Conceptual Art : A Critical Anthology

Compared to other avant-garde movements that emerged in the 1960s, conceptual art has received relatively little serious attention by art historians and critics of the past twenty-five years -- in part because of the difficult, intellectual nature of the art. This lack of attention is particularly striking given the tremendous influence of conceptual art on the art of the last fifteen years, on critical discussion surrounding postmodernism, and on the use of theory by artists, curators, critics, and historians. This landmark anthology collects for the first time the key historical documents that helped give definition and purpose to the movement. It also contains more recent memoirs by participants, as well as critical histories of the period by some of today's leading artists and art historians. Many of the essays and artists' statements have been translated into English specifically for this volume. A good portion of the exchange between artists, critics, and theorists took place in difficult-to-find limited-edition catalogs, small journals, and private correspondence. These influential documents are gathered here for the first time, along with a number of previously unpublished essays and interviews.

Pharmacist Scope of Practice, Standards of Practice, and Standards of Professional Performance for Diabetes Educators

In 2005, the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) published “The Scope of Practice, Standards of Practice, and Standards of Professional Performance for Diabetes Educators,” written by a multidisciplinary team. Nurses and dietitians developed and published complementary, discipline-specific documents. Similarly, this document addresses the specific role of the pharmacist in the delivery of diabetes education and is meant to complement the AADE “Scope of Practice, Standards of Practice, and Standards of Professional Performance for Diabetes Educators. ” The purposes of this document are
Private tutoring at transition points in the English education system: its nature, extent and purpose

International surveys indicate that the prevalence of private tutoring in England is relatively low but as few national surveys have been undertaken, there is little detailed evidence available. The aim of this research is to provide a systematic description of the nature and extent of private tutoring at three points of transition in the English education system and to explore students' and parents' views of the reasons for its use. Over 3000 students completed a questionnaire survey providing information on the extent of private tutoring in school curriculum subjects, reasons for the employment of tutors and demographic information. Over 1100 parents supplied information on their motivation for employing tutors. At the time of the survey, 7.6% of Year 6 pupils were in receipt of tutoring in mathematics, 8.1% English and 3.2% science. Comparable figures for Year 11 pupils were 7.9% mathematics, 2.6% English and 2.8% science. Overall, 27% of students reported that they had received tutoring at some stage during their school career and there were clear associations with family socio‐economic status and cultural background. Parents employed tutors to increase their child's confidence, improve their understanding of the subject and to help them do well in tests and examinations. Most primary age children indicated that tutors were not needed as their teachers and families provided sufficient educational support. Some families appear to be making strategic use of tutors to help their children make successful transitions in the education system.
The impact of audio-visual media on acquisition and learning : a longitudinal study of Chinese learners of L2 English

This is a longitudinal study, investigating the impact of audio-visual media on English acquisition and learning in the Chinese context. In China, there are several issues in L2 English language education. The quantity and the quality of English language input are less than ideal. Furthermore, L2 English learner motivation is undependable. Since language input and motivation is important in L2 acquisition and learning, it is relevant to find an alternative input which contains authentic native English to facilitate and motivate Chinese-speaking learners’ English acquisition and learning. Audio-visual media has the potential of becoming the alternative source of input on account of being a provider of rich authentic English language input and motivation stimuli. The impact of audio-visual media was tested in two distinct aspects, namely acquisition and learning. English genericity, and vocabulary meaning and form mapping were employed as test properties to examine to what extent audio-visual media can influence acquisition and learning respectively. A total of 52 Chinese university students participated in this one-year-long intervention experiment. The television series stimuli Doctor Who was only given to the experimental group during the input period. Motivation was a variable to allocate students in flexible groups for analysis after the immediate post-test. By conducting statistical tests, the results revealed that audio-visual media had a weak impact on English acquisition of genericity. The motivation variable was not influential in acquisition. In L2 English learning of vocabulary meaning and form mapping, audio-visual media had a strong and long-lasting impact in the self-learning setting. The motivation variable was positively influential in learning. When the vocabulary was applied to new contexts, the effect of audio-visual media and the motivation variable was not sustained. Based on these results, the Motivational Input Carrier Hypothesis is proposed to contribute to L2 research.
Design of M‐Channel IIR Uniform DFT Filter Banks Using Recursive Digital Filters

In this paper, we propose a method for designing a class of M‐channel, causal, stable, perfect reconstruction, infinite impulse response (IIR), and parallel uniform discrete Fourier transform (DFT) filter banks. It is based on a previously proposed structure by Martinez et al. [1] for IIR digital filter design for sampling rate reduction. The proposed filter bank has a modular structure and is therefore very well suited for VLSI implementation. Moreover, the current structure is more efficient in terms of computational complexity than the most general IIR DFT filter bank, and this results in a reduced computational complexity by more than 50% in both the critically sampled and oversampled cases. In the polyphase oversampled DFT filter bank case, we get flexible stop‐band attenuation, which is also taken care of in the proposed algorithm.
The Victim of Rape: Institutional Reactions

This unprecedented in-depth account of how our major institutions respond to the crime of rape is the first empirical study of rape victims in the United States as they come into contact with the police, the hospital, and the court. It presents the often devastating effects of institutional processing of rape victims. The authors, a sociologist and a psychiatric nurse, provide direct, on-the-scene reports of how rape victims endure the institutional process.
Up to the job? Auditing to assess the adequacy of an established ICP

An integrated care pathway (ICP) for stroke patients is in use on a Stroke Rehabilitation Unit. As part of a project to develop and extend its use, its current use was explored by talking to members of the multidisciplinary team and observing practice. Concerns were raised that nurses’ documentation was not always adequate or accurate. An audit comparing written information with nurses’ spoken communication at shift change was performed, which showed a low rate of inconsistent documentation, and served to highlight areas where the ICP structure did not lend itself to easy documentation. The audit was a simple and useful way of providing reassurance about the quality of documentation and for highlighting areas where further development was needed.
PIRLS- en TIMSS-2011: Trends in leerprestaties in Lezen, Rekenen en Natuuronderwijs

PIRLS Hoe goed zijn onze groep 6 leerlingen in lezen in internationaal perspectief? Zijn de leesprestaties sinds 2001 er op voor- of achteruit gegaan? Waarin wijkt het Nederlandse leesonderwijs af van dat in andere landen? Deze en andere vragen over leesvaardigheid worden in dit rapport beantwoord. In het voorjaar van 2011 zijn namelijk wereldwijd meer dan 600.000 basisschoolleerlingen getoetst in het kader van Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) of in het kader van Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). Het Nederlandse aandeel in PIRLS is in opdracht van NWO/PROO uitgevoerd door de Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, in samenwerking met het Expertisecentrum Nederlands. TIMSS Dezelfde vragen komen ook voor rekenen en natuuronderwijs aan bod. De eerste TIMSS stamt al uit 1995. Dit rapport brengt in kaart hoe het niveau in rekenen-wiskunde en natuuronderwijs zich in de afgelopen 17 jaar heeft ontwikkeld en of de prestaties van de Nederlandse leerlingen zich nog steeds kunnen meten aan de internationale top. Voorgaande metingen hebben laten zien dat Nederlandse leerlingen goed presteren in zowel TIMSS als PIRLS. In dit rapport worden daarom ook de resultaten van de drie vakgebieden met elkaar vergeleken. Het Nederlandse aandeel in TIMSS wordt in opdracht van NWO/PROO uitgevoerd door de vakgroep Onderwijskunde van de Universiteit Twente.
Factores motivacionales relacionados con la adherencia a la práctica deportiva competitiva en adolescentes

Numerosos estudios revelan un considerable descenso del interes y de la participacion en actividades fisicas y deportivas en la poblacion joven, fundamentalmente en el periodo de la adolescencia. El entrenamiento y la competicion pueden ser contextos ideales para fomentar el compromiso deportivo del adolescente, siempre y cuando el joven deportista alcance una adecuada motivacion, ya que esta es clave para lograr la adherencia a la practica fisicodeportiva. Asi, basandonos en la teoria de la autodeterminacion y la teoria de metas de logro, el objetivo principal de la tesis fue analizar los factores motivacionales que influyen de manera positiva en el compromiso deportivo de los adolescentes. Para ello, se estudiaron los climas motivacionales, el apoyo a la autonomia por parte del entrenador, las metas de logro, las metas sociales, la satisfaccion de las necesidades psicologicas basicas, la motivacion autodeterminada, y la intencion de seguir siendo fisicamente activo. La presente tesis esta compuesta por seis publicaciones, donde, en primer lugar, se analizaron las relaciones entre dichas variables de forma correlacional, y en segundo lugar, se profundizo en su estudio utilizando una metodologia cualitativa. Se administro un cuestionario a una muestra total de 608 deportistas de diferentes modalidades (de edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 17 anos). Ademas, 15 de estos deportistas fueron entrevistados.
Perceived error criticality and organizational learning: an empirical investigation

This study examined the effect of error criticality on the likelihood of the development of a learning organizational culture. Four types of organizations differing in error criticality (the severity of the costs of potential error) were compared in terms of the intensity of learning culture, operationalized as shared values of issue orientation, valid information, transparency, and accountability. Consistent with the study’s hypothesis, these shared values were stronger among air traffic controllers and high-tech workers (who face high error criticality) than among psychiatrists and teachers (who face low error criticality). Directions for future research are discussed. Copyright ? 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and Cornwallis Emmanuel Ltd.
Identification of stable sources of resistance to mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) disease in mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]

Abstract Yellow mosaic disease (YMD) caused by mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) is one of the most destructive biotic production constraints in mungbean. Development and introduction of resistant cultivars are considered as the most economical and eco-friendly option to manage YMD, for which availability of stable sources of resistance is a pre-requisite. A set of 14 mungbean genotypes including a susceptible check were evaluated for responses to YMD under natural infection across three seasons and under challenged inoculation in glasshouse for one season. None of the genotypes were immune to YMD and produced different degrees of response to MYMV in terms of yellow mosaic symptoms (YMS). Based on the delayed appearance of initial YMS, and lower estimates of per cent disease index and area under disease progressive curve (AUDPC) in response to natural infection and challenged inoculation, five genotypes namely AVMU 1698, AVMU 1699, AVMU 16100, AVMU 16101 and KPS 2 were identified as resistant to YMD. Failure of detection of MYMV through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using MYMV coat protein gene-specific primer and successful detection of the same through rolling circle amplification-PCR suggested latent infection of MYMV in resistant genotypes. The resistance response of the five genotypes could be attributed to enhanced activities of enzymes such as peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase and phenylalanine ammonia lyase and increased concentration of total phenols. These results are discussed in relation to strategies to breed mungbean for resistance to YMD.
INVESTIGATING LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF FEATURE EXTRACTION METHODS FOR CONTINUOUS EMG PATTERN CLASSIFICATION

Based on recent advances in modern multifunction myoelectric control devices, a combination of effective feature extraction and classification methods is required to enhance the high classification performance, especially in accuracy viewpoint. However, for realizing practical applications of myoelectric control, the effect of long-term usage or reusability is one of the challenging issues that should be more carefully considered, whereas only a few works have investigated this effect in recent. In this study, the behavior of the state-of-the-art multiple feature extraction methods was investigated with the fluctuating electromyography (EMG) signals recorded during four different days with a large number of trials and subjects. To this end, seven multiple feature sets were compared consisting features based on time domain and time-scale representation. Two major points were emphasized: (1) the optimal robust feature set for continuous (both transient and steady-state signals) EMG pattern classification and (2) the effect of fluctuating EMG signals with feature extraction methods for long-term usage. From the classification results, time domain feature sets yielded better performance than time-scale feature sets. The classification accuracies of the time-domain-feature sets had always achieved above 80% by using linear discriminant analysis (LDA) as a classifier and uncorrelated LDA (ULDA) as a dimensionality reduction, whereas the classification accuracies of the time-scale-feature sets were lower than 70% for the fluctuating EMG signals. The effect of dimensionality reduction for the classification of fluctuating EMG signals was also discussed.
Variabilité intraspécifique de la sensibilité des macrophytes aquatiques à la contamination chimique : l'exemple du cuivre

La variabilite intraspecifique fait partie integrante de la reponse a court et a long terme des organismes vivants aux fluctuations environnementales. Cette variabilite, exprimee au travers de differents traits des individus, peut potentiellement influencer la sensibilite des especes a une contamination chimique. La variabilite intraspecifique n'est pas, a l'heure actuelle, prise en compte en evaluation des risques ecotoxicologiques, alors meme qu'elle pourrait en biaiser les resultats. Pour examiner cette hypothese, l'importance de la variabilite intraspecifique dans la reponse au cuivre (Cu) a ete quantifiee en conditions controlees pour trois especes de macrophytes aquatiques, Lemna minor, Myriophyllum spicatum et Ceratophyllum demersum. Les variations entre genotypes de chacune de ces 3 especes ont ete comparees a la variabilite interspecifique. Les resultats ont mis en evidence une variabilite genotypique significative, dont l'importance depend de l'espece consideree. En effet, L. minor a montre une faible variabilite, au contraire de M. spicatum dont la variabilite de l'inhibition de croissance par le Cu est superieure aux differences interspecifiques. Afin de preciser l'etendue et les mecanismes de la variabilite genotypique chez M. spicatum, d'autres experiences impliquant des mesures de traits d'histoire de vie ont ete realisees sur 7 genotypes exposes au Cu. Les resultats ont montre que certains genotypes etaient jusqu'a 8 fois plus sensibles au Cu a des concentrations allant de 0.15 a 0.5 mg/L). Ces differences de sensibilite sont en partie expliquees par les traits mesures, mais des mesures physiologiques et/ou des approches en transcriptomique devraient pouvoir expliquer de facon plus consistante la source de ces differences de sensibilite. Enfin, 3 experiences faisant varier respectivement la teneur en nutriments, l'intensite lumineuse et la preexposition au Cu, ont demontre que la plasticite phenotypique joue un role majeur dans la sensibilite au Cu chez L. minor. En effet, l'affaiblissement des individus, resultant des conditions environnementales defavorables, peut conduire au doublement de la sensibilite de L. minor au Cu. L'ensemble des resultats obtenus montre donc que la variabilite intraspecifique, qu'elle soit d'origine genotypique ou liee a la plasticite phenotypique, demeure en regle generale inferieure a la variabilite interspecifique concernant les traits et les especes etudies. Cependant, son importance varie selon l'espece consideree. Elle peut donc influer significativement sur la sensibilite des macrophytes aquatiques a la contamination chimique, et gagnerait donc a etre prise en compte dans le cadre de l'evaluation des risques ecotoxicologiques.
Magnitude and Associated Factors of Non-Adherence to Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy among Children in Fiche Hospital, North Shewa, Ethiopia, 2016

Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) increases the length of life, quality of life and productivity of people living with HIV/ AIDS. However, the effectiveness of ART relies on strict adherence to it though such data are lacking in the study area. The objective of this study is to assess non-adherence to antiretroviral treatment and associated factors among children living with HIV/AIDS in Fiche Hospitals, North Shewa, and Ethiopia. Institutional based crosssectional study design involving 120 participants (patients and their caregivers) was conducted from May to August, 2016. Data was collected using interviewer administered questionnaires. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 20.0 software packages. Descriptive data was generated and placed in terms of frequency and percentage. Chi-square test and binary logistic regression analysis were used to estimate association between variables. Findings were presented using tables, graphs and figures. In this study, the overall prevalence of non-adherence was 35.8%. Most frequently identified reason of missing their dose was forgetting (44.2%). Age of the child, educational level of caregivers, occupational status of the caregiver and World Health Organization disease stages of the child were significantly associated with non-adherence. Adherence level obtained in the study was lower than what is recommended by World Health Organization which is greater than 95%. Forgetfulness was most frequently mentioned barrier of adherence. Effective work need to be done to optimize adherence to antiretroviral therapy in order to make children fully benefit from their medication.
Premenstrual tension and depression — is there a relationship?

A biological basis for vulnerability to post-partum depression has been hypothesised. Women who experience difficulty in physiologically compensating for the relatively minor changes of the menstrual cycle or who are biologically hypersensitive to subtle endocrinological stimuli are claimed to have even greater difficulty adjusting to the dramatic decrease in steroid output during parturition. A review of the literature found that most studies of parous patients reported an association between the occurrence of post-partum depression and a remembered history of premenstrual tension, menstrual problems and dysmenorrhoea. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether women who clearly suffer from premenstrual syndrome would have a history of mood disorders at other times of hormonal change, whether endogenous (post partum) or exogenous (oral contraceptive pill). Sample for the study were 75 women who were found after 2 months of prospective evaluation on strict criteria to suffer from premenstrual.
