Acusatividad y ergatividad opcional en Shiwilu (Kawapana)

Le present article analyse l'expression des arguments nucleaires de la proposition en shiwilu, langue de la famille kawapana parlee par quelques personnes âgees en Amazonie peruvienne. Au niveau des suffixes verbaux, le shiwilu suit un alignement nominatif-accusatif. L'expression de S est obligatoire sur les verbes intransitifs ; avec les verbes transitifs, des suffixes sagittaux avec differents degres de fusion indiquent des combinaisons de A et O. Il faut signaler que l'indice exprimant l'argument 0 tend a coincider avec celui de S dans certain type de phrase non-verbale, comme aussi celui de S/A/O dans les phrases dependantes. Au niveau des sintagmes nominaux, le shiwilu utilise ce qui est connu comme etant la marque pragmatique ou "optionnelle" de l'ergatif, vu que le morpheme -lr peut marquer les singtames nominaux seulement en fonction A. Cependant, son absence dans les contextes ou il devrait apparaitre ne produit aucune agrammaticalite de l'enonce.

In the title compound, (C6H9N2)[Cr(C2O4)2(H2O)2]·H2O, the CrIII atom adopts a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment defined by two chelating oxalate ligands in the equatorial plane and two water molecules in axial positions. A three-dimensional network is generated by intermolecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the cation, the complex anion and the lattice water molecule.
Complications of fiberoptic bronchoscopy at a university hospital.

STUDY OBJECTIVE To retrospectively review the indications and complications associated with flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FFB) in a university teaching hospital. DESIGN retrospective review from April 1, 1988 to March 30, 1993. SETTING Large tertiary care university hospital. PATIENTS OR PARTICIPANTS We reviewed 4,273 consecutive FFBs, including 2,493 bronchoalveolar lavages and 173 transbronchial biopsy procedures. INTERVENTIONS None. RESULTS Most (52%) FFBs were performed for obtaining lower respiratory tract samples for evaluation of suspected infection. An additional 17% were performed to evaluate an abnormality seen on chest radiograph. The most common therapeutic indication was removal of retained secretions in 8% of FFBs. The mortality rate was 0%, and the frequency of major and minor complications was 0.5% and 0.8%, respectively. The incidence of major complications secondary to transbronchial biopsy was 6.8%. CONCLUSIONS Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy can be performed safely in a teaching hospital with appropriate preparation, supervision, and adherence to protocol.
Enhanced dissolution of cinnabar (mercuric sulfide) by dissolved organic matter isolated from the Florida Everglades

Organic matter isolated from the Florida Everglades caused a dramatic increase in mercury release (up to 35 μM total dissolved mercury) from cinnabar (HgS), a solid with limited solubility. Hydrophobic (a mixture of both humic and fulvic) acids dissolved more mercury than hydrophilic acids and other nonacid fractions of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Cinnabar dissolution by isolated organic matter and natural water samples was inhibited by cations such as Ca2+. Dissolution was independent of oxygen content in experimental solutions. Dissolution experiments conducted in DI water (pH = 6.0) had no detectable (<2.5 nM) dissolved mercury. The presence of various inorganic (chloride, sulfate, or sulfide) and organic ligands (salicylic acid, acetic acid, EDTA, or cysteine) did not enhance the dissolution of mercury from the mineral. Aromatic carbon content in the isolates (determined by 13C NMR) correlated positively with enhanced cinnabar dissolution. ζ-potential measurements indicated sorption of negatively .
A Shape-and-Density Model of the Putative Binary EKBO 2001QG298

Recent observations of the Edgeworth–Kuiper belt object (EKBO) 2001 QG298 (Sheppard, Jewitt 2004) have shown that the lightcurve of this object has a very large amplitude (1.14± 0.04 mag), indicating that it is either of an elongated shape or of a binary structure with two components of similar sizes nearly in contact with each other. On the basis of these interesting published data, we employed Roche binary lightcurve simulations to construct a shape model of EKBO 2001 QG298. The shape parameters of the best-fitted model were 260 (164) × 205 (130)× 185 (116)km for the primary, and 265 (168)× 160 (102)× 150 (94)km for the secondary in the case of an albedo of 0.04 (0.10). An additional result of this calculation is that the average bulk density of the contact binary system could be estimated to be 630kgm−3. This value is similar to that of several icy moons of Saturn with a diameter of less than 200 km. We have also used the Jacobi ellipsoidal approximation to compute the shape of one of the largest EKBOs, Varuna. The corresponding shape parameters are a : b : c = 1.00 : 0.76 : 0.50. The lower limit of the bulk density is ρ ≥ 1000kgm−3. These results are in good agreement with the published values of Jewitt and Sheppard (2002), and are consistent with their suggestion that larger icy bodies have higher densities (Sheppard, Jewitt 2002).
Anaphylaxis to patent blue during sentinel lymph node identification

A 34-year-old woman, with a personal history of FDE due to sulphonamides, had been treated 4 months ago with oral metronidazole for trichomonal vaginitis. On the 4th day of treatment, she developed pruritic erythematous and blistered lesions on interdigital areas and on the palmar side of the thumb finger of her left hand. About 3 months later, the same lesions appeared in the same locations some hours after the topical application of the first ovule of metronidazole for recurrent vaginitis, remaining as hyperpigmented macules at these locations. FDE due to metronidazole was diagnosed clinically. Patch testing with tinidazole and ornidazole 10% in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was performed on normal skin and on residual lesions. Tinidazole applied on a residual lesion was positive (Fig. 1), though negative on normal skin, while ornidazole was negative on both. The patient declined any further testing. Discussion
Transport Properties of Beam-Deposited Pt Nanowires

Pt wires were fabricated by using electron-beam (EB) and Ga focused-ion-beam (FIB) irradiation while providing C5H5Pt(CH3)3 gas through a nozzle. Electron transport properties of the wires were investigated. The resistance of the EB-deposited wires was quite high as deposited but was reduced by 3-4 orders of magnitude after 400-500°C annealing. The electron transport of the as-deposited EB-deposited wire was dominated by the variable range hopping and the Coulomb blockade simultaneously, and showed the antilocalization effect after 400°C annealing. The electron phase-breaking length in the EB-deposited wire with 400°C annealing, which was derived from a theoretical fitting, is ≈10 nm at ≈4 K and increases with decreasing temperature. This means that 10-nm fabrication technology and improvement of coherence length are required for coherent vacuum nanoelectronics.
Improved Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition for Rolling Bearing Fault Diagnosis

Rolling bearing is an important part in mechanical system and faults occur frequently with vibration noise. Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is a tool for nonlinear and non-stationary signals analysis. However, the major drawbacks of EMD is mode mixing problem, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) provides a new tool for signal analysis, and it is an improved technique of EMD. In order to alleviate the mode mixing problem and choose useful IMFs, a method called EEMD and distributing fitting testing is proposed in this paper, and it is used in rolling bearing fault diagnosis. Firstly, using it for rolling bearing fault diagnosis, the fault signal is decomposed by EEMD. Then applying distributing fitting testing to choose components with truly physical meaning and the de-noised signal can be obtained. Finally, utilizing envelope spectrum to distinguish different faults. The results demonstrate the proposed method can sift useful IMFs and diagnose faults effectively, such as inner race fault, outer race fault. The advantage of the proposed method is suitable for rolling bearing diagnosis. DOI : http://dx.doi. org/10.11591/telkomnika.v12i1. 2928
Learning science as a potential new source of understanding and improvement for continuing education and continuing professional development

Abstract Learning science is an emerging interdisciplinary field that offers educators key insights about what happens in the brain when learning occurs. In addition to explanations about the learning process, which includes memory and involves different parts of the brain, learning science offers effective strategies to inform the planning and implementation of activities and programs in continuing education and continuing professional development. This article provides a brief description of learning, including the three key steps of encoding, consolidation and retrieval. The article also introduces four major learning-science strategies, known as distributed learning, retrieval practice, interleaving, and elaboration, which share the importance of considerable practice. Finally, the article describes how learning science aligns with the general findings from the most recent synthesis of systematic reviews about the effectiveness of continuing medical education.
Mobile internet and SMEs: a focus on the adoption

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to focus on the adoption of business to employee (B2e) mobile internet (MI) applications in Italian small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The purpose is twofold: to analyze the diffusion of these applications underlining the main adoption barriers and to describe the impact on the corporate environment and the decision‐making process leading to the introduction of B2e MI applications.Design/methodology/approach – The diffusion of mobile solutions is gauged through a survey of 646 Italian SMEs in the manufacturing industry. Multiple case studies of 28 Italian SMEs that have adopted 33 B2e MI applications have given insight into the impact and the adoption process of such technologies.Findings – The adoption of MI technologies is still limited in Italian SMEs. Two different kinds of solutions (classified into connectivity‐based and application‐based) lead to different processes of adoption.Research limitations/implications – The study has been conducted only in an Itali.
The Evaluation of Hip Muscles in Patients Treated With One-stage Combined Procedure for Unilateral Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip: Part II: Isokinetic Muscle Strength Evaluation

Background To assess the isokinetic muscle strength (IMS) of hip flexor and extensor muscles in patients treated with one-stage combined procedure for developmental dysplasia of the hip and analyze the effect of the status of hip muscles on IMS. Methods Twenty-two patients were included in the study. The mean age was 154.4±34.6 (110-216) months and the mean follow-up was 112.6±32.0 (68-159) months. All patients underwent complete tenotomy of the iliopsoas muscle to ease open reduction and had excellent results according to the modified McKay criteria of Barrett and type I hips according to the radiologic criteria of Severin. All patients had earlier magnetic resonance imaging examination that revealed reattachment of the iliopsoas in 7 (32%) patients. IMS measurements were performed at 120 degrees/s and 240 degrees/s. The peak torque (PT), PT angle, total work (TW), and average power (AP) values of operated and nonoperated hips were recorded separately for flexors and extensors. Results For flexors, TW and AP values were lower at the operated hip when compared with the nonoperated hip at both angular velocities. PT was only lower at the operated hip at 120 degrees/s. For extensor muscles, PT, TW, AP, and PT angle showed no statistically significant difference at either angular velocity. For flexors, the PT deficit between the operated and nonoperated hips at 120 degrees/s and 240 degrees/s was measured as 15.3% and 8.0%, respectively. There was no difference between the flexor muscles of operated and nonoperated hips considering PT, TW, and AP at both angular velocities in patients with reattachment. The IMS deficit of flexor muscles at 120 degrees/s was significantly higher in patients without reattachment of iliopsoas when compared with those with reattachment, and correlated to the widths of the iliopsoas muscle at levels II and III. Conclusions Assessing the results of surgical treatment of DDH with conventional radiologic and functional criteria might be misleading in some patients with excellent results because some of these patients, particularly those without reattachment of the iliopsoas muscle, experience significant weakness in hip flexion. Level of Evidence Level IV, therapeutic case series.
Aspiration Syndromes: Aspiration Pneumonia and Pneumonitis

Abstract Aspiration pneumonia and pneumonitis are common clinical syndromes that occur in hospitalized patients. Aspiration pneumonia occurs in patients with dysphagia and usually presents as a community-acquired pneumonia with a focal infiltrate in a dependent brochopulmonary segment. Patients with aspiration pneumonia require treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics and management of the underlying dysphagia. Aspiration pneumonitis follows the aspiration of gastric contents, usually in patients with a marked decreased level of consciousness. Treatment of aspiration pneumonitis is essentially supportive; however, corticosteroids and other immunomodulating agents may have a role in these patients.
Cancrum oris--a 35-year retrospective study.

OBJECTIVES To determine the factors predisposing to cancrum oris and its frequency, clinical features, treatment and outcome. Cancrum oris is a gangrenous condition of the face usually occurring in poorly nourished children in a Third-World setting. DESIGN Retrospective review of clinical data on children with cancrum oris. SETTING All children with cancrum oris seen over a 35-year period, from 1960 to 1995, at Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital (RXH) in Cape Town. SUBJECTS Twenty-six patients (16 female and 10 male) with cancrum oris. Their average age at presentation was 4 years and 4 months (range 1-15 years). RESULTS The peak incidence was between 1971 and 1975 (11 cases); subsequently only 1 new case was seen at RXH in every 5-year period. Most children were referred from rural areas. Associated conditions could only be determined in 11 of the 26 patients. In order of frequency, these were malnutrition, gastro-enteritis, measles and anaemia. Twenty-three of the 26 children had soft-tissue involvement affecting the lips, cheek, chin, nose or other structures. Eighteen had bony or cartilaginous involvement; the maxilla was affected in 15, the palate in 7, the vomer in 5, the mandible in 3 and the nasal septum in 7. Three children had bony involvement only, the soft tissues being spared. Operative records were available for 18 children. These 18 children had a total of 84 operations, with an average of 4.7 per child (range 0-12). CONCLUSIONS Cancrum oris is a devastating condition affecting malnourished children. Reconstruction is complex and demanding, involving both soft tissue (23 of 26 cases) and bone (18 of 26 cases). Most children require multiple procedures. Prevention is best effected by comprehensive primary health care.
EFFECT OF NEURAL TRANSPLANTATION ON DEPRESSIVE BEHAVIOR IN RATS WITH LESIONED NUCLEUS BASALIS MAGNOCELLULARIS

Recent data of our group have shown that bilateral electrolytic lesions of the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM) in rats reduced the escape behavior deficit that occurs in the learned helplessness test. The present study was done to establish the effect of intracerebral neural transplantation on the change in escape behavior of NBM-lesioned adult male Wistar rats in the learned helplessness test. At 2 days (NBM-ET) or 10 days (NBM-DT) after bi lateral electrolytic NBM-lesions, small fragments of fetal frontal cortex (18th day of gestation) were allotransplanted into the lesioned NBM. Ten days after neural transplantation, the learned helpless ness test was performed. The number of shocks that animals received before making an escape re sponse was significantly reduced in NBM-lesioned rats (p
Coronary artery angiography in systemic lupus erythematosus patients with abnormal myocardial perfusion scintigraphy.

OBJECTIVE According to published studies, 16-82% of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients have abnormal findings on myocardial perfusion tests, but it has not been established whether these patients also have abnormal findings on coronary angiography. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of abnormal findings on coronary angiography in SLE patients in whom myocardial perfusion scintigraphy revealed abnormalities. METHODS Ninety female SLE patients (ages 20-55 years, disease duration >5 years, and current or previous steroid treatment for >/=1 year) underwent myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with single-photon-emission computed tomography using (99m)Tc-sestamibi. Images were taken while the patient was at rest and after dipyridamole-induced stress. Myocardial perfusion defects were identified in 30 patients (33%). Twenty-one of these patients (mean +/- SD age 42 +/- 9; mean +/- SD disease duration 132 +/- 66 months) agreed to undergo coronary angiography. RESULTS Atherosclerotic plaques were identified by angiography in 8 of the 21 patients (38%). The majority of coronary abnormalities were localized in the anterior descending artery. The mean +/- SD number of risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) was significantly higher in the subgroup with (4.5 +/- 0.8) compared with the subgroup without (2.5 +/- 1.9) abnormal angiographic findings (P = 0.006). Arterial hypertension and postmenopause status were significantly associated with abnormal angiographic findings. Of the patients with at least 4 risk factors for CAD, coronary stenosis was present in 67% (P = 0.005). The number of American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for SLE and scores on the SLE Disease Activity Index and the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/ACR damage index were also higher in the subgroup with coronary stenosis (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION This is the first study to examine coronary angiography results in SLE patients with abnormal findings on myocardial scintigraphy. Our data suggest that myocardial scintigraphy can be used to screen SLE patients and that all patients with abnormal findings plus at least 4 risk factors for CAD should undergo coronary angiography.
Reduced Aggressive Behaviour in Mice with Targeted Disruption of the Oxytocin Gene

Oxytocin (OT) has been reported to mediate aggressive and affiliative behaviours in several species. The behavioural role of OT has been established with physiological manipulations that potentially affected blood pressure, which may have indirectly affected the behaviours under study. To provide converging evidence of the physiological role of OT in aggressive behavior, wild type (WT), heterozygous (OT−/+), and homozygous (OT−/−) mutant mice were tested in two aggression paradigms. In general, there was no significant difference in aggressiveness between WT and OT−/+ mice. However, there were significant reductions in the duration of aggressive behaviors among OT−/− animals, especially in agonistic encounters within neutral arenas. The OT−/− mice did not exhibit any sensorimotor deficits or display any altered general anxiety levels that may have accounted for the observed reduction in aggressive behavior. These data indicate that aggression is mediated in part by OT in mice and that increased aggressiveness is not an obligatory phenotypic result of targeted genetic disruption of any gene.
Electron microscopic demonstration of arylsulfatase activity during acrosome formation in the rat.

The distribution of arylsulfatase in the acrosomic system of spermatids of the rat testis was investigated with the electron microscope. Arylsulfatase activity (pH 5.2) was de- tected as the electron-opaque barium sulfate reaction product of p-nitrocatechol sulfate hydrolysis. Localized electron-opaque deposits of reaction product were seen within acrosomes of young and mature spermatids. In addition, barium sulfate accumulations were observed in the proacrosomal vesicles and within cisternae of the inner concave surface of the Golgi apparatus of young spermatids. Reactive Golgi vesicles fused with the membrane enclosing the acrosomal vesicle when the latter became applied to the surface of the spermatid nucleus. The results indicate that arylsulfatase has been carried to the acrosomes from the Golgi complex within the proacrosomal vesicles during early spermiogenesis and within the vesi- des that the Golgi complex continues to elaborate during later spermiogenic steps. It is suggested that acrosomal arylsulfatase may play a role during early stages of fertilization by acting on the mucopolysaccharide-protein complexes present at sites of sperm passage.
Social Organization and Parasite Risk in Mammals: Integrating Theory and Empirical Studies

▪ Abstract Mammals are exposed to a diverse array of parasites and infectious diseases, many of which affect host survival and reproduction. Species that live in dense populations, large social groups, or with promiscuous mating systems may be especially vulnerable to infectious diseases owing to the close proximity and higher contact rates among individuals. We review the effects of host density and social contacts on parasite spread and the importance of promiscuity and mating structure for the spread and evolution of sexually transmitted diseases. Host social organization and mating system should influence not only parasite diversity and prevalence but may also determine the fitness advantages of different transmission strategies to parasites. Because host behavior and immune defenses may have evolved to reduce the spread and pathogenicity of infectious diseases, we also consider selective pressures that parasites may exert on host social and mating behavior and the evolutionary responses of hosts at b.
CONGENITAL ANOMALIES PROBABLY INDUCED BY CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE.

A child showing multiple congenital anomalies was born to a woman with Hodgkin's disease who was treated with cyclophosphamide during pregnancy. It is probable that the alkylating agent administered during the first trimester played a significant teratogenic role. Alkylating agents act as teratogens in animals but have not been demonstrated previously as a cause of fetal abnormalities in humans.
