Storytelling in Drug Treatment

Professionals who provide drug treatment to young people regularly encounter what they conceive to be inauthentic client claims, that is, claims not in accordance with reality. Earlier research demonstrates how authenticity remains a key concern within drug treatment, but it has not sufficiently explained how professionals account for and distinguish between different types of inauthenticity. Building on the sociology of storytelling, this study opens up the category of inauthenticity through a narrative analysis and makes a novel contribution by identifying the following three distinctive stories that professionals activate to make sense of inauthenticity: (1) professionals routinely refer to what this study labels the story of institutional conformism, portraying institutionalized clients who have developed a habit of saying the “right” things rather than the “real” things, (2) in the somewhat taboo story of ulterior motives, clients are interpreted as making inauthentic claims because they want to obtain something externally from drug treatment (e.g., avoid prison or work training programs), and (3) the story of disorders explains inauthenticity as a result of pathology. The study illuminates how professionals assert narrative control through storytelling and how specific stories carry specific consequences and may ultimately contribute to the exclusion of some clients from treatment.
OpenFlow-Based Server Load Balancing Gone Wild

Today's data centers host online services on multiple servers, with a front-end load balancer directing each client request to a particular replica. Dedicated load balancers are expensive and quickly become a single point of failure and congestion. The OpenFlow standard enables an alternative approach where the commodity network switches divide traffic over the server replicas, based on packet-handling rules installed by a separate controller. However, the simple approach of installing a separate rule for each client connection (or "microflow") leads to a huge number of rules in the switches and a heavy load on the controller. We argue that the controller should exploit switch support for wildcard rules for a more scalable solution that directs large aggregates of client traffic to server replicas. We present algorithms that compute concise wildcard rules that achieve a target distribution of the traffic, and automatically adjust to changes in load-balancing policies without disrupting existing connections. We implement these algorithms on top of the NOX OpenFlow controller, evaluate their effectiveness, and propose several avenues for further research.
Video editing support system based on video grammar and content analysis

Video editing is the work to produce the final videos with certain duration by finding and selecting appropriate shots from the material videos and connecting them. In order to produce the excellent videos, this process is generally conducted according to the special rules called "video grammar". In this paper, we propose an intelligent support system for the video editing where metadata are extracted automatically and then the video grammars are applied to the extracted metadata.
The body in professional practice, learning and education

ditions from which students come, or seeing them in deficit terms (pp. 86–87) and excluding the personal and relational from supervision (pp. 91–94); transcultural supervision demonstrates awareness or/and interest in the places and traditions students come from (pp. 105– 108) and recognizes the importance of the personal, the relational and bodily well-being for successful research (pp. 111–116). There is still more to the significance of place than this, as is acknowledged here, given the emplaced origins and development of northern, southern and indigenous knowledges that are also a significant focus of the argument. Responding to Manathunga’s arguments as a supervisor, I recognized some of my own practice in some of the examples of ‘assimilationist’ supervision, making for uncomfortable reading. Manathunga argues that we need to learn to live with ‘unhomeliness’ and discomfort – not having bodies of knowledge mesh perfectly together, accommodating different communication styles (such as the students who say ‘yes’ as a practice of respect but do not actually agree with our suggestions). There are many suggestions here that are challenging and therefore extremely useful. And amongst the biggest challenges is recognition of the uniqueness of each supervision pair or triad, the now common model of joint supervision potentially adding further complexity (or enriching) supervision further. A ‘take away’ from this book is that as supervisors we need to be prepared to engage in trial and error to work out a supervision style that suits each specific student. The onus here is on supervisors to make that effort, to be flexible and adaptable, good communicators, genuinely interested and ready to learn from our students – and aware of and ready to acknowledge the ‘provincial’ (Chakrabarty, 2007) nature of northern academic knowledge and styles. Reading this book will change my approach to supervision and I am glad to have it on my shelf to dip in to for ideas when faced with the inevitable tricky supervision situation.
Morphological description of bacterial infection of digestive glands in the terrestrial isopod porcellio scaber (Isopoda, crustacea)

Morphological studies of the hepatopancreas of the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber revealed bacterial infection. The percentage of infected animals collected from the same site varied from 0 to 10% during the 4 years of study. Transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and light microscopy revealed that infected glands differed from those in healthy isopods. The most prominent sign was white spots between 100 and 200 &mgr;m in diameter along the entire gland. These spots were aggregations of vacuoles in the cells that were densely filled with bacteria in different phases of the developmental cycle that included the formation of small, dense, rod-shaped infective bacteria and much larger spherical multiplying cells filled with aggregates of polysomes and a chromatin network. Occasionally, large sphericles were filled with homogeneous electron-dense material. Bacteria were not observed in the cell nucleus. Small vacuoles of less than 5 &mgr;m were filled predominately with spherical bacteria but rod-shaped forms were also present in large numbers. Larger vacuoles of 10 to 20 &mgr;m in the main were densely filled with rod-shaped bacteria. According to the literature on the morphological characteristics of bacteria infecting invertebrates, those described in our study would be classified in the genus Rickettsiella. However, most recent investigations show that besides morphological investigations, genetic ones are also needed to define the taxonomic position of bacteria that infect invertebrates.

Dietary Supplementation with Conjugated Linoleic Acid Plus n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Increases Food IntakeBrown Adipose Tissue in Rats

The effect of supplementation with 1% conjugated linoleic acid and 1% n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (CLA/n-3) was assessed in rats. Food intake increased with no difference in body weights. White adipose tissue weights were reduced whereas brown adipose tissue and uncoupling protein-1 expression were increased. Plasma adiponectin, triglyceride and cholesterol levels were reduced while leptin, ghrelin and liver weight and lipid content were unchanged. Hypothalamic gene expression measurements revealed increased expression of orexigenic and decreased expression of anorexigenic signals. Thus, CLA/n-3 increases food intake without affecting body weight potentially through increasing BAT size and up-regulating UCP-1 in rats.
Learning Presidents: Do Presidents Learn from the Public's Reactions to Their Behavior?

Abstract Explaining presidential responsiveness to the public is important to understanding democratic representation in the United States. To explain presidential responsiveness, this study begins by assuming that presidents are rational and politically knowledgeable. Based on these simple assumptions, this study argues that presidents do consider the consequences of their past behavior when responding to the public. In particular, presidents tend to respond to public opinion changes, when the public rewards their responsive behavior and punishes their irresponsive behavior. To examine these arguments, this study analyzes presidential popularity and responsiveness to the public at the aggregate level from 1958 through 2004. Regression results show that presidential responsiveness tends to increase after presidential popularity decreased as a result of irresponsive presidential behavior. The results thus partially support the argument.
Radioimmunoassay of Triiodothyronine in Unextracted Human Serum

Serum triiodothyronine (T-3) concentrations have been estimated by radioimmunoassay using unextracted serum. The serum T-3 concentrations have been shown to be similar in two separate European populations (0·76-1·67 ng/ml). Raised T-3 values have been observed in all subjects with hyperthyroidism. Low values are seen in hypothyroidism although there is some overlap with the normal range. There is a good correlation between serum T-3 and serum thyroxine (T-4) concentrations, and estimation of T-3 seems likely to prove a practical and reliable test of thyroid function.
An evaluation of the analgesic effect of AnestaGel™ on mechanical allodynia in a rat model of postoperative incisional pain

Purpose Sustained release hydrogel with bupivacaine (AnestaGel™) is a novel formulation of extended release bupivacaine in a biohydrogel Matrix™. We sought to compare the analgesic effects via mechanical allodynia, the pharmacokinetic characteristics via serum blood levels, and the local tissue effects via pathology, following injection of either sustained release hydrogel with bupivacaine, liposome bupivacaine, or hydrogel only (negative control group). Materials and methods Ninety rats (30 in each group) were randomized to receive a sciatic nerve block injection of either sustained release hydrogel with bupivacaine, liposome bupivacaine (Exparel®), or a biohydrogel matrix. The total force generated was obtained at varying time points. Pathologic analysis was undertaken on days 5 and 42 of the study. Six additional rats (two in each group) were randomized to receive a sciatic nerve block injection of either sustained release hydrogel with bupivacaine, liposome bupivacaine, or bupivacaine and pharmacokinetic data were obtained for up to 120 hours. Results The sustained release hydrogel with bupivacaine group had significantly better response to mechanical allodynia compared to the other two groups. The pathology showed no significant adverse events at 42 days in any group. Finally, bupivacaine was present longer in the serum of sustained release hydrogel with bupivacaine group than the other two groups. Conclusion The sustained release hydrogel with bupivacaine achieved longer lasting analgesia with no significant findings on pathology at 42 days when compared to both positive and negative controls.
Longin‐like folds identified in CHiPS and DUF254 proteins: Vesicle trafficking complexes conserved in eukaryotic evolution

Eukaryotic protein trafficking pathways require specific transfer of cargo vesicles to different target organelles. A number of vesicle trafficking and membrane fusion components participate in this process, including various tethering factor complexes that interact with small GTPases prior to SNARE‐mediated vesicle fusion. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae a protein complex of Mon1 and Ccz1 functions with the small GTPase Ypt7 to mediate vesicle trafficking to the vacuole. Mon1 belongs to DUF254 found in a diverse range of eukaryotic genomes, while Ccz1 includes a CHiPS domain that is also present in a known human protein trafficking disorder gene (HPS‐4). The present work identifies the CHiPS domain and a sequence region from another trafficking disorder gene (HPS‐1) as homologs of an N‐terminal domain from DUF254. This link establishes the evolutionary conservation of a protein complex (HPS‐1/HPS‐4) that functions similarly to Mon1/Ccz1 in vesicle trafficking to lysosome‐related organelles of diverse eukaryotic species. Furthermore, the newly identified DUF254 domain is a distant homolog of the μ‐adaptin longin domain found in clathrin adapter protein (AP) complexes of known structure that function to localize cargo protein to specific organelles. In support of this fold assignment, known longin domains such as the AP complex σ‐adaptin, the synaptobrevin N‐terminal domains sec22 and Ykt6, and the srx domain of the signal recognition particle receptor also regulate vesicle trafficking pathways by mediating SNARE fusion, recognizing specialized compartments, and interacting with small GTPases that resemble Ypt7.
Effect of age on forward and backward span tasks

The central executive component of working memory has been argued to play an important role in the performance of span tasks, particularly backward span. Age-related decline in central executive function has also been reported, and yet there have been inconsistent findings to indicate that with increasing age, the discrepancy between forward and backward span increases. A secondary analysis of the Wechsler Memory Scale–Third Edition standardization sample (N = 1030) was performed to investigate this relationship. It was hypothesized on the basis of past research indicating an age-related decline in central executive performance, that backward digit and spatial span performance would decrease at a greater rate than forward span performance. However, the results indicated that the rate of age-related performance decline was equivalent for both measures. It is proposed that both forward and backward span tasks recruit central executive resources for successful task performance. (JINS, 2004, 10, 475–481.)
Lesion‐induced generation of interneuron cell types in specific dorsoventral domains in the spinal cord of adult zebrafish

In contrast to mammals, adult zebrafish regenerate neurons in the lesioned spinal cord. For example, motor neurons are generated from an olig2‐expressing population of pMN‐like ependymoradial glial cells in a ventrolateral position at the central canal. However, the extent of neuronal regeneration is unclear. Here we show, using a transgenic fish in which V2 interneurons are labeled by green fluorescent protein (GFP) under the control of the vsx1 promoter, that after a complete spinal cord transection, large numbers of V2 interneurons are generated in the vicinity of the lesion site. Tg(vsx1:GFP)+ cells are not present in the unlesioned spinal cord and label with the proliferation marker bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) after a lesion. Some mediolaterally elongated Tg(vsx1:GFP)+ cells contact the central canal in a medial position. These cells likely arise from a p2‐like domain of ependymoradial glial progenitor cells, indicated by coexpression of Pax6 and Nkx6.1, but not DsRed driven by the olig2 promoter in these cells. We also present evidence that Pax2+ interneurons are newly generated after a spinal lesion, whereas the generation rate for a dorsal population of parvalbuminergic interneurons is comparatively low. Our results identify the regenerative potential of different interneuron types for the first time and support a model in which different progenitor cell domains in distinct dorsoventral positions around the central canal are activated by a lesion to give rise to diverse neuronal cell types in the adult zebrafish spinal cord.

Anticipation of conflict monitoring in the anterior cingulate cortex and the prefrontal cortex

The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been suggested as a monitoring center that is responsible for online detection of response conflicts. In this view, the conflict signal detected by the ACC is transmitted to other brain regions, such as the dorsal part of the lateral prefrontal cortex (lPFC), to increase the level of cognitive control. In this functional MRI (fMRI) study, we examined the conflict resolution that goes beyond online detection of response conflicts. Participants learned pseudoarithmetic problem-solving tasks that involve stimulus–response mapping rules with high or low conflicts. On half of the trials, participants had a preview of the upcoming operator that allowed advance preparation for the mapping rules. The preview significantly reduced the conflict effects on latency. During the preview, both the ACC and lPFC were activated in anticipation of conflict, and this anticipatory activation was highly predictive of the subsequent latency. These results suggest that the ACC and lPFC are responsible for both anticipatory preparation and online adjustment in response to conflicts. The results also confirm the roles of the lPFC and ACC in managing conflict during problem solving and extend these roles to include responding to anticipation of conflicts that may arise between incompatible stimulus–response mappings maintained in working memory during preparation.
UNDERSTANDING REPLICATION: CONFIDENCE INTERVALS, p VALUES, AND WHAT'S LIKELY TO HAPPEN NEXT TIME

Science loves replication: We conclude an effect is real if we believe replications would also show the effect. It is therefore crucial to understand replication. However, there is strong evidence of severe, widespread misconception about p values and confidence intervals, two of the main statistical tools that guide us in deciding whether an observed effect is real. I propose we teach about replication directly. I describe three approaches: Via confidence intervals (What is the chance the original confidence interval will capture the mean of a repeat of the experiment? ); Via p values (Given an initial p value, what is the distribution of p values for replications of the experiment? ): and via Peter Killeen’s ‘prep,’ which is the average probability that a replication will give a result in the same direction. In each case I will demonstrate an interactive graphical simulation designed to make the tricky ideas of replication vividly accessible.
Low-Profile Dual-Band Filtering Patch Antenna and Its Application to LTE MIMO System

This paper presents a low-profile dual-band filtering antenna element and its application to long-term evolution (LTE) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system for wireless customer premise equipments (CPEs). The proposed element consists of two separate U-shaped patches operating at different frequencies and a multistub microstrip feed line. For size miniaturization, the smaller U-shaped patch is embedded in the larger one. In addition, the multistub feed line can generate two controllable resonant modes as well as two nulls in realized gain at the boresight direction. Since the modes of the patches and multistub feed line can be controlled individually, the two operating bands can be tuned to desired frequencies. Also, the radiation nulls in boresight gain can be controlled, high roll-off rate and out-of-band radiation rejection levels are thus obtained. For demonstration, a low profile (0.009λ0) dual-band filtering antenna element operating at 1.9 and 2.6 GHz for TD-LTE applications (B39 and B38-bands) is implemented. Dual-band bandpass responses and four radiation nulls are observed in the experiment. Measured in-band gains are 6.7 and 7.3 dBi, whereas out-of-band gains are less than -10 dBi. Based on this element, a four-element MIMO antenna is further designed for LTE CPEs, where low profile and high integration of multiple components are required. A low mutual coupling of less than -19.2 dB and the low envelope correlation coefficients of better than 0.2 are obtained with a small edge-to-edge spacing of 0. 15λ0.
Physical Layer Security in Cooperative Energy Harvesting Networks With a Friendly Jammer

In this letter, we consider a cooperative wireless network consisting of a source, multiple intermediate energy harvesting nodes, and a destination, in the presence of a passive eavesdropper. First, the intermediate nodes use the time switching-based relaying protocol to harvest energy from the source signal. Then, a pair out of intermediate nodes are selected as a relay and a jammer to transmit confidential and jamming signals to the destination and eavesdropper. Under these assumptions, we evaluate the system performance in terms of secrecy outage probability.
Functional outcomes of uni-knee arthroplasty for medial compartment knee arthropathy in asian patients

Background: Uni-knee arthroplasty (UKA) has shown better knee kinematics and motion that may better suit the activities of daily living in Eastern countries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional outcomes of UKA for medial compartment knee arthropathy in Asian patients. Methods: The study cohort consisted of 48 patients with 51 UK A knees. Only one type of prosthesis was used and all components were cemented. Postoperative management included ambulation with weight bearing, range of motion, and muscle strengthening exercises as tolerated until full recovery. The average follow-up was 52.0 ± 24.0 (range 12-92) months. The evaluation included functional assessment, the Knee Society knee and functional scores, the International Knee Document Committee (IKDC) subjective and objective scores, and radiographs of the knee. Results: The overall clinical outcomes of the knee showed the functional outcome of the knee to be normal in 51%, nearly normal in 37%, abnormal in 8%, and severely abnormal in 4%. The functional activities included stair climbing in 96%, squatting in 76%, jogging in 71% and kneeling in 47%. Three-quarters of the patients were able to kneel for daily activities. Approximately 98% of the patients were satisfied with the operation. The survivorship of the prosthesis was 98% with one revision pending. Radiographic evaluations revealed the components were centered in 82% and off-centered in 18%. Osteoarthritis was 22% preoperative and 27% postoperative for the patellofemoral compartment, and 0% before and 4% after surgery for the lateral compartment. The functional outcomes showed no difference between patients with and without patellofemoral arthritis. The complications included one component malposition and one knee pain of undetermined origin. Conclusions: UKA provides excellent pain relief and restoration of knee function including kneeling, squatting, and sit-to-stand activities that perfectly fit the oriental lifestyle and high patient satisfaction in Asian patients at medium-term follow-up. The complications were rare and the survival rate was 98% at medium-term follow-up.
