Australian and New Zealand Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Treatment of Anorexia Nervosa

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a serious and potentially fatal mental illness. Its key feature is deliberate loss of weight through strict dieting and avoidance of foods perceived to be fattening. Food intake is restricted, despite severe hunger. Perception of physiological signals of hunger becomes confused, including when one is satiated. Excessive exercise and uncontrolled hyperactivity are common, in addition to extreme weight control behaviours, including purging through means of self-induced vomiting (e.g. using an emetic), eating large quantities of fibrous foods and consuming laxatives, appetite suppressants or diuretics [1,2] (Table 1). Diagnostic criteria of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Classification of Disease (ICD) 10th edition [3], are cited here (in preference the DSM-IV [4]) as we thought them more useful and less likely to be changed in the near future.

The role of engagement in inspiring teaching and learning

The aim of the paper is to integrate notions of the improvement of student learning through a focus on the concept of engagement, and adds to that broader discussion through a recent empirical study of the perceptions of students gathered through a case study in a UK university. It is proposed that student engagement lies on a continuum from disengaged to engaged, and also exists at a number of levels within which the same student may exhibit different degrees of engagement. We argue that if the built‐in alienating influences within higher education are to be countered, multi‐faceted engagement is required. Learners, we conclude, are more likely to engage if they in turn are supported by teaching staff who engage with: students, with the subject, and with the teaching process, and furthermore that the classroom teacher requires support in achieving this.
The design and implementation of a physical education program to promote children’s creativity in the early years

The purpose of this study was to design and implement a physical education program to promote creativity in preschool children. The study was based on the following phases: (a) to design and formulate 20 physical education lessons in order to provide children with opportunities to develop their creative thinking through the use of movement elements, motor skills and movement exploration; (b) to train early educators to be able to implement the proposed physical education program; (c) to undertake an initial evaluation of preschoolers; (d) to implement the program; and (e) to undertake a final evaluation of preschoolers. Two hundred and fifty‐one children, aged four to five years, were randomly selected from 12 preschool centers and participated in the 10‐week physical education program. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected and estimated with a pre‐ and post‐program creative thinking evaluation. The results showed that children improved their creative fluency and imagination and useful information was provided by children’s behavior during their participation in the proposed physical education program.
Joint cache-channel coding over erasure broadcast channels

We consider a cache-aided communications system in which a transmitter communicates with many receivers over an erasure broadcast channel. The system serves as a basic model for communicating on-demand content during periods of high network congestion, where some content can be pre-placed in local caches near the receivers. We formulate the cache-aided communications problem as a joint cache-channel coding problem, and characterise some information-theoretic tradeoffs between reliable communications rates and cache sizes. We show that if the receivers experience different channel qualities, then using unequal cache sizes and joint cache-channel coding improves system efficiency.
Articulation rate and vowel space characteristics of young males with fragile X syndrome: preliminary acoustic findings.

PURPOSE Increased speaking rate is a commonly reported perceptual characteristic among males with fragile X syndrome (FXS). The objective of this preliminary study was to determine articulation rate-one component of perceived speaking rate-and vowel space characteristics of young males with FXS. METHOD Young males with FXS (n = 38), developmental age (DA)-matched males (n = 21), and chronological age (CA)-matched males (n = 16) were audiotaped while engaged in spontaneous conversation and a picture-naming task. Articulation rate in syllables per second during intelligible utterances and vowel space area/dispersion measures were acoustically determined for each speaker. RESULTS Males with FXS did not articulate significantly faster than CA-matched males. Area and dispersion of the acoustic vowel space also were similar between the 2 groups. Males with FXS, however, used significantly shorter utterances and had a tendency to pause less often than CA-matched males. In addition, males with FXS exhibited greater intraspeaker variability of formants associated with the vowel /a/. CONCLUSIONS These preliminary findings suggest that articulation rate may not be a primary factor contributing to perceived speaking rate of males with FXS. Limitations of the study relative to speech production tasks and utterance intelligibility are discussed.
Renal function with delayed or immediate cyclosporine microemulsion in combination with enteric‐coated mycophenolate sodium and steroids: results of follow up to 30 months post‐transplant

Abstract: Background: In the multicenter, open‐label Myriade study, renal transplant patients were randomized to early cyclosporine microemulsion (CsA‐ME, day 0) or delayed CsA‐ME (day 6) with enteric‐coated mycophenolate sodium (EC‐MPS), steroids and interleukin‐2 receptor induction. One‐yr results have been published previously. We now report the results of an extension study in which patients were followed up for a period of three yr post‐transplant.
A Field Study of Job Insecurity during a Financial Crisis

A major trend in the workplace is a recognition of the increasingly temporary nature of the work relationship. Even universities, which have traditionally offered long-termjob security in the form of academic tenure, are not immune from that trend. Some universities no longer offer tenure, and financial pressures sometimes threaten the job security of tenured faculty. The increased focus on the temporary nature of the work relationship may lead to a sense of job insecurity among employees. The present study examined antecedents and outcomes of job insecurity following significant budget cuts at a major university. Perceptions of receiving sufficient and accurate information from organizational sources, tenure status, and tolerance for ambiguity predicted job insecurity. Job insecurity, in turn, predicted job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and withdrawal behaviors. Turnover for a 2-year period following the budget cuts was predicted by survey variables.
Subjective responses to alcohol in the lab predict neural responses to alcohol cues.

OBJECTIVE Subjective responses to alcohol represent a biologically based, genetically moderated, and clinically informative marker of alcoholism risk; however, the physiology underlying this phenotype remains unclear. This study tested whether subjective responses during alcohol administration predict neural responses to alcohol cues in the scanner and whether these neural responses differ between OPRM1 genotypes. METHOD Twenty alcohol-dependent individuals were recruited (10 G-allele carriers; 6 women; Mage = 29.4) for a within-subjects alcohol administration in the laboratory and a functional magnetic resonance imaging session consisting of an alcohol taste cues task. Laboratory assessments of alcohol high, liking, craving, and positive and negative reinforcement during alcohol administration were entered as predictors of neural response to the presentation of alcohol cues versus water cues in the scanner and further tested for OPRM1 genotype moderation (whole-brain cluster-corrected at Z > 1.96, p < .05). RESULTS Alcohol craving during alcohol administration predicted less neural activity, whereas alcohol reinforcement predicted greater neural activity to alcohol cues versus water cues in regions including the precuneus, posterior cingulate gyrus, and lingual gyrus. Alcohol high predicted greater neural activity to alcohol cues in regions including the precuneus and anterior cingulate cortex. OPRM1 genotype was found to moderate these relationships. No results were observed for alcohol liking. CONCLUSIONS This study provides initial evidence that subjective responses to alcohol, namely craving, high, and the reinforcing properties of alcohol, predict neural markers of alcohol cue reactivity. These results support the validity of laboratory and neuroimaging measures of subjective responses to alcohol and offer an integration of these methods in a sample of alcohol-dependent individuals.
Simultaneous Rectification and Alignment via Robust Recovery of Low-rank Tensors

In this work, we propose a general method for recovering low-rank three-order tensors, in which the data can be deformed by some unknown transformation and corrupted by arbitrary sparse errors. Since the unfolding matrices of a tensor are interdependent, we introduce auxiliary variables and relax the hard equality constraints by the augmented Lagrange multiplier method. To improve the computational efficiency, we introduce a proximal gradient step to the alternating direction minimization method. We have provided proof for the convergence of the linearized version of the problem which is the inner loop of the overall algorithm. Both simulations and experiments show that our methods are more efficient and effective than previous work. The proposed method can be easily applied to simultaneously rectify and align multiple images or videos frames. In this context, the state-of-the-art algorithms "RASL" and "TILT" can be viewed as two special cases of our work, and yet each only performs part of the function of our method.
Patriotic history and the politicisation of memory: manipulation of popular music to re-invent the liberation struggle in Zimbabwe1

Abstract This paper investigates how the music nationalism promulgated by the ZANU-PF regime's former Minister of Information and Publicity, Jonathan Moyo, appropriated history and culture in its relentless effort to convince the citizenry that the on-going crisis in Zimbabwe is a continuation of the liberation struggle. It documents how Moyo's propagandised ‘patriotic history’ was written into song lyrics and used in frequently televised propaganda videos and CD/cassette releases to create a music nationalism that appropriated the music of the 1970s Second Chimurenga struggle, then performed to resist colonial oppression, and used it as propaganda intended to maintain the current oppressive regime's grip on political power. It argues that the appropriation of indigenous song/dance forms and the ‘chimurenga music’ of the liberation war has failed to achieve unification of the nation; and that rather, the propaganda's manipulation of memory has offended the Shona cultural aesthetic that requires songwriters to speak the truth of their experience in their music.
Evaluating a large-scale implementation of Assessment for Learning in Sweden

This study reports on a large-scale implementation of Assessment for Learning (AfL) in a Swedish municipality. The implementation was founded on two principles: (1) teaching should be informed by educational research; (2) to be successful teachers’ professional development needs to be based in everyday classroom practice. From these principles, AfL was chosen as a strand of educational research to inform teaching and ‘Teacher Learning Communities’ were chosen as a vehicle for professional development and for implementing AfL practices. Findings indicate that the project has been successful in bringing about a change in how teachers talk about teaching and learning and in changing teachers’ pedagogical practice towards AfL. Findings also suggest that AfL practices are mostly teacher-centred, which means that the teachers still take most of the responsibility for the assessment. This leads to high workload for the teachers and may also hinder students from taking responsibility for their learning.
Effect of dorzolamide/timolol combination on the visual field in glaucoma

Purpose To evaluate the effect of treatment for 3 years with a dorzolamide/timolol (1%/0.5%) fixed combination (DTFC) on visual field progression in patients with open-angle glaucoma. Participants A total of 14 consecutive patients were enrolled who had been previously treated with monotherapy or any combination of a beta blocker, carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, and/or prostaglandin analog for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG; n=4) or normal-tension glaucoma (NTG; n=10). Methods Patients were switched to DTFC from their prior glaucoma therapy. The IOP was measured at intervals of 4–6 weeks, and the visual fields were examined at least twice a year for 3 years. The annual change of mean deviation (MD slope) was used to quantify visual field loss. Results The mean MD value was −5.9±5.0 dB at baseline; it was −5.6±4.8 dB at 12 months, −5.9±5.0 dB at 24 months, and −5.6±5.1 dB at 36 months after switching. The mean MD slope was −0.2±0.8 dB/year before switching and 0.3±1.3 dB/year from baseline to 1 year, −0.3±1.1 dB/year from 1–2 years, and 0.3±0.9 dB/year from 2–3 years after switching. The mean MD slope from baseline to 36 months was correlated with the IOP reduction rate at 36 months after switching. Visual field progression was associated with the IOP reduction rate at 12 months after switching. Conclusion Switching to DTFC from prior glaucoma therapy improved the MD slope for at least 3 years. Reduction of the IOP after switching to DTFC was effective for delaying visual field progression. Although our study was not nonrandomized and was small in scale, the findings suggest that DTFC might have a beneficial effect on the visual fields in patients with open-angle glaucoma.
A sensate liner for personnel monitoring applications

This program develops and demonstrates technologies useful for implementing a manageable cost effective systems approach to monitoring the medical condition of personnel by way of an instrumented uniform hereafter referred to as a Sensate Liner (SL). The SL consists of a form fitting garment which contains and interconnects sensing elements and devices to an electronics pack containing a processor and transmitter. The SL prototype requires fiber, textile, garment and sensor development. The SL textile consists of a mesh of electrically and optically conductive fibers integrated into the normal structure (woven or knitted) of fibers and yarns selected for comfort and durability. A suite of SL garment compatible embedded biological and physical sensors are then integrated into the SL. The initial SL sensor suite is selected to improve triage for combat casualties. Additional SL sensor concepts for medical monitoring are discussed.
Exact path sensitization in timing analysis

of a direct implementation of this criterion. This paper presents the first critical path finding tool based on the exact criterion. It offers therefore better results in comparison with all other approaches, since these are based on approximations of this criterion. Timing verification is an important aspect in chip design. However, the growing complexity of combinational circuits increases the total number of false paths, which demands fast and accurate false path elimination methods. Several approaches have been presented in literature, but all are based on approximations of the exact criterion, and offer no exact results. This paper presents the first implementation of the exact criterion. Experiments show that this tool is much more accurate in comparison with other approaches. The rest of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 discusses the exact and other criteria. A description of the proposed algorithm is given in section 3. Then the two steps responsible for eliminating false paths will be described in section 4. Section 5 discusses the results obtained by the proposed tool. Finally we will finish this paper with the conclusions of section 6. 1. Introduction maximum operational frequency of a circuit is determined by the maximum propagation delay of its combinational parts, which is defined as the longest delay it takes for a signal to propagate from a primary input to a primary output. In other words, the maximum delay of a combinational part is equal to the length of its critical paths. A straightforward approach to compute the length of the critical paths is to simulate the combinational circuit for all possible input vectors (vector dependent approach). However, since the number of different input vectors increases exponentially with the number of inputs, this approach is only feasible for to circuits with only a few primary inputs. The first approach to compute the length of the critical paths, without simulating all input vectors (vector independent approach), was based on the PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) algorithm [1]. Since this approach determines the longest path without taking the logical dependencies into account, it is very likely to find a false path. The PERT delay was therefore used as an upper bound for the length of the critical paths. However, the growing complexity and integration of combinational circuits started to demand tighter bounds. This has resulted in different timing analysis (or critical path finding) approaches, each one based on a different path sensitization criterion. The static criterion [2] provides a lower bound, while others [3-6] offer an upper bound. The viability criterion [7] gives the exact delay of the critical paths.
Money in heterosexual relationships

Money in middle-income Anglo-Celtic marriage is joint and nebulous, whereas money in cohabiting heterosexual relationships is separate and calculable. The move from cohabitation to marriage is accompanied by greater jointness in the management of money. As the nature of the couple's commitment becomes more explicit in marriage, money becomes more nebulous and less calculable. However, in both marriage and cohabitation, the questions of equality, power and control are blocked so that the reality of women's lower income does not challenge the popular discourse of marriage and cohabitation being equal partnerships. The secular rituals of the marital joint account and purposive pooling in cohabitation channel information to reduce the gap between ideology and experience on the one hand, and the contradictions between coexisting ideologies on the other. These conclusions are based on two separate qualitative studies of 16 married couples and 15 cohabiting couples in Mel bourne, between 1991 and 1994.
The Host Response to West Nile Virus Infection Limits Viral Spread through the Activation of the Interferon Regulatory Factor 3 Pathway

ABSTRACT Recent outbreaks of West Nile Virus (WNV) have been associated with an increase in morbidity and mortality in humans, birds, and many other species. We have initiated studies to define the molecular mechanisms by which a recent pathogenic isolate of WNV evades the host cell innate antiviral response. Biochemical and microarray analyses demonstrated that WNV induced the expression of beta interferon (IFN-β) and several IFN-stimulated genes late in infection of cultured human cells. The late expression of these antiviral genes was due to the delayed activation of the transcription factor IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF-3). Despite this host response, WNV was still able to replicate efficiently. The effect of the IRF-3 pathway on WNV replication was assessed by examining virus replication and spread in cultures of wild-type or IRF-3-null mouse embryo fibroblasts. The absence of IRF-3 was marked by a significant increase in plaque size and a sustained production of infectious particles. Although the activation of the IRF-3 pathway was not sufficient to block virus replication, our results suggest that IRF-3 target genes function to constrain WNV infection and limit cell-to-cell virus spread.
The Feasibility of Cognitive Screening of Patients with Ischaemic Stroke Using the Preliminary Neuropsychological Battery

In the present study, we assessed the reliability, validity and diagnostic accuracy of the non-verbal Preliminary Neuropsychological Battery (PNB) in a sample of stroke patients (n = 149) without significant aphasia and a sample of similarly aged healthy elderly controls (n = 122). The results indicate that as a brief bedside test of global cognitive function the PNB had satisfactory internal, external reliability and validity in this population and a cut-off point of ≤⃒ 55 on the PNB had a sensitivity of 71% and specificity of 94% to detect significant cognitive impairments. Furthermore, better performance on the non-symbolic section of the PNB was associated improved with executive function. In common with other brief neuropsychological tests, the PNB was susceptible to ceiling, educational, functional capability and depression effects. The results here indicate that further research is needed to determine the utility of the PNB in a longitudinal cohort of aphasic and non-aphasic stroke survivors.
Generalized Transitive Distance with Minimum Spanning Random Forest

Transitive distance is an ultrametric with elegant properties for clustering. Conventional transitive distance can be found by referring to the minimum spanning tree (MST). We show that such distance metric can be generalized onto a minimum spanning random forest (MSRF) with element-wise max pooling over the set of transitive distance matrices from an MSRF. Our proposed approach is both intuitively reasonable and theoretically attractive. Intuitively, max pooling alleviates undesired short links with single MST when noise is present. Theoretically, one can see that the distance metric obtained max pooling is still an ultrametric, rendering many good clustering properties. Comprehensive experiments on data clustering and image segmentation show that MSRF with max pooling improves the clustering performance over single MST and achieves state of the art performance on the Berkeley Segmentation Dataset.
Memory of Sponsorship-Linked Marketing Communications

Corporate sponsorship value is brought into question when false recognition of foils suggests confusion regarding true sponsors. While an indicator of confusion, recognition false alarms do not tell the entire story regarding memory for sponsor-event relationships. Two free recall experiments show relatively good memory for sponsors and also that under certain conditions, the mention of direct competitors can actually facilitate recall of true sponsors and events. The findings point to the importance of understanding the memory-based characteristics of measurement as well as to the memory-supported decision-making tasks that sponsorship information might eventually influence.
