Abstract:
How can the power of wholes be resisted without essentializing their parts? Drawing on different archives and methodologies, including aesthetics, history, biology, affect, race, and queer, the interventions in this volume explore different ways of troubling the consistency and stability of wholes, breaking up their closure and making them more dynamic. Doing so without necessarily presupposing or producing parts, an outside, or a teleological development, they indicate the critical potential of partiality without parts.

Full text
Abstract:
Exploration of Armenian art began in the 19th century with French, Russian, German, Finnish, Austrian and Armenian art historians, and continued into the 20th century primarily with Russian, Armenian, Ukrainian, American and Italian scholars, who brought to the attention of a large public – not only of academics –, the artistic heritage of a territory that goes beyond the borders of present-day Armenia and encompasses an area known as Subcaucasia, a term used to indicate the regions from the South Caucasus to Anatolia, Iran and Upper Mesopotamia. Interest in Armenian art, from illuminated manuscripts to khachkars and architecture, has grown in the last twenty years, a fact that provided the knowledge of these works of art with a global dimension. The book illustrates the characteristics, themes and methods of the various research paths, sprouting from different historiographical traditions. In other words, the volume intends to trace a map capable of orientating the reader among the artistic and cultural phenomena of this complex territory, thus offering different keys to understanding them and also useful insights for future scientific research.

Full text
Abstract:
While there is continued interest in measuring governance, disagreement on how best to do so has only grown over time. To provide pointers at innovative and rigorous indicator building, this chapter documents innovations in measuring a particularly challenging governance dimension: corruption in public procurement. In hopes of inspiring future research, the chapter critically reviews objective corruption proxies using administrative data on government purchases falling in four broad categories: tendering risk indicators, political connections indicators, supplier risk indicators, and contracting body risk indicators. The findings indicate that the best measurement instruments focus on the transaction level (micro level) while allowing for consistent aggregations for time series and cross-country comparisons. Such actionable indicators capture behaviour as directly as possible rather than remaining at the country level. They also retain the relational or transactional aspects of governance, revealing a much more dynamic picture than widely used population and expert surveys.

Full text
Abstract:
Mounting evidence implicates psychophysiological processes in the development of relational aggression. This review discusses the state of the field regarding associations between physiological stress systems—including the sympathetic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system, and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis—and relational aggression. The theoretical significance of these processes is discussed, and potential moderators of associations, such as functions of relational aggression, contextual risk, and gender, are considered. Finally, critical next steps in this research area, including the incorporation of additional physiological indicators, are reviewed. This research has the potential to advance our understanding of many of the significant questions in relational aggression research, such as who engages in relational aggression and why, and whether these behaviors result in negative or positive developmental outcomes.

Full text
Abstract:
The use of dressings may be indicated in the management of wounds and pressure ulcers, and is dependent on many factors, including the intended purpose of the dressing. The aetiology or cause of the wound will directly impact on the choice of dressing, as factors such as whether a pressure ulcer has undermining and requires packing to fill dead space need to be considered. Other considerations related to aetiology include whether exudates management and compression are required as is the case with venous insufficiency, or whether moisture is preferred, as is often the case with arterial ulcers. The appropriate selection of dressings for pressure ulcers can facilitate healing, although there is insufficient evidence to indicate which specific dressings are the most effective. This chapter reviews important considerations in the use of dressings for wounds and pressure ulcers. In managing the critically-ill patient, knowledge of the indications for use of currently available wound care products and dressings is important for critical care clinicians and consultation with a wound care specialist is recommended.

Full text
Abstract:
The demand for critical care is on the rise and is expected to grow significantly in coming decades. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a relevant outcome measure for patients recovering from critical illness. This chapter addresses several key questions about HRQoL, namely: Why measure HRQoL in critically ill patients? What do we mean with HRQoL? Which HRQoL instruments are being used? How to estimate HRQoL before ICU admission, and what is the impact of critical illness on HRQoL, particularly in the elderly? This chapter also addresses the phenomenon of response shift in survivors of critical illness related to their perceived HRQoL. It is argued that HRQoL measures for physical and psychological factors, functional status, and social interactions should be incorporated as standard quality indicators of ICU performance. These measurements will provide further insight on long-term post-ICU recovery and might be used to evaluate and track the utility of follow-up clinics after hospital discharge.

Full text
Abstract:
Oxygen therapy is primarily administered to alleviate arterial hypoxaemia and tissue hypoxia, and to facilitate aerobic cellular respiration. Hypoxaemia (PaO2 < 8 kPa [60 mmHg], SaO2 <92%) is associated with end-organ damage and adverse clinical outcomes, serving as a proxy measure for reduced intracellular PO2. Increasing the fraction of inspired oxygen should form part of an overall strategy to maximize tissue oxygen delivery. Permissive hypoxaemia represents a valid treatment strategy in a selected patient cohort. Oxygen is a drug and oxygen therapy is not benign, and oxygen administration at high, sustained doses (FiO2 >0.5, >12 hours) may cause oxygen toxicity. Observational studies in both mechanically-ventilated patients and survivors of non-traumatic cardiac arrest indicate an independent association between increasing hyperoxaemia and mortality. Oxygen therapy may additionally precipitate hypercapnic ventilatory failure in those at risk and oxygen should be administered to achieve a prescribed target SaO2 or PaO2 range, via adjustment of dose and delivery device. If no monitoring is available, hypoxaemia should be avoided by giving high-flow oxygen to achieve a FiO2 of near 1.0 with subsequent titration once oxygenation status is established.

Abstract:
Women play a key role in nature conservation, yet they often lack the inputs, technologies, training and extension services, and various enablers and linkages that can enhance the effectiveness of their efforts. Evidence indicates that gender-inclusive and gender-sensitive conservation practices have far-reaching multiplier impacts. This report includes four research articles and four research reports that bring out gender-specific knowledge for ecosystem management in mountain regions. Insights are collated from India, Italy, Mexico, Nepal, and the Togo-Ghana Highlands. The chapters capture diverse approaches to nature stewardship examined through a gender lens at the regional, national and sub-national level

Full text
Abstract:
Fluid overload and chronic hypertension are the most common indications for diuretics. The diuretic response varies between different types and depends on underlying renal function. In patients with congestive heart failure, diuretics appear to reduce the risk of death and worsening heart failure compared with placebo, but their use in acute decompensated heart failure is questionable. Diuretics are also widely used in chronic kidney disease to prevent or control fluid overload, and treat hypertension. In acute kidney injury, there is no evidence that they improve renal function, speed up recovery, or change mortality. In patients with chronic liver disease and large volume ascites, paracentesis is more effective and associated with fewer adverse events than diuretic therapy, but maintenance treatment with diuretics is indicated to prevent recurrence of ascites. Mannitol has a role in liver patients with cerebral oedema and normal renal function. The use of diuretics in rhabdomyolysis is controversial and restricted to patients who are not fluid deplete. In conditions associated with resistant oedema (chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, chronic liver disease), combinations of diuretics with different modes of action may be necessary. Diuresis is easier to achieve with a continuous furosemide infusion compared with intermittent boluses, but there is no evidence of better outcomes. The role of combination therapy with albumin in patients with fluid overload and severe hypoalbuminaemia is uncertain with conflicting data.

Abstract:
This chapter reviews the research literature on professional service firm–client relationships. Client relationships are a defining feature of professional service firms, but are also critical strategic assets and an indicator of the market strategy of professional service firms. To assess the state of knowledge about client relationships the chapter is organized around three themes. First is the different ways that professional service firm–client relationships have been characterized and how this shapes researchers’ assumptions about and focus on client relationships. Second, it examines the life cycle of client relationships, focusing specifically on research that addresses the formation, maintenance, and dissolution of client relationships. The third theme examines research that has identified how client relationships affect professional service firms, particularly in the areas of strategy, structure, learning, and human resource practices. The author identifies important gaps in our understanding of client relationships and suggests several potential avenues for future research.

Full text
Abstract:
The benefit of prolonged application of moderate-dose corticosteroids in systemic inflammatory diseases remains controversial. In critical illness, the endogenous cortisol effect may become insufficient due to adrenal dysfunction and corticosteroid resistance to counterbalance an exaggerated and protracted inflammatory response, which has been termed ‘critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency’ (CIRCI). There is evidence that moderate-dose hydrocortisone (200–300 mg/day) significantly fastens shock reversal in patients with septic shock, but may improve survival probably only in patients with high risk of death. Thus, therapy should be considered only in refractory shock with poor response to fluid administration and vasopressor therapy. The indication should be based on clinical judgement and not on cortisol measurement. The application prolonged of moderate-dose methylprednisolone (1 mg/kg/day) was found to be most effective in early acute respiratory distress syndrome, and associated with improved lung function, reduction of mechanical ventilation, and faster discharge from the ICU, but a survival benefit was found only in pooled data, including cohort studies. A continuous infusion and weaning of corticosteroids may be preferable to bolus applications and abrupt withdrawal to avoid side effects such as rebound of inflammation and shock, glucose variability, or respiratory failure. There is currently no evidence that prolonged application of moderate-dose corticosteroids increase the risk of secondary infections or muscle weakness, but infection surveillance should be implemented and combination with muscle relaxants be avoided.

Full text
Abstract:
Hyperglycaemia is a near universal occurrence in critically-ill patients. In the last 10 years, control of blood glucose has been one of the most intensively studied areas of critical care medicine. It has become clear that control of blood glucose has the potential to affect both morbidity and mortality, and considerable uncertainty remains over many aspects of blood glucose management. Both hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia are associated with increased mortality and should be avoided wherever possible. Wide fluctuations in blood glucose concentration (referred to as increased glucose variability) are also associated with increased mortality, but may indicate more severe illness. Increased interest in blood glucose management has demonstrated that point-of-care glucose meters designed for ambulatory use by patient with diabetes are not sufficiently accurate for use in critically-ill patients. More accurate analysers should be used in the intensive care unit and management guided by computerized. Future developments may see the introduction of accurate continuous or near continuous blood glucose analysers, but safe and effective closed loop control of blood glucose remains an elusive goal.
