A Malleable Body--Revelations from an Elite Australian Swimmer.

Australian Swimming functions on meritocratic principles as athletes are immersed in a culture that focuses on achievement. Meritocratic principles are accompanied by a technocentric ideology where a 'swimmer body' is a commodity 'viewed as an instrument and object for manipulation' in order to achieve success. This article focuses on swimming as a social practice. The experiences of one of the authors as an Australian Swimming representative reveal how her body was viewed as a malleable object that was trained and manipulated to a perceived ideal for the sake of performance. As a consequence, the author began purging (and complying) her body in an attempt to conform to an idealistic shape set by Australian team managers and coaches and other social regulators. The article adapts Sparkes' personal and academic voice framework for analysis by titling sections 'writing with self' and 'writing with academic voice(s) to demonstrate stepping in and out of the experiences and reflecting on what can be learnt.
The Negative Social World: The Polish Culture of Complaining

In this article, it is proposed that a culture of complaining thrives in Poland. The building blocks of this culture include: (1) the norm of negativity of one's own emotional states, (2) the norm of negativity of the social world, and (3) the behavioral scripts of complaining (rituals of expressing dissatisfaction). Various results of both experimental and correlational research are presented showing that complaining is widespread among Poles and has several important correlates. Specifically, it has been shown that complaining leads to or is accompanied by: (1) lowered moods and increased negative emotions, (2) decreased life satisfaction and optimism, (3) belief in the negativity of the social world, especially if addressed in a general rather than specific way, and (4) belief in an unjust social world. Emotional and cognitive concomitants of complaining are discussed as constituents of a negativity trap, which is detrimental to social adaptation because it leads to emotional and motivational deficits (at the individual level) and hampers the development of system justification ideology (at the collective level).
The Electron Transfer Complex between Cytochrome c552 and the CuA Domain of the Thermus thermophilus ba3 Oxidase

The structural analysis of the redox complex between the soluble cytochrome c552 and the membrane-integral cytochrome ba3 oxidase of Thermus thermophilus is complicated by the transient nature of this protein-protein interaction. Using NMR-based chemical shift perturbation mapping, however, we identified the contact regions between cytochrome c552 and the CuA domain, the fully functional water-soluble fragment of subunit II of the ba3 oxidase. First we determined the complete backbone resonance assignments of both proteins for each redox state. Subsequently, two-dimensional [15N,1H]TROSY spectra recorded for each redox partner both in free and complexed state indicated those surface residues affected by complex formation between the two proteins. This chemical shift analysis performed for both redox states provided a topological description of the contact surface on each partner molecule. Remarkably, very pronounced indirect effects, which were observed on the back side of the heme cleft only in the reduced state, suggested that alterations of the electron distribution in the porphyrin ring due to formation of the protein-protein complex are apparently sensed even beyond the heme propionate groups. The contact residues of each redox partner, as derived from the chemical shift perturbation mapping, were employed for a protein-protein docking calculation that provided a structure ensemble of 10 closely related conformers representing the complex between cytochrome c552 and the CuA domain. Based on these structures, the electron transfer pathway from the heme of cytochrome c552 to the CuA center of the ba3 oxidase has been predicted.
Multiwavelength Mass Comparisons of the z ∼ 0.3 CNOC Cluster Sample

Results are presented from a detailed analysis of optical and X-ray observations of moderate-redshift galaxy clusters from the Canadian Network for Observational Cosmology (CNOC) subsample of the EMSS. The combination of extensive optical and deep X-ray observations of these clusters make them ideal candidates for multiwavelength mass comparison studies. X-ray surface brightness profiles of 14 clusters with 0.17 < z < 0.55 are constructed from Chandra observations and fit to single- and double-β models. Spatially resolved temperature analysis is performed, indicating that five of the clusters in this sample exhibit temperature gradients within their inner 60-200 kpc. Integrated spectra extracted within R2500 provide temperature, abundance, and luminosity information. Under assumptions of hydrostatic equilibrium and spherical symmetry, we derive gas and total masses within R2500 and R200. We find an average gas mass fraction of fgas(R200) = 0.092 ± 0.004 h, resulting in Ωm = 0.42 ± 0.02 (formal error). We also derive dynamical masses for these clusters to R200. We find no systematic bias between X-ray and dynamical methods across the sample, with an average Mdyn/MX = 0.97 ± 0.05. We also compare X-ray masses to weak-lensing mass estimates of a subset of our sample, resulting in a weighted average of Mlens/MX of 0.99 ± 0.07. We investigate X-ray-scaling relationships and find power-law slopes that are slightly steeper than the predictions of self-similar models, with an E(z)-1LX-TX slope of 2.4 ± 0.2 and an E(z)M2500-TX slope of 1.7 ± 0.1. Relationships between red-sequence optical richness (Bgc,red) and global cluster X-ray properties (TX, LX, and M2500) are also examined and fitted.
Methylphenidate and thioridazine: learning, reaction time, activity, and classroom behavior in disturbed children.

Twelve emotionally disturbed underachieving boys in a special education class served as their own controls in a three-factor study: drug (methylphenidate, thioridazine, and placebo), dosage (low and high), and number of stimuli displayed. Methylphenidate significantly increased correct responding, decreased reaction times and hyperactivity, and significantly increased attention and cooperative behavior in the classroom.
Consequences of different patterns of feed intake during the estrous cycle in gilts on subsequent fertility.

The impact of different patterns of feed restriction between d 1 and 15 of the estrous cycle on subsequent reproductive performance of 23 trios of littermate gilts was tested. Some gilts were fed a high plane of nutrition (HH gilts) throughout the cycle, in contrast to HR gilts, which were restricted from d 8 to 15, and RH gilts, which were restricted from d 1 to 7. During feed restriction, weight gain in RH gilts (2.5 +/- .7 kg) was lower (P = .006) between d 1 and d 7 than in their HH and HR littermates (5.6 +/- .7 and 5.6 +/- .8 kg, respectively) and it was lower (P = .0001) in HR gilts (5.5 +/- .5 kg) between d 8 to d 15 than in their HH and RH counterparts (8.5 +/- .4 and 9.4 +/- .5 kg, respectively). There were no differences in backfat changes among groups. Embryonic survival in HR gilts at d 28 of gestation (68.3 +/- 4.8%) was lower (P < .05) than in HH and RH gilts (83.6 +/- 4.3 and 81.7 +/- 4.5%, respectively). Plasma progesterone concentrations in HR gilts were lower (P < .05) at 48 and 72 h after onset of standing estrus (.82 +/- .2 and 3.6 +/- .5 ng/mL, respectively) than in HH and RH gilts (1.44 +/- .2 and 1.24 +/- .2 ng/mL, 5.0 +/- .4 and 5.0 +/- .5 ng/mL, respectively at 48 and 72 h). No differences in ovulation rate were observed among treatments. Placental area was positively correlated to embryo size at d 28 (embryo size = .0003 x (area) + 18.35; r = . 28, P = . 03) but placental volume was negatively correlated to the number of embryos in utero (placental volume = -4.317 x (number) + 207.55, r = -. 39, P = . 002). These data demonstrate that the timing of feed restriction during follicular development has important consequences for subsequent embryo survival, possibly mediated by differences in progesterone concentrations in early pregnancy.
Recent Advances Relating to the Clinical Application of Naked Monoclonal Antibodies in Solid Tumors

This review focuses on the recent advances in clinical data regarding antibody-based therapy in the management of solid tumors. We also discuss perspectives on antibody-based therapy in the future. Thorough understanding of the complex interactions between components of the immunological response has led to interest in the concept of immune-mediated therapy for solid tumors. Over the last few years, several humanized and chimeric monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) targeting human epidermal receptor 2 (HER2), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have been employed in treating solid tumors, including breast, colorectal, lung, head and neck, and gynecologic cancers. Trastuzumab, bevacizumab, cetuximab, and panitumumab are MAbs that are most widely used in clinical practice with acceptable rates of adverse events. Combination of MAbs with small-molecule inhibitors of the same pathway could potentially increase the efficacy and specificity of antibody-based treatment. Immune-mediated effects may be further exploited with the use of bivalent molecules.
Effect of chlorhexidine/silver sulfadiazine-impregnated central venous catheters in an intensive care unit with a low blood stream infection rate after implementation of an educational program: a before-after trial.

BACKGROUND Current guidelines recommend using antiseptic- or antibiotic-impregnated central venous catheters (CVCs) if, following a comprehensive strategy to prevent catheter-related blood stream infection (CR-BSI), infection rates remain above institutional goals based on benchmark values. The purpose of this study was to determine if chlorhexidine/silver sulfadiazine-impregnated CVCs could decrease the CR-BSI rate in an intensive care unit (ICU) with a low baseline infection rate. METHODS Pre-intervention and post-intervention observational study in a 24-bed surgical/trauma/burn ICU from October, 2002 to August, 2005. All patients requiring CVC placement after March, 2004 had a chlorhexidine/silver sulfadiazine-impregnated catheter inserted (post-intervention period). RESULTS Twenty-three CR-BSIs occurred in 6,960 catheter days (3.3 per 1,000 catheter days)during the 17-month control period. After introduction of chlorhexidine/silver sulfadiazine-impregnated catheters, 16 CR-BSIs occurred in 7,732 catheter days (2.1 per 1,000 catheter days; p = 0.16). The average length of time required for an infection to become established after catheterization was similar in the two groups (8.4 vs. 8.6 days; p = 0.85). Chlorhexidine/silver sulfadiazine-impregnated catheters did not result in a statistically significant change in the microbiological profile of CR-BSIs, nor did they increase the incidence of resistant organisms. CONCLUSIONS Although chlorhexidine/silver sulfadiazine-impregnated catheters are useful in specific patient populations, they did not result in a statistically significant decrease in the CR-BSI rate in this study, beyond what was achieved with education alone.
Caring for Children and Adults: Differential Access to Family-friendly Work

The importance of parents having access to work arrangements that enable them to adequately care for their children is widely recognised and accepted. Much less attention has been given to the importance of creating work places that allow employees to provide care for elderly, disabled, or ill parents, spouses or other adults. As the population ages over the next few decades, increasing numbers of employees will be providing care for their parents or other adults. This paper presents evidence on the use of flexible work arrangements to provide adult care and how this compares to the use by those caring for children
Vertical Dengue Infection: Case Reports and Review

Two vertical dengue infection cases are presented, and 15 others are reviewed. Twelve mothers had fever 0–9 (median, 2) days antepartum. The fevers of 17 neonates occurred at 1–11 (median, 4) days of life and lasted for 1–5 (median, 3) days. Neonatal thrombocytopenia was detected at 1–11 (median, 6) days of life and lasted for 3–18 (median, 6) days; the lowest platelet counts were 5–75 × 103 (median, 19 × 103)/mm3. One neonate died.
The availability heuristic revisited: Ease of recall and content of recall as distinct sources of information.

According to Tversky and Kahneman's (1973, p. 208) availability heuristic, individuals estimate the frequency of an event or the likelihood of its occurrence “by the ease with which instances or associations come to mind. ” Although this heuristic has stimulated an enormous amount of research (see Sherman & Corty, 1984; Taylor, 1982, for reviews), the classic studies on the issue are ambiguous with regard to the underlying process. For example, in one of the better known studies, Tversky and Kahneman (1973, Experiment 3) observed that participants overestimated the number of words that begin with the letter r , but underestimated the number of words that have r as the third letter. They presumably did so because words that begin with a certain letter can be brought to mind more easily than words that have a certain letter in the third position. Note, however, that this differential ease of recall may influence participants' frequency estimates in two different ways. On one hand, participants may use the subjective experience of ease or difficulty of recall as a basis of judgment, as suggested by Tversky and Kahneman's (1973) description of the availability heuristic. If so, they would estimate a higher frequency if the recall task is experienced as easy rather than difficult. On the other hand, they may recall as many words of each type as possible within the time allotted to them and may base their judgment on the recalled sample of words.
Encapsulation of tocopherol and tocotrienol in vitamin-e using spray drying technique

The encapsulation technology by spray drying technique was applied to protect vitamin E from unfavourable environment and to minimize the degree of vitamin E degradation. Vitamin E microencapsules were produced using a blend of maltodextrin and sodium caseinate as wall materials. The surface morphology of the microcapsules was observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy, which demonstrated a tendency of agglomeration. The outer surfaces of the capsules showed only a few pores or cracks. The particles sizes measured were the range of 13 11m to 29 11m. The tocopherol encapsulation efficiency and tocopherol retention after spray drying were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. About 52-70% of tocopherol encapsulation efficiency has been achieved.
Stress-related psychological factors for back pain among athletes: Important topic with scarce evidence

Abstract Health issues represent a frequent problem for athletes, as this particular demographic is repeatedly confronted with physically and psychologically stressful situations. Back pain (BP) materialises as comparatively common health problem being regarded as functionally limiting and psychologically straining burden for athletes. According to research conducted on athletes with BP, biomechanical and physiological mechanisms emerge as influential, whereas stress-related psychological factors appear to be neglected. For athletic injuries, the essential impact of psychological processes on injury occurrence and return from injury has already been corroborated. Hence, the aim of this literature review is to: (1) introduce a conceptual differentiation between injuries and BP; (2) summarise the results obtained regarding stress-related psychological aspects for injuries; and (3) connect the injury research to the state-of-the-art evidence regarding stress-related factors for BP among athletes. A distinction between injuries and BP could be established based on previous definitions, despite the fact that a considerable overlap between both concepts prevails. Injuries can be attributed to a physical origin, whereas BP frequently lacks this physical criterion. For BP, our enquiry yielded four studies including psychological measures of stress – with two studies specifically examining the association between BP and psychological stress among athletes longitudinally. Abundant findings from the general population support the importance of considering psychological and specifically stress-related factors in BP prevention and rehabilitation, but evidence related to the athletic field remains elusive. Further scientific investigations with a wider methodological approach are needed to deepen the knowledge about the crucial relationship between psychological stress, BP, and athletes.
Under Consideration for Publication in J. Functional Programming Efficient Manipulation of Binary Data Using Pattern Matching *

Pattern matching is an important operation in functional programs. So far, pattern matching has been investigated in the context of structured terms. This article presents an approach to extend pattern matching to terms without (much of a) structure such as binaries which is the kind of data format that network applications typically manipulate. After introducing the binary datatype and a notation for matching binary data against patterns, we present an algorithm that constructs a decision tree automaton from a set of binary patterns. We then show how the pattern matching using this tree automaton can be made adaptive, how redundant tests can be avoided, and how we can further reduce the size of the resulting automaton by taking interferences between patterns into account. Since the size of the tree automaton is exponential in the worst case, we also present an alternative new approach to compiling binary pattern matching which is conservative in space and analyze its complexity properties. The effectiveness of our techniques is evaluated using standard packet filter benchmarks and on implementations of network protocols taken from actual telecom applications.
Hospital Admissions for Childhood Asthma After Smoke-Free Legislation in England

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether the implementation of English smoke-free legislation in July 2007 was associated with a reduction in hospital admissions for childhood asthma. METHODS: Interrupted time series study using Hospital Episodes Statistics data from April 2002 to November 2010. Sample consisted of all children (aged ≤14 years) having an emergency hospital admission with a principle diagnosis of asthma. RESULTS: Before the implementation of the legislation, the admission rate for childhood asthma was increasing by 2.2% per year (adjusted rate ratio 1.02; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02–1.03). After implementation of the legislation, there was a significant immediate change in the admission rate of −8.9% (adjusted rate ratio 0.91; 95% CI: 0.89–0.93) and change in time trend of −3.4% per year (adjusted rate ratio 0.97; 95% CI: 0.96–0.98). This change was equivalent to 6802 fewer hospital admissions in the first 3 years after implementation. There were similar reductions in asthma admission rates among children from different age, gender, and socioeconomic status groups and among those residing in urban and rural locations. CONCLUSIONS: These findings confirm those from a small number of previous studies suggesting that the well-documented population health benefits of comprehensive smoke-free legislation appear to extend to reducing hospital admissions for childhood asthma.
Gestalt perception modulates early visual processing

We examined whether early visual processing reflects perceptual properties of a stimulus in addition to physical features. We recorded event-related potentials (ERPs) of 13 subjects in a visual classification task. We used four different stimuli which were all composed of four identical elements. One of the stimuli constituted an illusory Kanizsa square, another was composed of the same number of collinear line segments but the elements did not form a Gestalt. In addition, a target and a control stimulus were used which were arranged differently. These stimuli allow us to differentiate the processing of co-linear line elements (stimulus features) and illusory figures (perceptual properties). The visual N170 in response to the illusory figure was significantly larger as compared to the other collinear stimulus. This is taken to indicate that the visual N170 reflects cognitive processes of Gestalt perception in addition to attentional processes and physical stimulus properties.
The Influence of Individualist-Collectivist Values, Attitudes Toward Women, and Proenvironmental Orientation on Landscape Preference

The purpose of this study was to explore individual variables affecting preferences for natural or managed landscapes. Environmental attitudes and value systems of student participants (N = 147) were assessed using the revised New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale and the Scenarios for the Measurement of Collectivism and Individualism (SMCI) scale, respectively. In addition, feminist orientation was assessed using the Attitudes toward Woman scale (AWS). The hypothesis that proenvironmental attitudes would be positively correlated with a preference for natural landscapes was supported. However, hypotheses that alignment with collectivist values would correlate positively with a preference for natural landscapes and that a feminist orientation would be positively correlated with a preference for natural landscapes were not supported. Demographic variables are discussed with respect to landscape preference. Caveats of the individualism-collectivism variable are also discussed. The Influence of Individualist-Collectivist Values, Attitudes toward Women, and Proenvironmental Orientation on Landscape Preference Environmental issues have developed increasing importance within many academic fields, including Psychology. The study of landscape preference has moved research toward an environmental perspective and the study of proenvironmental attitudes is ensuring the significance of environmental issues in future research. With regard to landscape preference, previous studies have found that preferences for natural landscapes vary by culture (Herzog, Herbert, Kaplan, & Crooks, 2000; Kaplan & Herbert, 1987; Peron, Purcell, Staats, Falchero, & Lamb, 1998). With regard to environmental attitudes, proenvironmental orientation varies by culture as well (Clayton, 2003; Deng, Walker, & Swinnerton, 2006; Olofsson & Ohman, 2006; Vikan, Camino, Biaggio, & Nordvick, 2007). Gender has also been shown to influence environmental attitudes (Acury, 1990; Blaikie, 1992; Deng et al., 2006; Mainieri, Barnett, Valdero, Unipan, & Oskamp, 1997; Zelezny, Chua, & Aldrich, 2000). However, previous research has not fully explored how environmental attitudes impact landscape preferences. Dominant Western Worldview A brief foray into the Western World's environmental history begins, here, with the Dominant Western Worldview. The basic assumption ofthis worldview is that humans are fundamentally different from and ultimately in control of the natural world (Buttel, 1987). The advent of this worldview began with a shift in religious belief from Paganism to Christianity. Pagan religious thought held that nature was to be revered and worshiped, whereas, Christian religious thought held nature not as sacred, but as hostile
