Psychomotor Therapy Using the Body Schema for the Intellectually Disabled at the A.D.A.R-Tubahoze Centre

: This study is the preliminary research focused on psychomotor therapy and body schemas for the intellectually disabled, hence the motor dimension with a test of balance, coordination and jumping in the pre-test and post-test of a BPM measurement at 60, 90 and 120 (BPM) with the YO and YC. The cognitive dimension with, for example, the Berces and Lezine test of body control and latero-spatial organization, the Piaget and Head tests of gesture imitation and latero-spatial organization. The affective dimension revolving around self-esteem was measured with the self-perception profile for adults with intellectual disabilities (SPPD) on physical appearance, athletic competence and psychomotor competence. At the end of the verification of research question and using methodological approach adopted on the present study on the motor dimension, the cognitive dimension and the affective dimension; it was found that with the motor dimension on the balance test, a trend on the performance of our intellectually disabled patients from A.D.A.R-Tubahoze centre during the psychomotor therapy sessions was tested positive in the post-test compared to the pre-test (BYO and BYC). With regard to the coordination test (CYO and CYC) at post-test and pre-test, the statistical frequencies with overall averages show that our intellectually impaired patients tended to obtain better results at post-test than at pre-test; this shows a success in the applicability of motor therapy to coordination disorder in intellectually impaired patients. Similarly, a positive performance trend was shown in the results of the jumping test at post-test than at pre-test. The trend in the results of the jump test (JYO and JYC) in the post-test than in the pre-test would have shown a positive result after our therapeutic-motor sessions with the IDs of the A.D.A.R. centre. From the cognitive dimension, using the test of imitation of gestures and lateral-spatial on different movements, has a score of 10 points in the test of imitation of simple gestures of hand movements, it would have been observed in MID patients that the test proved positive; with the Piaget’s Head test of latero-spatial organization administered to MID which was evaluated at a score of 40 points, had as a positive performance to all patients who took this test. The results of our work on the affective dimension of the dominant modality “Rather true”, was observed on items 12, 16, 20 and 24 of self-esteem, with physical appearance vis-à-vis items (5,10,18 and 22) and items 5 and 9 and then items 17, 13 and 1 of athletic competence; from items with a “Rather positive” modality with items 11, 3 and 2 3, 7, 15 and 19 of our MID patients that a positive trend on positive appreciation was satisfactorily observable.
Exposure to Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors in Early Pregnancy and the Risk of Miscarriage

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether exposure to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in early pregnancy is associated with miscarriage. METHODS: This was a nationwide cohort study identifying all registered pregnancies in Denmark from 1997 to 2010. All births were identified using the Medical Birth Registry, and all records of induced abortion or miscarriage were gathered from the National Hospital Register. Data on SSRI use were gathered from the National Prescription Register. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to calculate the hazard of miscarriage in women exposed to an SSRI in early pregnancy and the hazard of miscarriage in women discontinuing treatment before pregnancy. RESULTS: We identified 1,279,840 pregnancies (911,569 births, 142,093 miscarriages, 226,178 induced abortions). Of the 22,884 exposed to an SSRI during the first 35 days of pregnancy, 12.6% (2,883) ended in miscarriage compared with 11.1% among unexposed. The adjusted hazard ratio of having a miscarriage after exposure to an SSRI was 1.27 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.22–1.33) compared with unexposed. Women discontinuing SSRI treatment 3–12 months before pregnancy also had an increased hazard ratio of having a miscarriage compared to unexposed (1.24, 95% CI 1.18–1.30). CONCLUSION: Women exposed to SSRIs during early pregnancy were at increased risk of miscarriage as were women discontinuing SSRI treatment before pregnancy, and these risks were similar. Therefore, treatment with SSRIs during pregnancy should not be discontinued as a result of fear of miscarriage. LEVEL OF EVIEDENCE: II
Providing throughput guarantees in IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN

In this paper, we propose ARME (Assured Rate MAC Extension), an extension of the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol to provide throughput guarantees. The proposed extension relies on the distributed coordination function (DCF) with a modified algorithm for the computation of the contention window (CW). Best effort service (with no throughput guarantee) is supported by the functionality of the current 802.11 standard in such a way that legacy IEEE 802.11 terminals behave as best effort terminals in ARME. The performance of the proposed extension has been extensively evaluated through simulation; simulation results show that IEEE 802.11 devices using ARME behave well for different types of traffic and different source rates.

Assessment of Impact of Tropospheric Ozone and Aerosol Variability on Microclimate, Growth and Yield of Wheat

In the present study first time field experiment was carried out to assess the combined effect of tropospheric ozone [O3] and aerosol air pollutants on wheat (variety HD 2967 /Pusa Sindhu). At the experimental site during wheat season dynamicity in ambient levels of O3, particulate matter (PM) -PM10, PM2.5 and Black carbon (BC) was also monitored through active as well as passive methods along with meteorological parameters. Physicochemical characterization as well as quantification of enrichment factor for elemental constituents of PM particles indicated presence of primary and secondary minerals and major contribution from anthropogenic sources. Wheat crop was exposed to eight treatments representing combination of two levels of ozone (O3) with and without ozone protectant -ascorbic acid (AA), and two levels atmospheric particulate matter (PM) throughout the crop growth period and its response was recorded. Air accumulation Factor (AAF) for elements from atmospheric PM to the flag leaf through PM deposition was 8.3-39.8 m g. At the experimental site during the experiment mean ambient levels of [O3], PM2.5, PM10 and BC were 16.2-49.1, 196-301, 196-514, and 0.09-19.9 μg/m3 respectively. Cumulative PM deposition on wheat was 10542609 μg/cm with maximum PM deposition under elevated ozone (EO3) and elevated PM treatment EO3+EPM) and minimum in ambient ozone (AO3) and ambient PM deposition with AA application (AO3+AA+APM) respectively. Clogging and damage to stomatal opening on flag leaves due to PM deposition was observed. [O3] exposure with PM deposition significantly enhanced leaf temperature, adversely affected biochemical parameters, gaseous exchange and yield of wheat. Temperature of flag leaves with PM deposition under different treatments varied from 27.8 -31.2C. Air Pollution Tolerance Index varied from 6.7-19 with maximum in AO3+AA+APM treatment. Significant negative correlation between gaseous exchange parameters and PM deposition was observed. Range of rate of photosynthesis (PN) 6.8 -16.91 μmol CO2 m s, Stomatal conductance (gs) 0.22-0.54 mol H2O m s and transpiration (Tr) 4.5-8.25 mmol H2O m s. Results of the study indicates that EO3+EPM treatment reduced the grain yield by 17% and AO3+AA+APM treatment enhanced the yield by 16% as compared to control treatment AO3+ APM. Study indicates that the increasing build-up of O3 & aerosol over the IGP, during the wheat crop season have potential to negatively affect the production & productivity of the wheat. Therefore additional research is needed to confirm the results as well as to better understand the possible synergistic impacts of ozone and PM under changing climate.
Time-reversal symmetry-breaking superconductivity in epitaxial bismuth/nickel bilayers

Optical measurements indicate an unconventional superconducting phase in the Bi/Ni bilayer that breaks time-reversal symmetry. Superconductivity that spontaneously breaks time-reversal symmetry (TRS) has been found, so far, only in a handful of three-dimensional (3D) crystals with bulk inversion symmetry. We report an observation of spontaneous TRS breaking in a 2D superconducting system without inversion symmetry: the epitaxial bilayer films of bismuth and nickel. The evidence comes from the onset of the polar Kerr effect at the superconducting transition in the absence of an external magnetic field, detected by the ultrasensitive loop-less fiber-optic Sagnac interferometer. Because of strong spin-orbit interaction and lack of inversion symmetry in a Bi/Ni bilayer, superconducting pairing cannot be classified as singlet or triplet. We propose a theoretical model where magnetic fluctuations in Ni induce the superconducting pairing of the dxy±idx2−y2 orbital symmetry between the electrons in Bi. In this model, the order parameter spontaneously breaks the TRS and has a nonzero phase winding number around the Fermi surface, thus making it a rare example of a 2D topological superconductor.
Sarcocystis caninum and Sarcocystis svanai n. spp. (Apicomplexa: Sarcocystidae) Associated with Severe Myositis and Hepatitis in the Domestic Dog (Canis familiaris)

There are several reports of Sarcocystis sarcocysts in muscles of dogs, but these species have not been named. Additionally, there are two reports of Sarcocystis neurona in dogs. Here, we propose two new names, Sarcocystis caninum, and Sarcocystis svanai for sarcocysts associated with clinical muscular sarcocystosis in four domestic dogs (Canis familiaris), one each from Montana and Colorado in the USA, and two from British Columbia, Canada. Only the sarcocyst stage was identified. Most of the sarcocysts identified were S. caninum. Sarcocysts were studied using light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and polymerase chain reaction. Based on collective results two new species, S. caninum and S. svanai were designated. Sarcocystis caninum and S. svanai were structurally distinct. Sarcocystis caninum sarcocysts were up to 1.2 mm long and up to 75 μm wide. By light microscopy, the sarcocyst wall was relatively thin and smooth. By TEM, the sarcocyst wall was “type 9”, 1–2 μm thick, and contained villar protrusions that lacked microtubules. Bradyzoites in sections were 7–9 μm long. Sarcocysts of S. svanai were few and were identified by TEM. Sarcocystis svanai sarcocysts were “type 1”, thin walled (< 0.5 μm), and the wall lacked villar protrusions but had tiny blebs that did not invaginate. DNA was extracted either from infected frozen muscle biopsies or formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded sections. Dogs were either singly infected with S. caninum or multiply co‐infected with S. caninum and S. svanai (the result of a mixed infection) based on multilocus DNA sequencing and morphology. BLASTn analysis established that the sarcocysts identified in these dogs were similar to, but not identical to Sarcocystis canis or Sarcocystis arctosi, parasites found to infect polar bears (Ursus maritimus) or brown bears (Ursus arctosi), respectively. However, the S. caninum sequence showed 100% identify over the 18S rRNA region sequenced to that of S. arctica, a parasite known to infect Arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus).
All Tapped Out: Touchscreen Interactivity and Young Children’s Word Learning

Touchscreen devices differ from passive screen media in promoting physical interaction with events on the screen. Two studies examined how young children’s screen-directed actions related to self-regulation (Study 1) and word learning (Study 2). In Study 1, 30 2-year-old children’s tapping behaviors during game play were related to their self-regulation, measured using Carlson’s snack task: girls and children with high self-regulation tapped significantly less during instruction portions of an app (including object labeling events) than did boys and children with low self-regulation. Older preschoolers (N = 47, aged 4–6 years) tapped significantly less during instruction than 2-year-olds did. Study 2 explored whether the particular way in which 170 children (2–4 years of age) interacted with a touchscreen app affected their learning of novel object labels. Conditions in which children tapped or dragged a named object to move it across the screen required different amounts of effort and focus, compared to a non-interactive (watching) condition. Age by sex interactions revealed a particular benefit of dragging (a motorically challenging behavior) for preschool girls’ learning compared to that of boys, especially for girls older than age 2. Boys benefited more from watching than dragging. Children from low socioeconomic status families learned more object names when dragging objects versus tapping them, possibly because tapping is a prepotent response that does not require thoughtful attention. Parents and industry experts should consider age, sex, self-regulation, and the physical requirements of children’s engagement with touchscreens when designing and using educational content.
Development of the diencephalon in the rat. V. Thymidine‐radiographic observations on internuclear and intranuclear gradients in the thalmus

Groups of pregnant rats were injected with two successive daily doses of 3H‐thymidine from gestational days 13 and 14 (E13 + 14) until the day before birth (E21 + 22). Internuclear and intranuclear cytogenetic gradients were examined in radiograms of the thalamus sectioned in the coronal, sagittal and horizontal planes. There was a precise and segregated lateral‐to medial gradient between and within the habenular nuclei. In the ventral thalamus the reticular nucleus had a lateral‐to‐medial gradient, the subthalamic nucleus a laterodorsal‐to‐medioventral gradient. There was a caudal‐to‐rostral gradient between the medial geniculate and dorsal lateral geniculate nuclei, and between the pars posterior and pars anterior of the lateral nucleus. A clear intranuclear gradient could not be detected in the sensory relay nuclei with the exception of the medial geniculate nucleus. A lateral‐to‐medial internuclear gradient was seen between the relay nuclei and the intralaminar nuclei, and between the latter and some of the midline nuclei.
Shape Control of a Snake Robot With Joint Limit and Self-Collision Avoidance

This paper proposes a shape control method for a snake robot, which maintains head position and orientation, and avoids joint limits and self-collision. We used a passive wheeled snake robot that can switch the grounded/lifted status of its wheels. We derived a kinematic model of the robot that represents its redundancy as both joint angles [the shape controllable points (SCPs)] and the null space of the control input. In the control method, the shape is changed by sequential control of the SCPs, and the null space of the control input is used for joint limit and self-collision avoidance. Jumps in control input do not occur, although the controlled variable and the model are switched. Simulations and an experiment were used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Time-Splitting Methods for Elastic Models Using Forward Time Schemes

Two time-splitting methods for integrating the elastic equations are presented. The methods are based on a third-order Runge‐Kutta time scheme and the Crowley advection schemes. The schemes are combined with a forward‐backward scheme for integrating high-frequency acoustic and gravity modes to create stable splitexplicit schemes for integrating the compressible Navier‐Stokes equations. The time-split methods facilitate the use of both centered and upwind-biased discretizations for the advection terms, allow for larger time steps, and produce more accurate solutions than existing approaches. The time-split Crowley scheme illustrates a methodology for combining any pure forward-in-time advection schemes with an explicit time-splitting method. Based on both linear and nonlinear tests, the third-order Runge‐Kutta-based time-splitting scheme appears to offer the best combination of efficiency and simplicity for integrating compressible nonhydrostatic atmospheric models.
Sonifying data uncertainty with sound dimensions

ABSTRACT The communication of data uncertainty is a crucial problem in data science, information visualization, and geographic information science (GIScience). Effective ways to communicate the uncertainty of data enables data consumers to interpret the data as intended by the producer, reducing the possibilities of misinterpretation. In this article, we report on an empirical investigation of how sound can be used to convey information about data uncertainty in an intuitive way. To answer the research question How intuitive are sound dimensions to communicate uncertainty? we carry out a cognitive experiment, where participants were asked to interpret the certainty/uncertainty level in two sounds A and B (N = 33). We produce sound stimuli by varying sound dimensions, including loudness, duration, location, pitch, register, attack, decay, rate of change, noise, timbre, clarity, order, and harmony. In the stimuli, both synthetic and natural sounds are used to allow comparison. The experiment results identify three sound dimensions (loudness, order, and clarity) as significantly more intuitive to communicate uncertainty, providing guidelines for sonification and information visualization practitioners.
Extending the theory of Owicki and Gries with a logic of progress

This paper describes a logic of progress for concurrent programs. The logic is based on that of UNITY, molded to fit a sequential programming model. Integration of the two is achieved by using auxiliary variables in a systematic way that incorporates program counters into the program text. The rules for progress in UNITY are then modified to suit this new system. This modification is however subtle enough to allow the theory of Owicki and Gries to be used without change.
Efficient Learning with Partially Observed Attributes

We describe and analyze efficient algorithms for learning a linear predictor from examples when the learner can only view a few attributes of each training example. This is the case, for instance, in medical research, where each patient participating in the experiment is only willing to go through a small number of tests. Our analysis bounds the number of additional examples sufficient to compensate for the lack of full information on each training example. We demonstrate the efficiency of our algorithms by showing that when running on digit recognition data, they obtain a high prediction accuracy even when the learner gets to see only four pixels of each image.
Association between human cancer and two polymorphisms occurring together in the p21Waf1/Cip1 cyclin‐dependent kinase inhibitor gene

The cyclin‐dependent kinase inhibitor gene p21Waf1/Cip1 plays a role in signaling cellular growth arrest. In response to DNA damage, p21 is induced by the p53 gene, thereby playing a direct role in mediating p53‐induced G1 arrest. Alterations in this gene may adversely affect regulation of cellular proliferation and increase susceptibility for cancer. Two polymorphisms have previously been characterized in the p21 gene: a C→A transversion at codon 31 (ser→arg) and a C→T transition 20 nucleotides downstream from the 3' end of exon 3.
Influence of age on outcome of psychological treatments in first-episode psychosis

Background Psychological treatments have been shown to be effective in patients with psychosis. However, the studies published to date have included participants across wide age ranges, so few conclusions can be reached about the effectiveness of such treatments in relation to age. Aims To evaluate outcomes by age in a randomised controlled trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), supportive counselling and treatment as usual. Method Outcomes were evaluated in terms of symptoms, social functioning, insight and therapeutic alliance according to age at 3- and 18-month follow-up. Results Younger participants responded better to supportive counselling than to treatment as usual and CBTover 3 months. Older participants responded better to CBT than to supportive counselling over 18 months. Younger participants showed a greater increase in insight after CBT compared with treatment as usual and supportive counselling, and were more difficult to engage in therapy. Conclusions Young people may have different needs with regard to engagement in psychological treatments. Treatment providers need to take age-specific factors into account.
