein Katalysator. Die Forschungsergebnisse sind in ein Modell zu Kulturveränderung eingeflossen. This article discusses results of research exploring the influence and role of middle management during organisational culture change. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected from a medium-sized organisation undergoing a radical change process. Previous research has highlighted the time required for such cultural change, a period of seven years often being considered realistic. However, the role of middle management has rarely been considered. Findings indicate that middle management are an important influencing factor within cultural change adopting a range of roles andhelping cultural change to be realised within a far shorter time.

Over Time

How can we explain variation in the volume and character of transnational collective action on climate change? This paper presents original qualitative and quantitative data to document how transnational activism on climate change has changed over time. The author draws attention to the role of transnational social movement spillover—a process by which ideas, activists, and tactics are diffused from one movement to another—in explaining this evolution. The article examines the spillover of the global justice movement to the climate justice movement from 2007 to 2009, linking this spillover to changes in the nature of activism. In contrast to previous approaches, this work shows that transnational social movement spillover can result in the expansion of contention without radicalizing those actors already involved. This case demonstrates the theoretical importance of the spillover process and offers lessons for future climate activism.

Embryo Sac Formation

Most eukaryotic species propagate through sexual reproduction that requires male and female gametes. In flowering plants, it starts through a single round of DNA replication (S phase) and two consecutive chromosome segregation (meiosis I and II). Subsequently, haploid mitotic divisions occur, which results in a male gametophyte (pollen grain) and a female gametophyte (embryo sac) formation. In order to obtain viable gametophytes, accurate chromosome segregation is crucial to ensure ploidy stability. A precise gametogenesis progression is tightly regulated in plants and is controlled by multiple mechanisms to guarantee a correct evolution through meiotic cell division and sexual differentiation. In the past years, research in the field has shown an important role of the conserved E3-ubiquitin ligase complex, Anaphase-Promoting Complex/Cyclosome (APC/C), in this process. The APC/C is a multi-subunit complex that targets proteins for degradation via proteasome 26S. The functional characterization of APC/C subunits in Arabidopsis, which is one of the main E3 ubiquitin ligase that controls cell cycle, has revealed that all subunits investigated so far are essential for gametophytic development and/or embryogenesis.
