Frontal brain asymmetry as a biological substrate of emotions in patients with panic disorders.

BACKGROUND Right frontal hemisphere activation, as indicated by reduced frontal alpha amplitude, seems to represent activation of an avoidance-withdrawal system and seems to be associated with negative emotions. Since patients with panic disorder are characterized by both negative emotions and avoidance-withdrawal behavior, we expected them to show greater right than left frontal hemisphere activation. METHODS Spontaneous electroencephalography was recorded from the left and right frontal and parietal scalp regions of 23 patients with panic disorder patients without a diagnosis of depression and from 25 healthy control participants during the following conditions: rest, confrontation with neutral, panic-relevant, anxiety-relevant but panic-irrelevant, or anxiety-irrelevant but emotionally relevant stimuli, and performance of a motor task. Their emotional state during these conditions was assessed by the Self-Assessment Manikin. RESULTS In patients with panic disorders, there were asymmetries in frontal hemisphere activation during resting phases and when confronted with anxiety-relevant stimuli. Their right frontal alpha power was significantly decreased compared with the left, while control participants did not show frontal brain asymmetry during these phases. There was no frontal brain asymmetry when patients observed an emotionally neutral picture or performed a motor task. Under these conditions, left and right frontal hemisphere alpha activation of patients with panic disorder and healthy participants were comparable. CONCLUSIONS These data support the hypothesis that patients with panic disorder are characterized by greater activation of a right frontal avoidance-withdrawal system in negatively valenced situations. The findings are interpreted as biological evidence for a disturbed cortical processing in patients with panic disorder.
Top-down Approach to the Investigation of the Neural Basis of Geometric-optical Illusions: Understanding the Brain as a Theoretical Entity

: Geometric-optical illusions have been the subjects of research interest in a number of disciplines in science. Moreover, investigation of the patients’ reactions to illusory configurations has been somewhat instrumental in the understanding of impaired neuro-cognitive processes underlying some of the neurological and/or psychiatric disorders. Recently, neuroscientists have made some progress in understanding the neural underpinning of the geometric-optical illusions. However, a closer collaboration between psychology and neuroscience may lead to a better understanding of not only the neural basis of the illusions but the function of the brain in general. The purpose of the present analysis is to outline a sound epistemological ground for such a relationship and to demonstrate how psychological theories may potentially play a guiding role in the context of scientific discoveries in the neuroscience of illusory phenomena. In order to do so, two concepts of the “many-one” relationship between the mental and the neural states and “context-sensitivity” will be described with regard to the possible relationships between perception and brain in the context of research on illusions. In addition, the implications of the top-down strategy for research in Psychiatry will be explained and the strategy will be discussed as a path towards the unification of scientific explanations.

Civil Liability for Clinical Misdiagnosis of Suicidal Intention: Procedure and Guidelines to Minimize Fatal Diagnostic Error

Background/Objectives: A fatal diagnostic error of suicidal intention, i.e., an error implying death or serious injuries (i.e., incapacitating, chronic injury) to the patient, may have civil liability (punishable error) for the clinician. The Scale for Suicidal Ideation (SSI) is the reference psychometric instrument used to measure suicidal intention. A meta-analytical review was designed with the aim of estimating the true reliability of the SSI in general and in different settings (moderators) with the aim of correcting unreliability raw scores. Method: A total of 90 primary studies reporting SSI’s reliability (internal consistency) was found in the literature, yielding a total of 92 effect sizes. Bare-bones meta-analysis of correlation coefficients correcting effect by sampling error were run. Results: The results showed an overall mean true internal consistency of . 8904, 95% CI [. 8878, . 8930], meaning that 42.6% of the population standard deviation is error and 18.11% of an individual’s measure is error. Additional estimations (moderators) of SSI’s reliability for gender (men: .8873, women: .8808) adaptation version (English: .9212, Korean: .9052, Chinese: .8402, Italian: .9163, Persian: .8612), and population (subclinical: .8769, general: .9230, mental illness: .9040) were obtained. All mean true estimations were under the desirable standard for applied settings where critical decisions are made, . 95. Furthermore, for populations with risk of suicide, such as prison inmates and militaries, mean true reliability could not be computed as k was insufficient. Conclusion: Implications of true reliabilities obtained for the estimation of individuals’ true scores and population standard deviations are discussed. Examples of computation of true scores to minimize fatal diagnosis errors were performed for both known reliability and unknown reliability settings (e
THE PUPILS VOICE IN DIFFERENT EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS

Since ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2009, joint ‘same goal’ and ‘different goal’ education of pupils with and without disabilities has become a key concern of any changes in German educational policy. The lively public discourse and the controversial debate among experts have been fuelled last but not least by a lack of research and a partly conflicting interpretation of research results concerning the effects of various educational settings for pupils with SEBD (cf. Ellinger and Stein, 2012). In the international professional discourse about research on inclusion, a methodical approach incorporating the views of pupils with special educational needs has been occasionally considered. An overview of current international findings from empirical research on the ‘pupils voice’ shows that initial – mainly regional – data are available from various countries (cf. Hartas and Geoff, 2011; O'Connor, Hodkinson, Burton, et al., 2010; Paige-Smith and Rix, 2011), although no elaborate research tradition exists yet, and that scientists agree about the need to include this perspective in research activities. On that score the aim of this research project was to investigate the attitude of affected pupils on current trends in inclusive and segregated educational settings. The study's main target group consists of pupils experiencing difficulties in their emotional and social development, as these are the pupils who are most frequently educated in inclusive/integrative school settings as compared to pupils with other special educational needs (cf. KMK-Statistik, 2014), and also as the number of schools offering special educational guidance for social, emotional and behavioural difficulties has increased by 300% in the past 15 years. In our study we explore German pupils experienced well-being in different educational settings by using two different questionnaires designed to assess psychologically and pedagogically relevant views, evaluations and attitudes of elementary school-aged children.
Multiple Dimensions of Instructional Effectiveness in Reading: A Review of Classroom Observation Studies and Implications for Special Education Classrooms

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to review and analyze effective classroom reading practices for early graders, using information gathered from the existing content-general and content-specific observation protocols measuring teachers’ classroom reading practices. Dimensions and constructs from 28 observation studies were synthesized to identify classroom instructional practices that have positive impacts on student achievement. Findings revealed that (a) instructional support, emotional support, and classroom management have positive impacts on student achievement, (b) the degree to which instructional practices are effective depends on students’ particular learning needs, and (c) students’ entering skills and primary language are associated with instructional effectiveness in reading. Challenges and implications for future research on effective instructional strategies for special education and the development of an observational protocol for special education teacher effectiveness are discussed.
The Role Of Stigma, School Connectedness, And Depression In School-Based Mental Health

Stigma is a significant barrier to receiving mental health services. Public stigma may be especially salient for adolescents, for whom social relationships are of particular importance. Public stigma has been shown to predict self-stigma, which has associated with depression. In contrast, school connectedness has been shown to be a protective factor against depression. However, the relationship between school connectedness and stigma has not yet been established. Further, very little research exists to inform adolescent experiences of stigma, in part due to a lack of validated instruments to measure stigma among youth receiving mental health services. The present study examined the factor structure of two measures of stigma adapted for use in school mental health, as well as the factor structure of the Psychological Sense of School Membership (PSSM). Additionally, the current study investigated the relationship between public stigma, self-stigma, school connectedness, and depression among adolescents receiving mental health services in a school setting. Results indicated serious problems in the measurement of public stigma and school connectedness. Additional findings are discussed.
The Effect of Stress Management Model in Quality of Life in Breast Cancer Women

Background: Breast cancer associates with severs severe distress and stress. Since Because of that, the stress management program can train necessary skills to cope with stress; therefore, the current study investigates the effectiveness of stress management on enhancement of quality of life. Objectives: The aim of the current study is to examine the effectiveness of stress management model in quality of life for breast cancer patients. Patients and Methods: This research is a quasi-experimental study with pre and post-tests. The 21 subjects were selected from cancer institute of Imam Khomeini in Tehran in 2014. The participants were allocated to two matched groups based on their pre-test scores. They were assigned randomly to the control and experimental groups. Stress management was conducted with the experimental group during 10 sessions. Then the questionnaire was administered at post-test. Statistical analysis was conducted by using the independent t-test and analysis of variance. The research instrument was the core quality of life questionnaire QLQ-C30. Results: The results of the independent t-test showed that there is a significant difference between the pretest and post-test scores in the experimental group (P < 0.05). Also, there is no significant difference between means of quality of life subscales and socio demographic of the patients such as; age, education and disease stage (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The results indicate that stress management can change the irrational and distortion thoughts. So, it enhances the quality of life in breast cancer patients.
Evaluation of edible polymer coatings enriched with green tea extract on quality of chicken nuggets

Aim: The present study was conducted to evaluate the physico-chemical and microbiological characteristics of chicken nuggets coated with sodium alginate (SA) coatings at refrigerated (4±1°C) and frozen (−18±1°C) storage condition at regular periodic intervals. Materials and Methods: Chicken meat nuggets were separated into three groups: Uncoated control (C), coated with alginate coating (T1), and coated with alginate coating incorporated with 1% green tea extract (GTE) (T2). The nuggets were analyzed at regular intervals of 5days for refrigerated storage and 15 days for frozen storage period in terms of pH, 2-thiobarbituric acid value (TBA), peroxide value (PV), total plate count (TPC), water loss, and sensory characteristics. Results: The results indicated that the nuggets coated with alginate-based coatings effectively reduced the spoilage as indicated by pH, TBA, and PVs. pH values of the formulations ranged from 6.15 to 6.34 at refrigerated storage temperature (4±1°C) and 6.49-6.71 at frozen storage temperature (−18±1°C). TBA value of the treatments ranged from 1.28 to 1.54 mg MDA/kg and 1.34 to 1.50 mg MDA/kg under refrigerated and frozen storage temperatures, respectively. Color, flavor, juiciness, tenderness, and overall acceptability of the nuggets differed significantly (p<0.05) with the coated nuggets. The coated nuggets were well acceptable upto 15 days at refrigerated storage temperature (4±1°C) and upto 75 days at frozen storage temperature (−18±1°C). Nuggets coated with GTE incorporated coating solution had a lower TBA-reactive substances values, PVs, and TPCs when compared to the nuggets coated with SA and the control group. Conclusion: Study revealed that incorporation of edible coatings with antioxidants, namely, GTE at 1% level had a significant effect in reducing the fat oxidation. The samples recorded a shelf life of 15 days under refrigerated storage when compared to their controls with 10 days of storage period and 75 days under frozen storage against controls with 60 days. T1, T2, and T3 formulations had higher sensory scores in comparison to the controls. Overall acceptability scores of T1 were higher when compared to the other formulations.
Projection based permutation of color images

The encryption of images is based on two main complementary techniques: permutation and substitution of pixels. The strength of any encryption algorithm depends on the strength of both techniques. This paper presents an algorithm for rows and columns permutation of pixels. It introduces a virtual cylinder surrounding the image through which a virtual viewer looks at the image when rotating around it. The key idea is based on the fact that the line of sight of each pixel to the viewer intersects the cylinder surface at a given point. This point should be the same whatever the position of the viewer is. Therefore, it is used to find out the new pixel's position corresponding to the original image in a new generated image which is viewed from another position. The new created image has then some pixels which stack up and others which become out. They are then reintroduced in the created holes in the new image. This reinsertion of pixels creates the expected permutation. Based on only two main parts of the key which can be reinforced by others and a substitution technique, the algorithm shows a strength transformation of images for the purpose of their encryption.
Developing and Implementing a Social Prescribing Initiative in Primary Care: insights into the possibility of normalization and sustainability from a UK case study

Aim: To conduct a process based evaluation of the inception and early implementation of a social prescribing initiative (‘Healthy Connections Stewartry’) in two UK General Practices. Background: Prescribing a range of social, cultural, arts and educational activities to clients in primary care (known as ‘social prescribing’ or ‘community linking schemes’) as a means of addressing long-term physical health conditions and promoting mental health and wellbeing is becoming increasingly prominent and popular. However, concerns exist over a lack of evidence of effectiveness and formalised insights into how such initiatives may be optimally implemented. Methods: Within a case study design and using 1-1 semi-structured interviews, 3 related datasets were developed over a 12 month period from 30 purposively sampled informants: the project steering group; the wider primary care team; and various community groups. Data analysis drew on various theoretical resources, particularly those pertaining to nurturing sufficient capacity for the organisational ‘normalisation’ of this practice and understanding the dynamic flows and linkages between potential clients, ‘prescribing’ primary care staff and the available community resources. Findings: The inception and implementation of the initiative had been broadly successful and that more generally, there were grounds to suggest that these practices were becoming ‘normalised’ into the day-to-day cultures and routines of the primary care organisations. A series of procedural features are considered significant in achieving such ends. Some specific barriers to change are identified and ultimately in the context of potential ‘transferability’, a wider reflection is undertaken of the potential for such innovative practice to become established in less advantageous organisational circumstances. Fundamental difficulties are recognised and thus the need for formally implemented ‘change’ processes. Furthermore, for social prescribing to become a pervasive feature of health care provision, the need for necessary capacity and resources is stressed.
ATP Binding Cassette transporters associated with chemoresistance: transcriptional profiling in extreme cohorts and their prognostic impact in a cohort of 281 acute myeloid leukemia patients

Background A major issue in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia is resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs. An increasing number of ATP-Binding-Cassette transporters have been demonstrated to cause resistance to cancer drugs. The aim of this study was to highlight the putative role of other ATP-Binding-Cassette transporters in primary chemoresistant acute myeloid leukemia. Design and Methods In the first part of this study, using taqman custom arrays, we analyzed the relative expression levels of 49 ATP-Binding-Cassette genes in 51 patients divided into two extreme cohorts, one very sensitive and one very resistant to chemotherapy. In the second part of this study, we evaluated the prognostic impact, in a cohort of 281 patients, of ATP-Binding-Cassette genes selected in the first part of the study. Results In the first part of the study, six genes (ATP-Binding-CassetteA2, ATP-Binding-CassetteB1, ATP-Binding-CassetteB6, ATP-Binding-CassettC13, ATP-Binding-CassetteG1, and ATP-Binding-CassetteG2) were significantly over-expressed in the resistant group compared with the sensitive group. In the second cohort, overexpression of 5 of these 6 ATP-Binding-Cassette genes was correlated with outcome in univariate analysis, and only the well-known ATP-Binding-CassetteB1 and G2, and the new ATP-Binding-CassetteG1 in multivariate analysis. Prognosis decreased remarkably with the number of these over-expressed ABC genes. Complete remission was achieved in 71%, 59%, 54%, and 0%, (P=0.0011) and resistance disease in 21%, 37%, 43%, and 100% (P<0.0001) of patients over-expressing 0, 1, 2, or 3, ABC genes, respectively. The number of ATP-Binding-Cassette genes expressed, among ATP-Binding-CassetteB1, G1, and G2, was the strongest prognostic factor correlated, in multivariate analysis, with achievement of complete remission (P=0.01), resistant disease (P=0.01), and overall survival (P=0.02). Conclusions Using expression profiling, we have emphasized the diversity of ATP-Binding-Cassette transporters that cooperate to promote chemoresistance rather than overexpression of single transporters and the putative role of new ATP-Binding-Cassette tranporters, such as ATP-Binding-CassetteG1. Modulation of these multiple transporters might be required to eradicate leukemic cells.
DO SUBLEADING CORRECTIONS TO BEKENSTEIN–HAWKING ENTROPY HOLD THE KEY TO QUANTUM GRAVITY?

Black-holes are considered to be theoretical laboratories for testing models of quantum gravity. It is usually believed that any candidate for quantum gravity must explain the microscopic origin of the Bekenstein–Hawking (SBH) entropy. In this letter, we argue (i) the requirement for a candidate approach to go beyond SBH and provide generic subleading corrections, and (ii) the importance to disentangle and identify the degrees of freedom leading to SBH and its subleading corrections. Using the approach of entanglement of modes across the horizon, we show that the microscopic degrees of freedom that lead to SBH and subleading corrections are different. We further show, using microcanonical and canonical ensemble approaches, that the quantum entanglement predicts generic power-law corrections to SBH and that the corrections can be identified with the kinematical properties of the event-horizon.
Artificial Neural Networks Architecture For Intrusion Detection Systems and Classification of Attacks

The ubiquity of the Internet poses serious concerns on the security of computer infrastructures and the integrity of sensitive data. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) aim at protecting networks and computers from malicious networkbased or host-based attacks. The underlying assumption of intrusion detection is an attack will noticeably affect system performance or behavior. Neural networks method is a promising technique, which has been used in many classification problems. The present study is aimed to solve a multi-class problem of intrusion detection using MLP in which not only the attack records are distinguished from normal ones, but also the attack type is identified. The results showed that the designed system is capable of classifying records with 93.43% accuracy with two hidden layers of neuron.
Empowerment through student-initiated action research : Exploring tertiary paths in a multiply disadvantaged school

This paper analyses the impact on a disadvantaged secondary school and its students of an equity program designed to introduce students to university life and its potential as a viable post-secondary option. In partnership with university researchers, students developed and conducted research projects related to university entrance and made recommendations for future action. These recommendations were acted upon by other students who designed and conducted follow-up projects in their school and community. The initiative has affected the culture of the school as well as the individual students interested in and gaining entrance to university.
