Cesarean Delivery for a Life-threatening Preterm Placental Abruption

Placental abruption is one of the major life-threatening obstetric conditions. The fetomaternal outcome of a severe placental abruption depends largely on prompt maternal resuscitation and delivery. A case of severe preterm placental abruption with intrauterine fetal death. Following a failed induction of labor with a deteriorating maternal condition despite resuscitation, emergency cesarean delivery was offered with good maternal outcome. Cesarean delivery could avert further disease progression and possible maternal death in cases of severe preterm placental abruption where vaginal delivery is not imminent. However, further studies are necessary before this could be recommended for routine clinical practice.
Confidence in their own ability: postgraduate early childhood students examining their attitudes towards inclusive education

This study explores reflections of a group of postgraduate early childhood students in relation to their self‐reported attitudes towards inclusive education. Participant self‐reported attitudes towards inclusive education were measured using an adapted version of the Attitudes Toward Inclusive Education Scale (ATIES) and an adapted version of the Concerns about Inclusive Education Scale (CIES). Data were collected at the commencement and conclusion of a university unit focused on difference and disability. Within this unit, participants undertook individual self‐directed projects in which they identified, researched and provided recommendations to address issues of particular concern to them in relation to inclusive early childhood education. Participants’ written reflections were also examined in the context of the quantitative data in order to provide greater insight into the changing attitudes of pre‐service early childhood teachers over the course of one university semester. The findings of this provide some evidence to suggest that engaging in self‐reflection on attitudes and beliefs, along with developing practical skills for educating children of diverse abilities, may lead to more positive views of inclusive education. Furthermore, the importance of developing confidence in the ability to teach all children is highlighted through the student comments and responses to the ATIES and CIES.
Pigmentosis Tubae, a New Entity: Light and Electron Microscopic Study

The authors noted an unusual finding in the fallopian tubes of a 31-year-old woman who had received external and internal whole pelvis radiotherapy fqr squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. Aggregates of macrophages containing pigment, identified in a subepithelial location, were reminiscent of melanosis coli, which is caused by abuse of anthracene-containing laxatives. Electron microscopic examination of the pigment revealed cytoplasmic material with the appearance of lipofuscin, identical to the pigment described in cases of colonic melanosis. After a careful study of possible etiologic agents, it was concluded that the pigment most likely resulted from cellular damage caused by radiotherapy. The authors are not aware of any other reported case of this entity, which will be called pigmentosis tubae. (Obstet Gynecol 61-.80S, 1983)
Threats to the External Validity of Brand Extension Research

The findings of prior research suggest that a brand's extendibility is constrained by the degree of perceived fit between the brand and extension product categories. However, there are many examples of brands that have been extended successfully into “perceptually distant” domains. Drawing on theories of consumer information processing and product adoption, the authors identify three background traits of prior work that may help explain the discrepancy between prior research and marketplace observation: (1) limited extension information, (2) failure to account for consumers' new product adoption tendencies (i.e., earlier versus later), and (3) single exposure to proposed extensions. In this study, the authors find that the effects of fit disappear when attribute information is added to extension stimuli and are applicable only for later product adopters. The authors also find that perceived fit increases with greater exposure to an extension. Beyond implications for brand extension research, this study underscores the need to recognize that certain research design factors related to external validity, which are often assumed irrelevant, can alter what is held to be true.
Venous and arterial occlusive disease treated by enzymatic clot lysis.

Acute and chronic arterial occlusion (35 cases) and venous occlusion (23 cases) were treated by infusions of purified streptokinase. Success was judged by angiography. Twenty-two patients with venous occlusion completed streptokinase therapy. Of ten patients with thrombosis of less than 14 days, lysis occurred in all. After two weeks but less than three weeks, the conditions of five of seven improved. Thrombi older than three weeks responded in two of six cases. Five cases of early thrombosis unresponsive radiologically to heparin sodium responded favorably to streptokinase. Therapy in the 35 patients with arterial occlusion was successful in 16. Patients with a history of sudden onset of pain or claudication responded favorably. Improvement often occurred without angiographic change. Bleeding from puncture wounds was a minor complication. Stroke, coronary occlusion, and concealed bleeding were fatal in three cases.
Emergent Topology Control Based on Division of Labour in Ants

Advances in the area of wireless sensor networks enable a myriad of new applications. Communication is however still the most costly function in these networks. Regions with higher node density lead to a greater amount of energy waste through overhearing, collisions, etc., while not increasing the network's capacity. Therefore, we propose an emergent approach to topology control reducing the number of active nodes in such areas. Facing the necessity to minimize the amount of data exchanged for achieving this goal, given the high cost of communication, the approach is motivated by the division of labour observed in ants promising lower overhead, more robustness and better scalability. Nodes actively involved in network operation are modeled as transporters, other nodes as workers. State changes are realized using a response function incorporating a response threshold and stimulus. The response threshold determines the tendency of a node to respond to a stimulus and reflects the ability to perform a state change. The intensity of stimulus is determined by quantitative cues perceived
Developing an empowering approach to child care teaching

This paper describes the thinking and planning involved in the teaching of a module entitled 'Working with Children, their Families and Carers', on the DipSW programme in the West of Scotland. It outlines the reasons, both educational and professional, behind the approach that was adopted and explains how a combination of problem-based learning and reflective practice enabled students to develop a clearer understanding of their professional competence.
Expectations and post‐school choice: some data from India

The incentive structure, consequent on the institutional structure, significantly influences expectations. However, in this context, differences in individual perceptions of opportunities and capacities to pursue them broadly relate to socio‐economic background, school and community‐related factors. The main finding on the relationship between expectations and post‐school choice is that an overwhelming majority of students expect significant improvement in income, career opportunities, social prestige and marriage prospects, regardless of intended post‐school choice. There is very little variation in response across groups. However, whether an individual actually goes to college will depend on his/her capacity to act on an opportunity.
Trajectory Analysis of Copper and Glass Particles in Electrostatic Separation for the Recycling of ASR

Automobile-shredder-residue (ASR) recycling techniques have been widely applied for improving the total recycling rate of end-of-life vehicles. In this study, to obtain useful information for predicting or improving ASR-separation efficiency, trajectory analyses of conductors (copper) and non-conductors (glass) were performed using a lab-scale induction electrostatic separator. The copper-wire trajectories obtained showed a good agreement depending significantly on the electric field strength and particle size. The observed copper-wire trajectories showed consistent congruity with the coarse-particles simulation (0.5 and 0.25 mm). The observed fine-particles (0.06 mm) trajectory was deflected toward the (−) attractive electrode, owing to the charge density effects due to the particle characteristics and relative humidity. This results in superior separation performance because more copper enters the conductor products bin. The actual dielectric-glass trajectory was deflected toward the (−) attractive electrode, thus showing characteristics similar to conductive-particle characteristics. Through analyses conducted using a stereoscopic microscope, scanning electron microscope, and energy dispersive spectroscope, we found heterogeneous materials (fine ferrous particles and conductive organics) on the glass surface. This demonstrates the separation-efficiency decrease for non-ferrous metals during electrostatic separation in the recycling of ASR. Future work should include a pretreatment process for eliminating impurities from the glass and advanced trajectory-simulation processes.
ukogram abnormalities in gnotobiotic pigs infected with porcine covirus type 2 §

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a single-stranded circular DNA virus that is the causative agent of porcine circovirus associated disease (PCVAD), a disease complex affecting swine around the world. Although this virus is believed to negatively affect the host’s immune system, the mechanism by which PCV2 induces disease is not completely understood. This report describes a series of PCV2 experiments using the gnotobiotic pig model in which a relationship was demonstrated between abnormal leukograms and development of clinical disease in PCV2-infected pigs. When compared to control pigs the leukogram was characterized by a decrease in lymphocytes within 14 days post inoculation (dpi) followed by an increase in neutrophils 7–14 days later. No significant changes in the circulating monocyte, basophil, and eosinophil cell populations were detected. The combination of an absolute neutrophilia and lymphopenia produced a neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio that was predictive of clinical disease and was inversely correlated with the presence of neutralizing antibodies. Based on previous reports, the lymphopenia may be attributed to a direct cytolytic effect of the virus and could negatively affect the pig’s immune response. The role of the neutrophilia in the pathogenesis of PCVAD in gnotobiotic pigs is unknown. Published by Elsevier B.V.

LONG SHEATHS FOR ENDOMYOCARDIAL BIOPSY VIA FEMORAL APPROACH

Background-Endomyocardial biopsy has long been a useful tool to evaluate myocardial diseases. It is a gold standard in diagnosing cardiac rejection and certain types of myocarditis, but there is always a risk for related complications. We have assessed the safety and feasibility of applying long sheaths in endomyocardial biopsy via the femoral approach. Methods-We performed endomyocardial biopsy in 63 patients via the femoral approach and used a long sheath to guide bioptome from the venous access to the interventricular septum and evaluate the procedure success and complications.

Comparison of Task- and Relation-Oriented Individuals' Ability to Perceive Viewpoints of others

Undergraduate education students (28 males, 104 females) were administered Fiedler's Least Preferred Co-worker Scale. Those who scored greater than = ½ SD from the mean were administered a modified version of Laurendeau and Pinard's Coordination of Perspectives Test, a measure of perception of viewpoints of others in respect to the arrangement of objects. That high scoring subjects perceive the viewpoints of others more accurately than low scoring subjects was supported.
Imperatives and challenges in integrating teaching and research

This paper explores why it is important for universities to integrate research and teaching at the present time and considers how it can be achieved. Political, institutional and disciplinary factors affect the relationship, whether the aim is to integrate teaching with research or to integrate research with teaching. So the article explores factors that facilitate and factors that discourage integration. By way of providing an example of implementation, imperatives and challenges in developing this relationship at a large research‐intensive Australian university are outlined. Finally, the paper draws some general implications from this discussion to suggest where moves by disciplinary communities to integrate research and teaching might be heading.
Control Strategies of a DC Microgrid for Grid Connected and Islanded Operations

This paper proposes an algorithm for coordinated control of the distributed generators integrated to a dc microgrid (DCMG), in islanded and grid connected modes of operation. The proposed DCMG connects various types of nonconventional energy sources, storage system to the dc, and three-phase, as well as single-phase ac loads. A control strategy for three-phase voltage source inverter to integrate the three-phase load, as well as utility grid into the DCMG, under various operating scenarios, has also been proposed. The proposed control strategy uses a combination of the feed-back and feed-forward control loops. Dual proportional integral controllers for ac voltage regulation and inner current control have been suggested in two rotating direct- and quadrature- axis synchronous reference frames for controlling the respective positive and negative sequence components. Simulations are carried out to verify the robustness of the proposed algorithm and control strategy under different operating conditions including fault scenario and its effectiveness in maintaining the dc voltage of the microgrid.
The Role Checklist: Development and Empirical Assessment of Reliability

This article describes the development and reliability testing of the Role Checklist, a two-part written inventory designed to identify past, present, and future roles and the degree to which individuals value each role. Roles included provide expectations and/or opportunities for occupational behavior, such as student, worker, volunteer, care giver, home maintainer, friend, family member, religious participant, hobbyist/amateur, and participant in organizations. To assess reliability, we administered the checklist twice to a group of 124 normal volunteers ranging in age from 18 to 79. Values obtained for kappa and weighted kappa, measures of agreement that correct for chance agreement, suggested moderate or better agreement for Parts 1 and 2 of the checklist. We concluded, therefore, that the checklist has satisfactory test/retest reliability.
Using the mouse grimace scale to assess pain associated with routine ear notching and the effect of analgesia in laboratory mice

Social housing is recommended where possible for laboratory mice. In order to achieve this, mice must be individually identifiable. Although, various methods are available, permanent identification is often required, such as ear notching. This method is likely to be painful and to date there is limited literature on pain assessment and alleviation for this routine husbandry practice. Here we aimed to determine if the mouse grimace scale (MGS) could be used to assess pain in C57BL/6 mice following routine ear notching. Langford et al. found that very acute noxious stimuli (i.e. < 10 min in duration) did not produce a change in MGS score in comparison to baseline. Here, no significant difference was found between MGS scores at baseline and immediately post ear notching, potentially indicating that the pain associated with ear notching is either too acute to assess using the MGS tool or the practice is not painful. Studies in other species indicate that ear notching is painful, therefore, unless we can confidently conclude that the process of ear notching is not painful, we should err on the side of caution and assume it is painful due to the large number of mice ear-notched and potential welfare consequences. Alternative methods of assessing pain following this routine practice should be used in order to assess both the potential pain in mice, and the effectiveness of analgesics or local anaesthetics to relieve any associated pain.
Vaccine-induced pathogen strain replacement: what are the mechanisms?

Host immune systems impose natural selection on pathogen populations, which respond by evolving different antigenic signatures. Like many evolutionary processes, pathogen evolution reflects an interaction between different levels of selection; pathogens can win in between-strain competition by taking over individual hosts (within-host level) or by infecting more hosts (population level). Vaccination, which intensifies and modifies selection by protecting hosts against one or more pathogen strains, can drive the emergence of new dominant pathogen strains—a phenomenon called vaccine-induced pathogen strain replacement. Here, we review reports of increased incidence of subdominant variants after vaccination campaigns and extend the current model for pathogen strain replacement, which assumes that pathogen strain replacement occurs only through the differential effectiveness of vaccines against different pathogen strains. Based on a recent theoretical study, we suggest a broader range of possible mechanisms, some of which allow pathogen strain replacement even when vaccines are perfect—that is, they protect all vaccinated individuals completely against all pathogen strains. We draw an analogy with ecological and evolutionary explanations for competitive dominance and coexistence that allow for tradeoffs between different competitive and life-history traits.
The effects of perceived organizational support and perceived supervisor support on employee turnover

This study examines mediated effects of perceived supervisor support (PSS) and perceived organizational support (POS) on turnover cognitions, and their interactive effects on turnover behavior in a sample of 225 social services workers. In this study, we address a seeming contradiction in current findings regarding support and attachments to managers versus attachments to the organization itself. The POS literature suggests fully mediated causal paths to turnover from POS and PSS, through affective commitment. Whereas, the commitment, LMX, and turnover literatures suggest alternative causal paths that imply broader effects for POS and PSS on turnover. Contrary to earlier POS literature, findings showed that PSS had independent effects on turnover cognitions not mediated through POS. Model tests also indicated that POS had significant effects on turnover mediated through normative commitment, as well as affective organizational commitment. Moreover, a new significant interactive relationship was discovered such that low PSS strengthened the negative relationship between POS and turnover, while high PSS weakened it. Implications for research and practice are discussed. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Pragmatic Variation in Corner Store Interactions in Quito and Madrid

This paper studies pragmatic variation in comer store interactions in Quito and Madrid, based on audio recordings in both cities. It focuses on variation in expressing interpersonal concerns in both contexts through the analysis of utterances of requests (for a product) and the sequences in which such requests are embedded. Concerning request realization and with reference to Blum-Kulka et al.'s (1989) framework, direct forms were most commonly employed by both Quiteflos and Madrilenos. Quitefios use much more internal modification. Regarding the sequences in which requests are embedded, Quitenos produce longer preambles, engaging in more person-oriented activities than Madrilenos. Overall Quitenos display more and a wider range of interpersonal concerns. The differences identified are interpreted as reflecting different perceptions of the service encounter by the two groups, with Quitenos preferring more personalized service.
A social influence perspective on expressive political participation in Twitter: the case of #OccupyGezi

The aim of this research is to contribute to the growing literature on online political participation by seeking a better understanding of the social determinants of action that drive expressive political participation in Twitter. Our results revealed that social influence variables explain a significant portion of variance in online political participation independently from the antecedents identified by prior literature. While social identity and group norms were significantly related with political expressive participation in Twitter, subjective norms had no significant effect. Findings are discussed within the scope of Gezi Park protests and future research directions are suggested.
The Positive Consequences of Negative Stereotypes

How do marginalized social categories, such as being black and gay, combine with one another in the production of discrimination? While much extant research assumes that combining marginalized social categories results in a “double disadvantage,” I argue that in the case of race and sexual orientation the opposite may be true. This article posits that stereotypes about gay men as effeminate and weak will counteract common negative stereotypes held by whites that black men are threatening and criminal. Thus, I argue that being gay will have negative consequences for white men in the job application process, but that being gay will actually have positive consequences for black men in this realm. This hypothesis is tested using data from a survey experiment in which respondents were asked to evaluate resumes for a job opening where the race and sexual orientation of the applicants were experimentally manipulated. The findings contribute to important theoretical debates about stereotypes, discrimination, and intersecting social identities.
Social image tag recommendation by concept matching

Tags associated with social images are valuable information source for superior image search and retrieval experiences. In this paper, we propose a novel tag recommendation technique that exploits the user-given tags associated with images. Each candidate tag to be recommended is described by a few tag concepts derived from the collective knowledge embedded in the tag co-occurrence pairs. Each concept, represented by a few tags with high co-occurrences among themselves, is indexed as a textual document. Then user-given tags of an image is represented as a text query and the matching concepts are retrieved from the index. The candidate tags associated with the matching concepts are then recommended. Leverages on the well studied Information Retrieval (IR) techniques, the proposed approach leads to superior tag recommendation accuracy and lower execution time compared to the state-of-the-art.
