Paper electronics and electronic paper

The manufacturing, converting and ennobling processes of paper are truly large area and reel-to-reel processes. Here, we describe a project focusing on using the converting and ennobling processes of paper in order to introduce electronic functions onto the paper surface. As key active electronic materials we are using organic molecules and polymers. We develop sensor, communication and display devices on paper and the main application areas are packaging and paper display applications.

Complexity surrounding the holistic nature of customer experience has made measuring customer perceptions of interactive service experiences, challenging. At the same time, advances in technology and changes in methods for collecting explicit customer feedback are generating increasing volumes of unstructured textual data, making it difficult for managers to analyze and interpret this information. Consequently, text mining, a method enabling automatic extraction of information from textual data, is gaining in popularity. However, this method has performed below expectations in terms of depth of analysis of customer experience feedback and accuracy. In this study, we advance linguistics-based text mining modeling to inform the process of developing an improved framework. The proposed framework incorporates important elements of customer experience, service methodologies and theories such as co-creation processes, interactions and context. This more holistic approach for analyzing feedback facilitates a deeper analysis of customer feedback experiences, by encompassing three value creation elements: activities, resources, and context (ARC). Empirical results show that the ARC framework facilitates the development of a text mining model for analysis of customer textual feedback that enables companies to assess the impact of interactive service processes on customer experiences. The proposed text mining model shows high accuracy levels and provides flexibility through training. As such, it can evolve to account for changing contexts over time and be deployed across different (service) business domains; we term it an “open learning” model. The ability to timely assess customer experience feedback represents a pre-requisite for successful co-creation processes in a service environment. Accepted as: Ordenes, F.

Combining Pattern Languages and Reusable Architectural Decision Models into a Comprehensive and Comprehensible Design Method

When constructing software systems, software architects must identify and evaluate many competing design options and document the rationale behind any selections made. Two supporting concepts are pattern languages and architectural decision models. Unfortunately, both concepts only provide partial support: Extensive upfront education is needed for practitioners to be in command of' the full pattern literature relevant in their field; retrospective architectural decision modeling is viewed as a painful extra responsibility without immediate gains. In this paper, we combine pattern languages and reusable architectural decision models into a design method that is both comprehensive and comprehensible. Our design method identifies the required decisions in requirements models systematically, gives domain-specific pattern selection advice, and provides traceability from platform-independent patterns to platform-specific decisions. We validate our approach by applying it to enterprise applications as an exemplary application genre and a SOA case study from the finance industry.
Placebo-Controlled Trial of Familiar Auditory Sensory Training for Acute Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: A Preliminary Report.

BACKGROUND
Sensory stimulation is often provided to persons incurring severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), but therapeutic effects are unclear.


OBJECTIVE
This preliminary study investigated neurobehavioral and neurophysiological effects related to sensory stimulation on global neurobehavioral functioning, arousal, and awareness.


METHODS
A double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial where 15 participants in states of disordered consciousness (DOC), an average of 70 days after TBI, were provided either the Familiar Auditory Sensory Training (FAST) or Placebo of silence. Global neurobehavioral functioning was measured with the Disorders of Consciousness Scale (DOCS). Arousal and awareness were measured with the Coma-Near-Coma (CNC) scale. Neurophysiological effect was measured using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).


RESULTS
FAST (n = 8) and Placebo (n = 7) groups each showed neurobehavioral improvement. Mean DOCS change (FAST = 13.5, SD = 8.2; Placebo = 18.9, SD = 15.6) was not different, but FAST patients had significantly (P = .049; 95% confidence interval [CI] = -1.51, -.005) more CNC gains (FAST = 1.01, SD = 0.60; Placebo = 0.25, SD = 0.70). Mixed-effects models confirm CNC findings (P = .002). Treatment effect, based on CNC, is large (d = 1.88, 95% CI = 0.77, 3.00). Number needed to treat is 2. FAST patients had more fMRI activation in language regions and whole brain (P values <.05) resembling healthy controls' activation.


CONCLUSIONS
For persons with DOC 29 to 170 days after TBI, FAST resulted in CNC gains and increased neural responsivity to vocal stimuli in language regions. Clinicians should consider providing the FAST to support patient engagement in neurorehabilitation.
A Review of Kernel Methods in Machine Learning

We review recent methods for learning with positive definite kernels. All these methods formulate learning and estimation problems as linear tasks in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) associated with a kernel. We cover a wide range of methods, ranging from simple classifiers to sophisticated methods for estimation with structured data.

Antiretroviral therapy and congenital abnormalities in infants born to HIV-infected women in the UK and Ireland, 1990-2007.

OBJECTIVE
To explore the rate of reported congenital abnormalities in infants exposed to antiretroviral therapy in utero.


DESIGN
Comprehensive national surveillance study in the UK and Ireland.


METHODS
Births to diagnosed HIV-infected women are reported to the National Study of HIV in Pregnancy and Childhood. Infants born between 1990 and 2007 were included.


RESULTS
The rate of reported major and minor congenital abnormality was 2.8% (232/8242) overall, and there was no significant difference by timing of ART exposure: 2.8% (14/498) in unexposed infants, 2.7% (147/5427) following second or third trimester exposure, and 3.1% (53/1708) following first trimester exposure (P = 0.690). There was no difference in abnormality rates by class of ART exposure in the first trimester (P = 0.363), and no category of abnormality was significantly associated with timing of ART, although numbers in these groups were small. There was no increased risk of abnormalities in infants exposed to efavirenz (P = 0.672) or didanosine (P = 0.816) in the first trimester.


CONCLUSION
These findings, based on a large, national, unselected population provide further reassurance that ART in utero does not pose a major risk of fetal anomaly.
Effects of emotional arousal in the cerebral hemispheres: a study of oscillatory brain activity and event-related potentials

OBJECTIVE
The present study aimed at examining the time course and topography of oscillatory brain activity and event-related potentials (ERPs) in response to laterally presented affective pictures.


METHODS
Electroencephalography was recorded from 129 electrodes in 10 healthy university students during presentation of pictures from the international affective picture system. Frequency measures and ERPs were obtained for pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant pictures.


RESULTS
In accordance with previous reports, a modulation of the late positive ERP wave at parietal recording sites was found as a function of emotional arousal. Early mid gamma band activity (GBA; 30-45 Hz) at 80 ms post-stimulus was enhanced in response to aversive stimuli only, whereas the higher GBA (46-65 Hz) at 500 ms showed an enhancement of arousing, compared to neutral pictures. ERP and late gamma effects showed a pronounced right-hemisphere preponderance, but differed in terms of topographical distribution.


CONCLUSIONS
Late gamma activity may represent a correlate of widespread cortical networks processing different aspects of emotionally arousing visual objects. In contrast, differences between affective categories in early gamma activity might reflect fast detection of aversive stimulus features.
Color fringe correction using guided image filtering

Color fringe causes degradation of image quality when an image is obtained from a digital camera. This paper presents a computationally efficient color fringe correction method using a guided filter. Experimental results with a number of test images show the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of color fringe removal and the computational load.
The HAAPI (Home Arm Assistance Progression Initiative) Trial: A Novel Robotics Delivery Approach in Stroke Rehabilitation.

BACKGROUND
Geographical location, socioeconomic status, and logistics surrounding transportation impede access of poststroke individuals to comprehensive rehabilitative services. Robotic therapy may enhance telerehabilitation by delivering consistent and state-of-the art therapy while allowing remote monitoring and adjusting therapy for underserved populations. The Hand Mentor Pro (HMP) was incorporated within a home exercise program (HEP) to improve upper-extremity (UE) functional capabilities poststroke.


OBJECTIVE
To determine the efficacy of a home-based telemonitored robotic-assisted therapy as part of a HEP compared with a dose-matched HEP-only intervention among individuals less than 6 months poststroke and characterized as underserved.


METHODS
In this prospective, single-blinded, multisite, randomized controlled trial, 99 hemiparetic participants with limited access to UE rehabilitation were randomized to either (1) the experimental group, which received combined HEP and HMP for 3 h/d ×5 days ×8 weeks, or (2) the control group, which received HEP only at an identical dosage. Weekly communication between the supervising therapist and participant promoted compliance and progression of the HEP and HMP prescription. The Action Research Arm Test and Wolf Motor Function Test along with the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (UE) were primary and secondary outcome measures, respectively, undertaken before and after the interventions.


RESULTS
Both groups demonstrated improvement across all UE outcomes.


CONCLUSIONS
Robotic + HEP and HEP only were both effectively delivered remotely. There was no difference between groups in change in motor function over time. Additional research is necessary to determine the appropriate dosage of HMP and HEP.
Salud intercultural: elementos para la construcción de sus bases conceptuales

Over the past few years, intercultural health has become an emerging issue in health policy. Intercultural health is an approach to create a better communication between patients and providers. In the short term, this approach incorporates patient’s culture background in health care, improving intercultural communication strategies to generate, in the long term, a health system adapted to the medical culture of patients. This article explores the underlying concepts in the intercultural health approach, such as cultural diversity and medical systems as complex models of thoughts and behaviors (Rev Méd Chile 2003; 131: 1061-65).

Polynomial approximation to clothoids via s-power series

Given an arbitrary segment of a clothoid over a finite interval, we propose a novel method for generating a polynomial approximation, based on employing s-power series, the two-point analogue of Taylor expansions. Truncating at the kth term the s-power series furnishes the order-k Hermite interpolant, i.e. the degree-ð2k þ 1Þ polynomial curve that reproduces up to the kth derivative of the original curve at the endpoints of a given interval. By piecing these approximations we obtain a Hermitian spline that exhibits C continuity at the joints and enjoys almost arc-length parameterization. This is a more suitable alternative than the truncated Taylor series or the blending of Taylor expansions advocated by Wang et al.

Familial adenomatous polyposis: genetics and epidemiology

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a rare genetic disease characterised by the development of hundreds to thousands of adenomatous polyps along the colon–rectum leading to cancer at a young age, if left untreated. In 1991, the gene responsible for the vast majority of FAP cases, the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene, was identified. In 5–30% of FAP patients, no APC mutation is identifiable by current genetic testing. In 2003, it was shown that ‘APC-negative’ FAP patients may carry biallelic mutations in a different gene, the MYH gene. Genetics of FAP will be discussed in relation to its present clinical applications. If the hereditable mutation(s) is/are known in a family, it is possible to plan endoscopic surveillance only for those who actually inherited the mutation(s). Also, genetic testing may be of help in the diagnosis of atypical adenomatous polyposis cases and in the clinical management of affected individuals.
A data-driven approach to mapping cortical and subcortical intrinsic functional connectivity along the longitudinal hippocampal axis.

The hippocampus (HPC) is functionally heterogeneous along the longitudinal anterior-posterior axis. In rodent models, gene expression maps define at least three discrete longitudinal subregions, which also differ in function, and in anatomical connectivity with the rest of the brain. In humans, equivalent HPC subregions are less well defined, resulting in a lack of consensus in neuroimaging approaches that limits translational study. This study determined whether a data-driven analysis, namely independent component analysis (ICA), could reproducibly define human HPC subregions, and map their respective intrinsic functional connectivity (iFC) with the rest of the brain. Specifically, we performed ICA of resting-state fMRI activity spatially restricted within the HPC, to determine the configuration and reproducibility of functional HPC components. Using dual regression, we then performed multivariate analysis of iFC between resulting HPC components and the whole brain, including detailed connectivity with the hypothalamus, a functionally important connection not yet characterized in human. We found hippocampal ICA resulted in highly reproducible longitudinally discrete components, with greater functional heterogeneity in the anterior HPC, consistent with animal models. Anterior hippocampal components shared iFC with the amygdala, nucleus accumbens, medial prefrontal cortex, posterior cingulate cortex, midline thalamus, and periventricular hypothalamus, whereas posterior hippocampal components shared iFC with the anterior cingulate cortex, retrosplenial cortex, and mammillary bodies. We show that spatially masked hippocampal ICA with dual regression reproducibly identifies functional subregions in the human HPC, and maps their respective brain intrinsic connectivity.

Social Defeat during Adolescence and Adulthood Differentially Induce BDNF-Regulated Immediate Early Genes

Stressful life events generally enhance the vulnerability for the development of human psychopathologies such as anxiety disorders and depression. The incidence rates of adult mental disorders steeply rises during adolescence in parallel with a structural and functional reorganization of the neural circuitry underlying stress reactivity. However, the mechanisms underlying susceptibility to stress and manifestation of mental disorders during adolescence are little understood. We hypothesized that heightened sensitivity to stress during adolescence reflects age-dependent differences in the expression of activity-dependent genes involved in synaptic plasticity. Therefore, we compared the effect of social stress during adolescence with social stress in adulthood on the expression of a panel of genes linked to induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling. We show that social defeat during adolescence and adulthood differentially regulates expression of the immediate early genes BDNF, Arc, Carp, and Tieg1, as measured by qPCR in tissue lysates from prefrontal cortex, nucleus accumbens, and hippocampus. In the hippocampus, mRNA levels for all four genes were robustly elevated following social defeat in adolescence, whereas none were induced by defeat in adulthood. The relationship to coping style was also examined using adult reactive and proactive coping rats. Gene expression levels of reactive and proactive animals were similar in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. However, a trend toward a differential expression of BDNF and Arc mRNA in the nucleus accumbens was detected. BDNF mRNA was increased in the nucleus accumbens of proactive defeated animals, whereas the expression level in reactive defeated animals was comparable to control animals. The results demonstrate striking differences in immediate early gene expression in response to social defeat in adolescent and adult rats.
Maternal mental health: The missing "m" in the global maternal and child health agenda.

While the physical health of women and children is emphasized, the mental aspects of their health are often ignored by maternal and child health programs, especially in low- and middle-income countries. We review the evidence of the magnitude, impact, and interventions for common maternal mental health problems with a focus on depression, the condition with the greatest public health impact. The mean prevalence of maternal depression ranges between 15.6% in the prenatal and 19.8% in the postnatal period. It is associated with preterm birth, low birth weight, and poor infant growth and cognitive development. There is emerging evidence for the effectiveness of interventions, especially those that can be delivered by non-specialists, including community health workers, in low-income settings. Strategies for integrating maternal mental health in the maternal and child health agenda are suggested.
Planning Formula One race strategies using discrete-event simulation

A discrete-event simulation model that imitates most on-track events, including car failures, passing manoeuvres and pit stops during a Formula One race, is presented. The model is intended for use by a specific team. It will enable decision-makers to plan and evaluate their race strategy, consequently providing them with a possible competitive advantage. The simulation modelling approach presented in this paper captures the mechanical complexities and physical interactions of a race car with its environment through a time-based approach. Model verification and validation are demonstrated using three races from the 2005 season. The application of the model is illustrated by evaluating the race strategies employed by a specific team during these three races.

Concordance rates of biomarkers uPA and PAI-1 results in primary breast cancer vs. consecutive tumor board decision and therapy performed in clinical hospital routine: Results of a prospective multi-center study at certified breast centers.

OBJECTIVE
Biomarkers uPA and PAI-1 are guideline recommended by ASCO (USA) and AGO (Germany) in primary breast cancer to avoid unnecessary CTX in patients at medium risk for recurrence. For clinical quality assurance of uPA/PAI-1 testing, analysis of test-therapy concordance was performed.


METHODS
Prospective non-interventional multi-center study over 2 years among six Certified Breast Centers in Germany to investigate uPA/PAI-1 results in consecutive decision making for tumor board recommendation and actual therapy in uninfluenced clinical setting. Concordance and discordance rates of uPA/PAI-1 testing were calculated and individual reasons for decision making analyzed.


RESULTS
Among n = 93 uPA/PAI-1 tests evaluated n = 42/93 (45.2%) were uPA + PAI-1 negative and n = 51/93 (54.8%) uPA and/or PAI-1 positive. In uPA + PAI-1 negative test results in n = 35/42 (83.3%) CTX was avoided as recommended. But in n = 7/42 (16.7%) CTX was performed despite, resulting in over treatment. In uPA and/or PAI-1 positive test results in n = 26/51 (51.0%) CTX was performed but in n = 25/51 (49.0%) not despite recommendation for CTX which is under treatment. The conformity of uPA/PAI-1 test result vs. tumor board decision was n = 73/93 (78.5%). The overall concordance of uPA/PAI-1 test result vs. consecutive therapy was n = 61/93 (65.6%). A variety of reasons for individual result-deviating decisions were identified.


CONCLUSIONS
Clinical quality assurance of uPA/PAI-1 biomarker testing showed inconsistency of test results with consecutive tumor board decision and/or final therapy performed in up to 1/3 of patients. To close this clinical quality gap in application of uPA/PAI-1 biomarkers, individual analysis of deviations is suggested with process optimization accordingly.
