"Ours is not a problem of relevance, as I’ve already argued, but of public perception and marketability. The long-term goal should be to increase the visibility of the discipline, and to make more publicly accessible the comparative scholarship that is crucial to solving the most pressing problems of the 21st century. But do not despair: we are well equipped for the challenge. Comparatists are already widely recognized for producing high-quality cutting-edge scholarship."

In 2015, Intermountain Healthcare executive Dan Liljenquist was reading about soaring prices for old generic drugs with disbelief. For several months, companies such as Valeant Pharmaceuticals (now Bausch Health) and Turing Pharmaceuticals—made famous by its villainous CEO Martin Shkreli—were making headlines by acquiring products that had long been off patent and instituting astronomical price hikes. “When I saw Martin Shkreli come out and jack up the price of Daraprim by 5,000%, really, I was stunned,” Liljenquist recalls. “How could somebody corner the market so completely for a drug that had been on the market for decades?” Liljenquist, chief strategy officer for the hospital chain, began contemplating ways to fix the broken system. He decided the market needed a generic-drug company that would operate like a public utility, with stakeholder buy-in that ensures patients have access to medicines at a fair price. In September 2018, Intermountain and several partners launched Civica

Tesla is bringing us energy-sharing, with the announcement that it is building the world's largest "virtual" power plant in Australia. Last month, the government of South Australia revealed that it had hired Elon Musk's firm to fit 50,000 homes with solar panels and lithium ion batteries. The aim is to shake up the traditional model of having all houses connect to a central power station. Instead, houses that can generate power themselves will be wired up separately. The government says that by producing their own solar energy, participating households will shave 30 percent off their energy bills

Some scientists who work directly for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) joke that NIH stands for "nerds in heaven." But the main NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland, and its other intramural research sites, which together house some 1200 principal investigators and 4000 postdocs, are also known as stodgy places where the scientific management, mostly white men, tends to stay in place for decades. Now, NIH is aiming to shake up the largest collection of biomedical researchers in the world by imposing term limits on midlevel leadership positions. Starting next year, the 272 lab and branch chiefs who oversee NIH9s intramural research will be limited to 12-year terms. The changes are roiling the campus.

NHS England is to test plans to scrap the current four hour target for seeing and treating patients in hospital accident and emergency departments, as part of a radical shake up of waiting time standards. The proposals come out of a clinical review of all current NHS access standards by NHS England’s medical director, Stephen Powis, which assessed how targets might be altered to reflect advances in clinical practice and service delivery since they were first introduced in the 2000s.1 The interim review, published on 11 March, set out a raft of changes to current standards across urgent and emergency care, elective care, cancer care, and mental health, which it says should be tested during 2019-20. The review proposed replacing the current emergency care targets with five new standards (box 1). Box 1 ### Proposed new emergency care targetsRETURN TO TEXT

The aim of this paper was to shake up the entrepreneurship ideal by problematizing what seems to have become naturalized, i.e. the ideologized tale of optimism associated with entrepreneurship. We have chosen a particular group of entrepreneurs (one usually and typically excluded in not only popular discourse but also in mainstream entrepreneurship literature), and we have chosen a typical Western society, one that firmly ascribes to neoliberal ideas. We have brought into play Dutch institutional stories with those of female ethnic entrepreneurs to see if these institutions sustain the presupposed view and to find out how these women consequently 'deal' with such presuppositions, and how and at what particular aspects they resist them. Since centre-margin positionalities are central to our investigations we have turned to deconstruction analysis as an inspirational source for our analysis. Our analysis portrays how the centred ideas about entrepreneurship and the positive powers attributed to it do not hold; it demonstrates the incoherence of this centre rather than confirming its position. We have been able to establish that the hegemonic, positive discourse on entrepreneurship in general and with women of ethnic minority origin specifically indeed resonates in these institutions' stories, mostly in its non-reflexivity and ideological prejudices. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

On 18 February 2016, the European Ombudsman delivered a decision (case 12/2013/MDC) that has the potential to thoroughly shake up the manner in which the European Commission authorises plant protection products (PPPs).Pesticide Action Network Europe (PAN-Europe) brought the case before the Ombudsman. It alleged that the Commission approves potentially unsafe PPPs and disregards data gaps in the risk assessment, thereby ignoring concerns raised by the European Food and Safety Authority. PAN-Europe also argued that the Commission fails to set appropriate risk mitigation measures and to check Member States’ compliance with those measures. The Ombudsman largely agreed with PAN-Europe. She found that the Commission indeed authorised substances, even when it was unclear whether a substance met the legal health and environmental safety requirements. The Ombudsman made several recommendations to the Commission for bringing its approval practice, which constitutes maladministration, in conformity with EU pesticide law.

Probabilities for electron shake-up and shake-off are calculated as relaxation processes following the beta decay of 6 He to form 6 Li, including corrections due to nuclear recoil. Within the sudden approximation, it is found that the correction due to nuclear recoil is nearly an order of magnitude less than that measured by Carlson et al . Phys. Rev. 129 , 2220 (1963).

Married bisexual women shake up existing socially recognizable family, gender, and sexuality orders prescribed by Western society simply by being out, bisexual, and married. Empirical research on and theoretical arguments about bisexuality in the family have been rare. A recent study published in the Journal of Marriage and Family (2010) notes that “… a number of core questions [about bisexuality in the family] remain unanswered” (Biblarz & Savci, 2010, p. 490). It is my intention to argue in favor of a new paradigm that sees relationships through a bisexual lens (rather than a hetero-/homosexual lens), allowing for simultaneous partners of different genders (polyamory) as a legitimate and lawful practice and the creation of families through such practices to be viewed as no less necessary than the families of their monosexual peers. (In)visibility of this high-stakes way of doing bisexuality informs the ways my respondents do family.

The global recession of 2007–2009 is altering the structure of the global banking industry. Many Western banks suffered after the fallout of the subprime mortgage market in 2007 and are having to respond to the policy ramifications of the crisis and recession. China's banks, however, have undergone performance improvements in a number of areas, both leading into and during the crisis, and they are now emerging as significant players in the global banking market.1 This “shake-up” in global banking is occurring in five areas: independence, profitability, market focus, business models, and talent. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Health campaigners are calling for a raft of legally enforceable standards to deal with the UK’s “dirty air crisis.” An independent statutory body should be established to ensure that these standards are consistently implemented to achieve cleaner air across the country, says the UK Health Alliance on Climate Change, a coalition of health organisations and professionals advocating for action on climate change to protect public health. The alliance would also like to see a group set up to advise the government on air pollution in much the same way as the Committee on Climate Change does on climate …

Working with 14 high school students and two teachers from the Bronx, New York, in 2006–2007, the author facilitated a year-long conversation about matters of deep concern to the students' lives and learning, both in and out of school. Their discussions resulted in a short book, which took the form of a standardized test they called SAT Bronx. Using students' words and experiences as test passages, its multiple-choice questions attempted to shake up the perspectives of outsiders looking at the culture of minority youth in urban schools, so they might question in new ways what they know about students so unlike themselves. This article discusses the process of creating this book, describing its effects on those involved as well as their evolving stances on what they know and how they demonstrate it.

Louisville’s consolidation with Jefferson County was the first large-scale merger to take place in the United States in more than 30 years. The authors examine this merger as a major institutional innovation that was supposed to enhance economic development. Proponents of consolidation claimed that institutional change would “shake up” the system and create an economic boom. The authors use actual results to determine whether this much-heralded experience warrants claims that it can be a role model, point of reference, or best practice. In doing this, they compare data from premerged and postmerged Louisville over a full 8-year period. Of central concern are whether “shake up” worked, how elites manage results as unsatisfying outcomes become apparent, and what that behavior portends for responsible governance. The authors conclude with a number of principles and policies regarding institutional change.

Arguably, Muslim subjects of the diaspora, regardless if they identify as secular, religious, feminist, or queer, have taken on a new and further stigmatized visibility post‐9/11. How can students and teachers located in feminist classrooms, Muslim and non–Muslim alike, safely imagine Muslim bodies and identities outside and within war propaganda, border security measures, hijacked airplanes, racial profiling, and jihad? Given the relentless and overbearing mainstream media propaganda promoting a climate of fear and protection from ‘Muslims’ and their attributed geographies, physiognomies, and behaviors—essentially reproducing late nineteenth‐century colonialist visual anthropological practices; it is incumbent to revisit the cultural activities of contemporary transnational artists in order to conceptually ‘shake up’ or ‘shake off’ the psychological effects of US–led foreign policies, British and French imperialist histories, fervent nationalisms, and religious extremisms—all of which continue to forcibl...

The Laramie Project is a play based on a collection of interviews with the community members of Laramie, Wyoming, where Mathew Shepard, a 21-year-old university student, was murdered. The idea for the play originated with a theatre group, The Tectonic Theater Project, which devoted 2 years to this project, conducting over 200 interviews. This article reports research findings using the play in teacher education courses as a homophobic disruption: A pedagogical interruptive strategy to shake up, shift, or destabilize heteronormativity and prepare pre-service teachers to create anti-homophobic schools. This study uses pre- and post-questionnaires with 89 pre-service teachers in four teacher education classes in Northern California.

We investigate eight 1‐alkylpyridinium‐based ionic liquids of the form [CnPy][A] by using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electronic environment of each element of the ionic liquids is analyzed. In particular, a reliable fitting model is developed for the C 1s region that applies to each of the ionic liquids. This model allows the accurate charge correction of binding energies and the determination of reliable and reproducible binding energies for each ionic liquid. Shake‐up/off phenomena are determinedfor both C 1s and N 1s spectra. The electronic interaction between cations and anions is investigated for both simple ionic liquids and an example of an ionic‐liquid mixture; the effect of the anion on the electronic environment of the cation is also explored. Throughout the study, a detailed comparison is made between [C8Py][A] and analogues including 1‐octyl‐1‐methylpyrrolidinium‐ ([C8C1Pyrr][A]), and 1‐octyl‐3‐methylimidazolium‐ ([C8C1Im][A]) based samples, where X is common to all ionic liquids.

Direct measurements of Ar^{+} 1s^{-1}2p^{-1}nl double-core-hole shake-up states are reported using conventional single-channel photoemission, offering a new and relatively easy means to study such species. The high-quality results yield accurate energies and lifetimes of the double-core-hole states. Their photoemission spectrum also can be likened to 1s absorption of an exotic argon ion with a 2p core vacancy, providing new information about the spectroscopy of both this unusual ionic state as well as the neutral atom.

The turnaround of NWSC, the National Water and Sewerage Corporation of Uganda, is a textbook case of how a failing water utility was transformed into a performing company. Over a period of 5 years, from 1998 to 2003, costs were slashed, efficiency was increased, hierarchies were made flatter, service quality improved, and a loss-making company in one of the poorest countries in the world moved into the profit zone without even increasing its tariffs. This was achieved to a large extent through the efforts of a visionary leader, William Muhairwe, who applied modern business management techniques to shake up a sclerotic government agency.

In sudden approximation, the probabilities of shake up and shake off processes upon ionization of atomic inner shells are calculated for outer-shell L-, M-, and N-electrons in atoms with Z=3–60. The relative role of the shake off processes increases with the atomic number. Within the same shell of the same atom, the shake off processes are relatively more probable for the nl electrons with smaller l.

A comprehensive study of the He (I) ultra-violet photoelectron spectra of the 1.2,3.4; 1.2,5.6 and 1.2,7.8 isomers of dibenzanthracene up to the double ionisation threshold at ∼18 eV is presented with the aid of one-particle Green’s Function calculations performed using the outer-valence Green’s Function (OVGF) approach and the third-order algebraic diagrammatic construction [ADC(3)] scheme, along with basis sets of improving quality. Suited extrapolations of the ADC(3) results for the one-electron energies characterising the π-band system ( e b

The O 1s photoelectron satellite spectrum of water has been recorded with high resolution and some vibrational structures were detected. The electronic and vibrational structures observed in the experimental spectrum are well interpreted with the aid of the molecular ab initio calculations based on the symmetry adapted cluster-configuration interaction (SAC-CI) method.

Parameters of the resonant 4p 4p –3d e l Auger effect (RA) following the 3d– n p ( n = 5 , 6 ) excitation in Kr were calculated with taking into account the interference between several resonant and direct non-resonant transition amplitudes. For the first time all individual lines of the extended RA spectrum which comprises both the 4 p 4 ( 1 D ) 5p and the 4 p 4 ( 1 D ) 6p groups of final ionic states were considered. It was revealed that each group contains individual lines where the interference contributions have different signs thus providing a weak interference effect on the average over the whole group. Interference effects are found to be more pronounced in the angular distribution of the RA products.

There are many support groups for people suffering from hikikomori (social withdrawal). How to aid their rehabilitation is a complicated subject. What do the supporters do actually? One role for private support groups is to visit people in hikikomori and act as “the disturbing other, ” to shake up their daily life which is divorced from any significant happening and to introduce an element of uncertainty. In so doing, the supporter has to manage her emotions to enjoy the uncertainty, and to make herself happy to meet people in hikikomori. Through this management of emotion, the supporter manages to show people in hikikomori that the uncertainty is necessary and fun and therefore they are welcomed by society.

Most UK companies separate the roles of CEO and Chairman. The former runs the company and the latter runs the board. Using turnover data on 2,180 separate Chairmanships of the top 460 UK firms over the 1990–1998 period, I find that the Chairman is more likely to be replaced when the CEO is dismissed. Detailed data on the dismissal events suggests that Chairman replacement is associated with board restructuring. This may be necessary to bring in different skills and experience which, in turn, might facilitate changes in future corporate decisions. Moreover, I find that the Chairman's previous position, or the type of Chairmanship, does not affect the association between Chairman removal and CEO dismissal. But, the increase in the dismissal likelihood of the Chairman at the time of forced CEO departure is higher when she is involved in the appointment of the failing CEO. This, in turn, can be interpreted as an indication of effective governance.

The former editor of The Guardian applauds the recent decisions by The Independent and The Times to produce tabloid editions and writes: "The quality tabloid revolution will roll on, giving a surge of adrenaline, showing what's possible when you produce newspapers, which, in shape or pace, fit readers' lives. It is a natural step beyond the tabloid feature second sections The Guardian began over a decade ago. It puts the wishes and habits of young, busy readers first... It may shake up the middle market mightily as the Mail and Express face challenges from above as well as below. It could see chunks of current redtop readership migrate to The Independent or The Guardian..."

It was a sound bite that reverberated through the drug industry. On Jan. 11, in his first news conference as president-elect, Donald J. Trump castigated pharmaceutical companies as “getting away with murder.” In the next breath, he vowed to shake up how the government paid for drugs. Those 29 seconds of commentary sent the biotech stock index down 3%. It would become just one of many off-the-cuff remarks directed at the pharmaceutical industry in Trump’s first year in office. The price negotiation threat has so far turned out to lack teeth. But the general uncertainty around key issues in the Trump agenda—the fate of health care reform, corporate tax reform, even the ability to bring talented foreign scientists to the U.S.—has left companies and investors on edge. For investors, the uncertainty wrought by Trump poses a challenge. “In a world where an Administration is more unpredictable, that’s a net negative

The organic synthesis journal Synlett has been conducting an editorial experiment called “intelligent crowd reviewing” that could shake up the traditional peer review process. The results “are stunning,” says Benjamin List, the journal’s editor-in-chief and director of homogeneous catalysis at the Max Planck Institute for Kohlenforschung. Peer review for scientific journals typically involves three anonymous referees from the same research area who judge the quality of a manuscript sent to them by a journal editor. List and his graduate student and editorial assistant Denis Hofler instead worked with an information technology company to create a protected online forum for reviewers. With authors’ permission, they posted 10 submitted papers on the forum and gave a stable of about 100 of the journal’s reviewers 72 hours to respond anonymously to papers of their choosing as well as to respond to fellow reviewers’ comments. In parallel, some of the manuscripts were also examined
