Completed and attempted suicides among 18,154 subjects with schizophrenia included in a large simple trial.

OBJECTIVE To characterize subgroups of subjects with schizophrenia from the Ziprasidone Observational Study of Cardiac Outcomes (ZODIAC) trial who either completed or attempted suicide and those who did not. METHOD The ZODIAC, conducted between February 2002 and March 2007, was an open-label, randomized, large simple trial of patients with schizophrenia (N = 18,154) followed up for 1 year by unblinded investigators providing usual care in 18 countries; the primary outcome measure was nonsuicide mortality. Every report on a completed or attempted suicide was independently adjudicated using a predefined algorithm. Primary analysis for the current report examined the association between completed or attempted suicides and the baseline variables using descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression models. Usage of "hard" or "soft" methods for attempted or completed suicide and distribution of suicide-related events by geographical region were also summarized. RESULTS Overall incidences of subjects who either completed (35/18,154) or attempted (108/18,154) suicide were low, as were rates per person-time on assigned treatment analysis (0.24 for completed and 0.74 for attempted suicides per 100 person-years of exposure). The highest suicide-related mortality was seen among subjects recently diagnosed with schizophrenia. Among all potential baseline risk factors for completed suicide examined, the variables most associated with completed suicide were history of suicide attempts (OR = 2.6; 95% CI, 1.33-5.12) and usage of antidepressant medication (OR = 3.5; 95% CI, 0.84-14.85). History of > 5 hospitalizations in the past (OR = 2.1; 95% CI, 1.35-3.31) and history of suicide attempts (OR = 5.0; 95% CI, 3.21-7.76) were the variables most associated with attempted suicide among potential baseline risk factors for suicide attempts. CONCLUSIONS Our results, obtained in a large prospective randomized study, confirm current clinical understanding regarding completed or attempted suicide in schizophrenia and the associated risk factors. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00418171.
Haematological , Serum Biochemical and Electrolyte Profile of Donkeys Experimentally Infected with Trypanosoma evansi and the Effects of Isometamidium Chloride and Buparvaquone Treatments

The objective of this study was to evaluate the haematological, selected serum biochemicals and electrolytes parameters of donkeys experimentally infected with Trypanosoma evansi as well as determine the effects of isometamidium chloride and buparvaquone treatments. Twenty four healthy donkeys, about 11 to 15 months old participated in the experiment. Six animals were assigned to each of groups A1 (Infected-untreated), A2 (Infected, isometamidium-treated), A3 (Infected, buparvaquone-treated) and B (Un-infected-untreated; control) at random. Two (2) ml inoculum (2.0x10 Trypanosoma evansi parasites) was used to infect each animal in groups A1, A2 and A3 through jugular vein. Groups A2 and A3 animals were treated on day 28 post-infection with isometamidium chloride (1%) using 0.5mgKg I.M. once and buparvaquone (5%) using 2.5mgKg I.M. twice at 72 hours apart. Mean parasitaemia counts were evaluated post-infection and post-treatment while haematological, serum biochemical and electrolytes parametres were evaluated pre-infection, post-infection and post-treatment. Data was analysed using Analysis of Variance at 95% confidence level (P<0.05 = statistically significant). Means of parasitaemia counts and blood/serum parameters are presented on graphs and tables respectively. From the result, groups A1 donkeys had declined mean serum total Protein, Albumin, Calcium ion and bicarbonate ion levels but increased Alkaline phosphatase activity. Group A2 showed elevations in Albumin and bicarbonate ion, and declines in Alkaline phosphatase, Creatinine and blood urea nitrogen to pre-infection levels. Also, increases in Phosphate ion, and Potassium ion were observed following treatment. The group A3 did not show reversal of elevations in the levels of Alkaline phosphatase and blood urea nitrogen activities to pre-infection levels. In conclusion, the changes in donkeys experimentally infected with Trypanosoma evansi were haematological (anaemia and lymphocytopenia), serum biochemical (hypoproteinaemia, hypoalbuminaemia, Alkaline phosphatase and Blood urea nitrogen activities) and serum electrolyte (hypocalcaemia and decreased bicarbonate ion level). Isometamidium chloride treatment restored the levels of Albumin, bicarbonate ion, Alkaline phosphatase, Creatinine and Blood urea nitrogen to pre-infection (normal) levels with accompanying hyperphosphatemia and hyperkalaemia. Treatment with buparvaquone did not restore altered serum parameters to pre-infection levels.
The role of attitudes and behaviours in explaining socio-economic differences in attainment at age 16

It is well known that children growing up in poor families leave school with considerably lower qualifications than children from better off backgrounds. Using a simple decomposition analysis, we show that around two thirds of the socio-economic gap in attainment at age 16 can be accounted for by long-run family background characteristics and prior ability, suggesting that circumstances and investments made considerably earlier in the child's life explain the majority of the gap in test scores between young people from rich and poor families. However, we also find that differences in the attitudes and behaviours of young people and their parents during the teenage years play a key role in explaining the rich-poor gap in GCSE attainment: together, they explain a further quarter of the gap at age 16, and the majority of the small increase in this gap between ages 11 and 16. On this basis, our results suggest that while the most effective policies in terms of raising the attainment of young people from poor families are likely to be those enacted before children reach secondary school, policies that aim to reduce differences in attitudes and behaviours between the poorest children and those from better-off backgrounds during the teenage years may also make a significant contribution towards lowering the gap in achievement between young people from the richest and poorest families at age 16.
CFD Study of Combustion Behavior of Single and 3 × 3 Arrayed Huge Oil Tanks in Free Burning and Whirling Conditions

Huge oil tanks filled with large amounts of flammable fuel have the potential to cause large fires and there have been many serious accidents due to huge oil tank fires. It is not only of great difficulty to suppress a fire occurring in one of these tanks, but also of extreme danger for firefighters if a fire whirl occurs, since the fire whirl will induce intense heat radiation and strong wind. In our previous study we numerically studied huge fire whirls in a large oil tank depot. This paper presents a further CFD simulation study to clarify the more detailed combustion behavior of fire whirls in single and multiple oil tanks. Detailed combustion characteristics such as heat release rates, velocities of whirling flames and radiative heat flux are examined for single and (3×3) arrayed oil tanks placed in a tall channel with four corner gaps. In a single oil tank fire, the fire whirl lengths are about 10 times the oil tank diameter, and in (3×3) oil tanks with a diameter of 40 m, a tall fire whirl more than 20 times the single oil tank diameter is generated. In single whirling fires, the radiative heat flux on the fuel surface reaches a maximum in the center of the tank, which induces a large amount of fuel evaporation therein. However, the fuel vapor moves upward without combustion due to insufficient oxygen. The critical merging distance in the (3×3) arrayed fire is inversely proportional to the square root of the tank diameter. The rotational cycles of whirling flames of single and (3×3) arrayed fires are found to be almost proportional to the inverse of the square root of the tank diameter or the array length. A method to prevent fire whirl generation is also preliminarily examined.
Older mature-age students in Australian higher education : how are they ‘ getting on ’ ?

Introduction Widening participation in higher education is a concern for educators and policy-makers in many industrialised nations, including Australia. This paper explores the Australian context within which such participation strategies are implemented and focuses on one group of such students. One nontraditional learner group that receives scant attention in the Australian research literature, and yet is growing rapidly, is made up of those individuals who, for one reason or another, enter higher education at age 35 or older. While current mature-age status in Australia is set at 25 years or over (Krause et al., 2005), the European Commission (2008) has identified that it is in the age group of 34 and over that educational participation decreases. The European Commission's document Learning for All, which urges the setting up of more equitable education programmes for these older learners as the number of older citizens still actively participating in society continues to increase, has relevance for the Australian context.
International Surveys on the Use of ICD-10 and Related Diagnostic Systems

Several interesting surveys on the use of diagnostic systems have been conducted over the past two decades, initially focused on ICD-9 and DSM-III and then on more recent editions of these systems. They have reported on the extent and perceived value of their use as well as offered recommendations for future systems. The widest survey to date is that on ICD-10 and related systems recently conducted by the WHO Committee on Evaluating and Updating the ICD-10 Mental Health Component and the WPA Section on Classification and Diagnostic Assessment. It involved the participation of 205 psychiatrists from 66 different countries across all continents. Comparing the two most visible diagnostic systems, it found that ICD-10 was more frequently used and more valued for clinical diagnosis and training and that DSM-IV was more valued for research. Accessibility to diagnostic manuals and training appeared limited, particularly concerning the research criteria, primary care, and multiaxial versions of ICD-10. It also elicited structural and strategic recommendations for the elaboration of new diagnostic systems. It is suggested that it may be useful to widen the scope of future surveys, to additionally include policy makers, patients and families, and to conduct naturalistic studies of clinical care.
ETHANOL PULP EXTRACT OF DATE PALM ( Phoenix dactylifera ) MODULATES HEMATINIC INDICES IN DIABETIC RATS

In Nigeria and indeed most parts of Africa, Phoenix dactylifera fruit is often consumed between meals as snacks and for treatment of diabetes. This study evaluated the haematinic indices as well as the hypoglycaemic effects. Ethanolic extract of Phoenix dactylifera fruit pulp on normal and alloxan-induced diabetic rats were investigated following 14 days of oral administration. A total of thirty five (35) adult male albino rats weighing between 100 to 200 g were used for the study. Diabetes was induced intraperitoneally in animals from groups 2 to 6 while groups 1 and 7 were not induced. Acute toxicity studies showed no signs of toxicity up to a dose of 5000mg/kg b.w. Administration of 100, 300 and 500mg/kg body weight of the extract led to significant decrease (p<0.05) in serum glucose concentration of diabetic rats compared to normal control and diabetic untreated rats. However, there was a significant increase (p<0.05) in the white blood cells of groups treated with these doses when compared to that of diabetic control. Additionally, the extract resulted in an increase in packed cell volume, haemoglobin and red blood cells of the treatment groups, albeit significantly (P<0.05) when compared to the controls. Our results allude to the hypoglycemic properties of the extract as well as demonstrate for the first time, its modulatory effects on the hematopoiesis of diabetic rats.
Professional networks of middle managers: acting as social movements to achieve upwards engagement?

This paper is the first to apply social movement concepts to analyse processes by which middle managers (MMs) develop a common language (currency) to support their attempts to change organizational strategy. Conceptually, this paper extends literature on the strategic activities of MMs by concentrating on collective, rather than individual, activity. Empirically, we draw from a case study of UK public services to surface and illustrate how MMs try to promote changes in strategy concerning the delivery of integrated services to the elderly. This combination of social movement concepts and rich case data shows how MMs use professional networks to pursue strategic change through twin and reciprocal processes of: (1) framing issues inwards, towards movement members, and (2) issue selling upwards, to top managers.
Evaluation of immunohistochemical subtypes in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and its impact on survival.

BACKGROUND AND AIM Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Indian population. The disease could be divided into the prognostically important subtypes, germinal center B-cell (GCB)-like and activated B-cell-like, using gene expression profiling (GEP). The molecular subtype as defined by GEP could also be predicted by using immunohistochemistry (IHC) based algorithms using three biomarkers CD10, BCL-6, and multiple myeloma oncogene-1 (MUM1). It has been confirmed that patients belonging to the GCB subtype have a better outcome and survival than those belonging to the second subtype. The present study was conducted to study the prevalence of these two subgroups and their correlation with survival of the patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 83 patients of DLBCL were included in the study. Hematoxylin- and eosin-stained sections were prepared from the paraffin-embedded tissue blocks. The staining for all the three antibodies was considered positive when more than 30% cells were stained with the respective antibody. RESULTS The results showed that 44 patients (53%) had GCB immunophenotype and 39 patients (47%) had non-GCB phenotype. However, no statistically significant difference in overall and disease-free survival was noted between the subgroups. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that frequency of GCB subtype of DLBCL is significantly higher than the non-GCB subtype, and the non-GCB immunophenotype has better relapse-free survival 78% (standard error = 0.10) at the end of 3 years, while GCB has 56% (standard error = 0.23). Further studies should be performed with larger number of patients to show difference in clinical outcome between GCB and non-GCB subgroups.
Review on Recycled Aggregate Concrete in the Past 15 Years in China

A large number of investigations on the mechanical properties, durability and structural performances of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) have been carried out in the past 15 years in PR China. Studies on the production process and properties of recycled aggregates are introduced. Typical approach for the mix design of RAC is presented. The researches on mechanical properties of RAC are introduced from the compressive strength, elastic modulus and stress-strain relationship. Studies on the failure mechanism of RAC from the view of micro and meso structure are presented. The research on durability of RAC is introduced from the aspect of chloride diffusion. Studies on structural performance of RAC are introduced from the seismic performance of RAC frame under cyclic and earthquake loading. The last part presents some applications of RAC. These results reveal that with proper design and construction, it is feasible to apply RAC as a structural material.
Temperature and prey quality effects on growth of juvenile walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma (Pallas): a spatially explicit bioenergetics approach

A bioenergetics model for juvenile age-0 year walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma was applied to a spatially distinct grid of samples in the western Gulf of Alaska to investigate the influence of temperature and prey quality on size-specific growth. Daily growth estimates for 50, 70 and 90 mm standard length (LS) walleye pollock during September 2000 were generated using the bioenergetics model with a fixed ration size. Similarities in independent estimates of prey consumption generated from the bioenergetics model and a gastric evacuation model corroborated the performance of the bioenergetics model, concordance correlation (rc) ¼ 0� 945, lower 95% CL (transformed) (L1) ¼ 0� 834, upper 95% CL (transformed) (L2) ¼ 0� 982, P < 0� 001. A mean squared error analysis (MSE) was also used to partition the sources of error between both model estimates of consumption into a mean component (MC), slope component (SC), and random component (RC). Differences between estimates of daily consumption were largely due to differences in the means of estimates (MC ¼ 0� 45) and random sources (RC ¼ 0� 49) of error, and not differences in slopes (SC ¼ 0� 06). Similarly, daily growth estimates of 0� 031–0� 167 g day � 1 generated from the bioenergetics model was within the range of growth estimates of 0� 026–0� 190 gd ay � 1 obtained from otolith analysis of juvenile walleye pollock. Temperature and prey quality alone accounted for 66% of the observed variation between bioenergetics and otolith growth estimates across all sizes of juvenile walleye pollock. These results suggest that the bioenergetics model for juvenile walleye pollock is a useful tool for evaluating the influence of spatially variable habitat conditions on the growth potential of juvenile walleye pollock.
Impact of Organizational Culture Values on Organizational Agility

To remain competitive within the current, uncertain business scenario, it is vital for firms to develop capabilities that lead them to adapt and offer quick responses to market changes. Under the dynamic capabilities view of the firm, this paper proposes a model that presents an exhaustive analysis of two relevant research gaps: (i) the underlying relationships that determine the impact exerted by each of the four organizational culture typologies, comprised in Cameron and Quinn’s Competing Values Framework on organizational agility and, (ii) the contingency effect exerted by a key environmental factor, the industry’s technology intensity. An empirical study is performed to test the relationships proposed, using data collected from 172 Spain-based companies. To examine the contingency effect of technology intensity, the sample is divided into two subsamples, high and medium tech companies. This work uses partial least squares path-modeling, a variance-based structural equations modeling technique, in order to test and validate the research model and hypotheses posited. In addition, thorough analyses are carried out to assess the predictive performance of our model.
A STUDY ON THE ATTITUDE OF PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS TOWARDS TEACHING PROFESSION IN VARANASI DISTRICT OF UTTAR PRADESH

Teaching is very noble and pious profession. It is termed as the profession of the prophets. Teacher is a pivot of educational system and occupies a prominent position in the teaching learning process. Teaching being a dynamic activity requires a favorable attitude and certain teaching competencies from its practitioners. Teachers’ proficiency depends on the attitude she/he possesses for the profession. The positive attitude helps teacher to develop a conductive learner friendly environment in the classroom. Teacher’s attitude towards the profession directly impacts the student’s achievement. Primary school education is considered as the foundation stone of education in every country and in developing countries like India, its place is very crucial for the positive and desirable changes in the behavior of the students as it demands a clear set of goals love for profession and obviously a more favorable attitude towards the profession. Attitude being a social construct is influenced by many factors like gender, age, educational qualification ,stream of education ,boards of school and previous experience of the job . what bearing the gender, educational qualification ,boards of school and stream of education has on the attitude of primary school teachers towards teaching profession to throw light on this study was conducted to assess the attitude of primary school teachers towards teaching profession using a readymade tool.
Instructional Strategy with Different Goals Orientation on University Students ’ Higher Order Thinking Skills

The rapid development of communication and computer technology bring a great impact on human life including education. The use of technology in every learning process has become a need, particularly in higher education level to produce a better teaching and learning process. This situation makes a vast contribution to the learning paradigm shift from a teacher-centered learning into a student-centered learning. The implementation of online instructional strategies is expected to enable students to overcome their learning problems, to encourage students' self-confidence and to perform their own independent learning. In this sense, students' characteristics such as their goal orientation and online instructional strategies will be one of the factors in the successful implementation of the improvement of higher order thinking skills in basic chemistry courses. The aims of this study are to examine the difference among students' higher order thinking skills using different goal orientation of learning and using goal orientation of performance. This study employed a quasi-experimental research design. The subjects were students of chemistry education (MIPA) at University of Tadulako Palu, Central Sulawesi, the instruments used in this study consisted of a written test, questionnaires, observation sheets, and an interview which is done before employing the instruments. The data were analyzed using ANOVA (Analysis of Variance). The research findings show that there are differences among students' higher order thinking skills taught using instructional goal orientation and those taught with performance goal orientation in basic chemistry courses, with a probability value of goal orientation is 0.029 (
